Finished the Set

I wanted to finish up my re-purposing of the acrylic box that my PTI stamps came in.  I now have a matching pen!  Though the pictures show some Christmas cards inside, (it will eventually hold Thank You Notes) they are standard A2 cards and I wanted to see how they would fit.  Unless they are excessively over embellished, they will easily fit 4 cards and envelopes, more if you stuff it a bit.  I then had extra room at the top half of the box.  I cut a piece of patterned paper to fit the width (6 1/8th ") and 3" wide.and scored 2 times at 1" and 2" (even thirds).  I then folded it and placed in top to be my divider and pen holder. 

The pen is an RSVP by Pentel purchased at any office supply store.  I cut a strip of paper 3" long and 7/8" wide.  I then removed the ink assembly from the pen and used it to gently roll the paper until it was able to be inserted into the pen.  Cute and very easy.  Hope you enjoy the pictures!

I think it looks fabulous! And I've never been brave enough to try a pen. Like the paper you chose and the paper 'button' on the from. Great job.
