The stationary box is not new, I found directions for the basic box http://jackietopa.typepad.com/Stationary.pdfPlease note, if you are going to take the time to do a big project like this one, at least take the time to dress it up a bit. By this I mean, I love Jackie's blog and instructions, but the box as well as the contents seem a bit flat. Add dimension, color and layers. Don't forget a bit of glitter and a splash of wimsey.
It took me approximately four hours to complete this box, mostly because I had to wait for stuff to dry!
Most of the stamped images are stamped with memento ink and colored with copic markers, other images use a celebration kaleidoscope ink for those images. I also used a soft blue polk-a-dot ribbon. I have a bunch of new ribbon, if you are local and would like to share, please email me privately!
I hope you will give this project a try, it is not hard, just a bit time consuming!
Stamp Happy and have a great weekend!

You did a great job! I like the colors you use the light blue color with polk-a-dot. I had made one like this last week, it did took some time but I had fun doing it. Check it out on my blog.

A beautiful box! I love the colors you chose for it. Perhaps Jackie is like me and of the "less is more" school of thought. Many of the things I make are only mildly decorated as anything more seems like TOO much.
