IMPORTANT REMINDER:

For today's project, we have a set of note cards and matching envelopes to complete the gift set with the box we made yesterday.

A set of cards always makes a good gift...who doesn't need cards, right?  It will be a good feeling to have a few of these gift sets to have on hand when you need a gift for someone.  And, it's not too early to think about holiday gift giving!  This gift set would be such a thoughtful gift for a neighbor, friend, teacher, co-worker...you get the idea!  I'll just bet that you have several in mind, don't you?

Here's a video of a set of four cards and envelopes that are ready to be tucked in a cute box for gift giving.
