On my normal Facebook Live this week I decided to make a fun Memories and More note card and gift box set that requires no stamping at all! Make some simple note cards with matching envelopes and a simple gift box to use as a gift with minimal supplies. Use some Memories and More cards, some coordinating cardstock and some basic stickers and embellishments and you can make this beautiful project.
Scroll down to see the fun pictures of the note cards and a link to the FREE PDF that will give you all the instructions and the easy box template to help you create this easy project.
the finished gift box
Here is a look at the finished box which I created with two sheets of Pretty Peacock cardstock. Some simple measurements creates this beautiful sturdy box that fits the 3 1/2″ x 5″ note cards and envelopes beautifully.
You could easily fit ten notecards and envelopes in this box if they were flat however if they are dimensional like the ones that I have created you will only fit four to five cards.

On the top of my box I kept the decorations relatively simple with some Dazzling Paper and some texture added with the Wavy Trim which I have frayed and torn apart. I have added some stickers which were from the Memories and More Sweet Thoughts pack. The Paper Butterfly Accent pieces were a perfect addition with some Wink of Stella sparkle. I also added some gorgeous Pastel Iridescent Gems which coordinate perfectly as they are Calypso Coral and a nice neutral colour.
The colours I used for this project match in with the colour palette seen in the Sweet Thoughts Memories and More card pack.

Here is a look at the whole gift set, which all coordinated and matched so well. These are so quick and easy to make. Once you know the basics of making the box, these are so quick and easy to make and would make great gifts!
a look at all four of the finished note cards
Here is a look at all four note cards which have been put together pretty simply with a Crushed Curry cardstock layer and cut down piece from the Sweet Thoughts Memories and More Cards & Envelopes. I actually cut down one of the card fronts in both Pretty Peacock and Calypso Coral to create my card fronts. All the note cards are relatively simple using elements from the Sweet Thoughts Memories and More pack. I mixed and matched fussy cut elements from the memories and more cards, stickers and strips of More Dazzle Specialty Paper with Paper Butterfly Accents and Pastel Iridescent Gems.
I added some Spritzed Pretty Peacock and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers over the background with some Wink of Stella for some additional embellishment to the cards.
To make the envelopes a bit more personalised I also took apart some of the envelopes some the Memories and More Cards & Envelopes and used these to adhere to the note card envelopes and cut around with scissors. This made them match the cards and the gift set.
