Thank you Linda. What a great box. Making them right now for my Mom and Sister for Mother's Day. Great video, easy to follow. I do need to know where you got the magnetics? Can I use velcro? thanks again.

I purchased my magnets from our local scrapbook store. You might be able to find some on-line. They are the thin BasicGrey type. You could also use velcro or purchase other types of magnets.
Thanks for the great question.

Thanks for the tutorial. I definitely became a follower. I wanted to know if this box is for 5x7 size cards. I tend to make more 5x7 size cards more than any other size, but just really wanted to let u know, the box is great.

I don't really understand the 2 1/2,5,10 1/2 inches part cos I don't really use inches...
I was planning to buy some clear plastic boxes to give cards as gifts until I saw your great tutorial. Your Expandable Card Box is so cute, "office supply-ie", and personalizable. Thanks so much for the great tutorial.
