Happy Friday to you all! It’s been a really rough week here in Massachusetts. I have been running around all week trying to get more “stuff” outta my house, putting up two large lot auctions on eBay for a Stampers Dream Lot and Scrapbooking Dream Lot and trying to keep up with DD’s mood swings. Arghh can we just say I am in desperate need of a vacation?
In order to give myself some sanity, I found some time the other night to do this cute little Stationary/Card Box that I found the directions to here on SCS. It was originally made by Raelene. I switched mine around a bit from the original directions, putting the 5” section for the base of the box and using the 6” section for my sides. This box was really easy to make and a lot of fun.

I love this box. It fits up to four cards nicely on each side (for pictures sake I only put one on each side). I made it to give to my mom for Valentine’s Day.
I filled it with monogrammed note cards for her, using papers to match the box. I could even see giving a box like this with notes and a monogrammed candle in the center of the box for a birthday present. Also, next time I think I may use a scallop edge punch on the box top, like my threading water punch to give it a little extra flair.
For the cards inside I used SU Pink Pirouette CS for the card base and SU Chocolate Chip and Purely Pomegranate CS and Berry Bliss DSP for the accents. I used the Martha Stewart Monogram Set for the monograms.
For this box I used SU Chocolate Chip CS, SU Berry Bliss DSP, a 1/2” organdy ribbon and for the top of the box, I had some teardrop pearls from Michaels jewelry section that I threaded onto an eye pin.
Enjoy!
