Hostess Gift

Cards on the go kit


My upline shared this cool idea with us at a meeting last year. This is a mini version (hers used 20 of the regular size cards and a bigger box). You use the plastic stamp case, puch two holes in the top to string the ribbon and fill it with cards and envelopes.


The text reads: Cards on the Go In a hurry? In need of a card for that special occasion? For a birthday wish, a co-worker that needs a lift, or to thank someone for that special gift? Here are some cards for you!
