  1. Such a cute box as always, but what is the size of DSP for the cover & how are you cutting that to fit box?? Is it only in the video?

  2. Oh my gosh, Julie, what a gorgeous way to dress up a pack of gum, the glimmer paper is so beautiful, and I love that there is very little of it that gets thrown out.
    Thank you for yet another fun and fabulous video.
    Stay healthy and safe.
    Hugs.
    Maria.
