Good Morning! I made this card for my mom for Mother's Day. I still don't have a Happy Mother's Day stamp, so I used an alphabet set to spell mom. I've got to buy sentiments more often. I usually avoid them because they're no fun, but they also aren't there when I need them, .
-Stamps-Flourishes Poppy Patch, Image Tree Alphabet -Paper-Riding Hood Red, White and Black cardstock; Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red DSP -Ink-Riding Hood Red, black -Copics-R22, R27, R46, R59, YG95, YR31 -Accessories-Satin Ribbon (RABOM) and pop dots
I made this to store my 6 X 6 patterned paper. I had it all just shoved in this plastic thing and it was just about impossible to find what I needed. So once again, I got out some cardboard and got to work . I made this the same way I made my recipe box, only on this one the top comes off completely, and of course it's lot bigger.
I'm not really loving the papers and colors I used, so I may end up tearing at apart and recovering it one of these days. Not sure what I was thinking. It doesn't even match anything in my stamp room, and I didn't have enough of that pattern paper. I made the box a lot bigger than what I needed so I won't ever have to make another one. I made the 'folders' out of white 12 X 12 cardstock cut in half. I scored them at 6, 6.25, 5.5 and a few marks in between, so that the back of the folder is the same height as the paper so I can see the tab on the back. I LOVE this! It is so easy to find exactly what I need now!
Supplies-cardboard, White, Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip cardstock, masking tape, glue, round tab punch, DSP from Hobby Lobby.

Beautiful card Em! That box is really clever too.
you are very clever and creative today figuring out to make a box to store paper and how to come up with card without sentiments!
