Oh, what a cute extra feature in your design! I have a drawer full of stationary stuff that gets dusty, broken or misplaced simply because it is so disorganized and all cluttered up together. I am going to spend a couple of days of my holiday next week making up some of these boxes and get my storage situation under control.

ReplyDeleteHi Jamie, I love your designs, try to buy all Silhouette, please can you tell me what kind of paper you do these boxes? Or whatever is the thickness you have to have the cardboard? and where I could buy? . Thank you. Nina
Hi Nina! I use an 80# card stock or heavy double sided patterned paper. I am not certain of this brand, but I typically use Anerican Crafts, Crate Paper, Carta Bella. For card stock I prefer America Crafts or Basis. Hope that helps!
