Our challenge for this week from Tombow is “Anything Goes”. I LOVE those kind of challenges. Ü
When I made my first stationary box (scroll clear down to see) and mailed it, the post office lady asked if I would make her one for her niece for a bridal shower gift.
This was made
with these postage stamps as the inspiration.![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

The directions for this stationary box shows you how to make your own address book, but in my stash were these little 3.25″ x 4.25″ composition books. I don’t even remember where I got them, but they come 4 to a pkg. I was so excited to find out that the size was perfect for this. ![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I cut these tags with my Cricut using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.
These are the little notecards. I made 4 of them (don’t know where they came from either, but were in my stash. Maybe SU!??![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

And here are the six cards with envelopes (not shown). I kept them generic so the receiver could use them for any occasion.![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I used Tombow Mono Adhesive Power Bond to create the box and Mono Adhesive Permanent for everything else.
