She used a wooden box, but I just got a cheap $1 pencil box from Michaels because it works just as well and costs a lot less.
You can see her blog for the instructions. I'll just show you what it ends up looking like. I lined envelopes in two patterns. This is one of them:
This is what the main stationery looks like:
I cut the butterflies from printed paper I got at Michaels. I think it was made by Creative Expressions.

Beautiful! You are truly professional. All your family and friends are blessed to have you!
Very nice! I know your secret sister will love it!
That's so creative and a gift you can be proud to give or receive. Thanks for sharing the link.
Lovely box and idea! I need to get back into writing letters/notes, and I've been toying with the idea of decorating a portfolio so I can carry letter-writing materials with me. Maybe you can create one first so the rest of us can copy it (or just search out the links for nice ones). I think I want to start with a premade folder.
Ohh! I have the perfect idea! Give me a little bit to unearth the link, and I'll post it for you. :)
