DIY Card Box Gift Set with Simple Stories “We Are Family” 10

Hello this is Jennifer Priest and today I am making a decorated card box gift set with the Simple Stories “We Are … Family” Collection.

It’s never too early to think about holiday gifts and this card box is a great gift idea for someone special. I plan to give this one to my sister but it would also make a great gift for a teacher, neighbor, or friend! Customize the cards inside to suit the needs of whoever you’re gifting with the box. Since this is for my sister, I am filling it with family, thank you, and birthday cards as well as a few spiritual cards.

I used Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue as a decoupage medium to adhere paper to the outside of the box. I then used Tombow Xtreme, Tombow Foam Tabs, and more Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue to create a set of cards to fill the box.

To create this box, gather the following supplies:

Supplies:

• Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue
• Tombow Xtreme
• Tombow Foam Tabs
• Simple Stories We Are … Family Collection Pack
• Simple Stories We Are … Family Wood Veneer
• Simple Stories We Are … Family Bradz
• Simple Stories We Are … Family 6×12 Chipboard
• Simple Stories We Are … Family Simple Basics Kit
• Wood Box
• Chalk Paint
• Wood Knob + Screw

Tools:

• Scissors
• Paper Trimmer
• Bone Folder
• Paint Brush
• Drill (to attach knob)

I made this fast forward video showing how to put this project together from start to finish so that you can make one of your own to give as a gift.

The Simple Stories collection packs, like this “We Are … Family” set that I used on this project, are great for helping you have a plethora of coordinating supplies to make a beautiful project. pair that with Tombow adhesive for a winning design.
