Stationary Box

Yep, I jumped on the Stationary Box bandwagon. When I first saw this on Nancy Riley's blog, iSTAMP, I thought "How cool! I can do that!" The directions for the box are here. I absolutely love the new Bella Rose DS paper from SU! I just couldn't decide which combination I wanted to use to do the box. I think it turned out okay.

Here is the inside of the box.

Here is a view of the tags and 3 x 3 note cards outside of the box.

Here is the larger sized cards that I put in the box. I have no idea who this box is going to, but for now I made the cards and put my initial for my last name on there. I love the new Just Rite Monogram stamps that are out there, but just can't take that plunge yet, so this is my version on the monogram card. I used SU!'s scallop circle punch and the 1 1/4" circle punch and the retired set, Whimsical Alpha Upper for the letter "H".

If you make one of these boxes, I'd love to see it. Leave a comment with a link to your box. Hope you enjoyed this.

New In-Color Comparison Chart

WOW! Can you believe I'm actually blogging? I haven't stamped since the end of May, well, except for the occasional birthday cards that needed to go into the mail. I finally dedicated some time to the craft room the other night. These girls of mine have been wearing me out this summer....I'm lucky if I'm awake past 9pm! Camryn isn't walking quite yet, but she sure can scale every object in the house. Needless to say, she is keeping my on my toes!

Here is my rendition of the new 08-09 In-Color comparison chart.

The new In-Colors are: Comparisons:

Riding Hood Red Ruby Red & Real Red

Pink Pirouette Blush Blossom & Pretty In Pink

Kiwi Kiss Certainly Celery & Old Olive

Baja Breeze Bashful Blue & Bordering Blue

Tangerine Tango Only Orange & Pumpkin Pie

Pacific Point Ballet Blue & Brilliant Blue

I love the new Bella Rose designer series paper that has the colors Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss & Pink Pirouette in it. I'm in the process of making a Stationary Box, that so many other have made, with this paper, but I'm slow in the process. I'll get it done one of these days!

Emerson finally starts preschool in the fall and that will finally lend more time to stamping....I hope! I hope you are all enjoying your summer.
