Your methods make things clear and easy to follow. Thanks for spelling it out! I'm so glad you have the videos and the instructions for projects. I've had to miss your live feeds the last three weeks. :-(
I groaned when I first saw that box set, it looked like it would be so fiddly and hard to make, well your instructions were so clear, now I want to make some! Thank you!
I love the sample idea. With all my health issues, I get interrupted or simply forget. And I would make again and again and not stress about in subsequent constructions. Great job. Dee
I absolutely LOVE your idea of the template box and putting the measurements and the info on the template box and pre-cutting and labeling your decorator papers! What a great video, so detailed. What a great gift idea! Thanks for sharing.
Great job! I've watched three other videos today of this project and I must say -- "Your's make the most sense." I absolutely LOVE the idea of making a prototype first and adding all the measurements for matting on it! Brilliant! Simply brilliant!
MayMay, you are a Godsend! I watched your tutorial first on this box and it was a good thing I did! Had I watched several others first which were equally as pretty, I would've been zoning out. My attention span is limited! Your instructions were concise and descriptive. Thank you very much!
I know this is an old video, but I found it. You asked if we thought this is over-kill - ABSOLUTELY NOT! I appreciate all of the time you take to describe the project and the steps. Thank you so much.
I used to make projects like this with plastic canvas. But paper crafting takes up most of my time now. I love this stationary box! It's pretty, fun, and I think it would be a great gift for friends, family, or even a favorite teacher! Great video! Thanks Maymay!
The tutorial and video are very well done. The extra efforts you make to share what made things easir or the box more stable for ease and clarity are greatly appreciated.
I bought some coordinating paper stacks and card/envelope sets from M's to make some stationery gift sets... and now, I am SO excited to add this box to the list of uses for these pretty papers! Thanks, Amy!
I made one! I followed your easy to understand instructions and printed out the measurements from your blog. Thank you for making this project. I love how you walked us through it. I'll be making at least ten of these for gifts for the holidays and birthdays.
You are a great instructor Maymay. I just made one for one of my nieces to give to the teacher in one afternoon. This is something that I will keep making over and over again. Tahnks
I just found this, I want to say as a mom with crafty daughters, that template box with the measurements seems a perfectly reasonable so that they know what they need. Heading to the store to get a few supplies to get started. My girls did say it makes it easy to see it.
i will now follow you. i always wanted to make something like this but it looked to complicated. i love your step by step instructions, and all the tips you shared. thank you so much. i think you are an awesome teacher.
I have made this a lot of time and love put into it and not to mention the cardstock. Loved doing it.I think using the alphabet for the sorting the paper out is a fantastic idea.
Awesome!! I was talking to my daughter about how much easier it would be to have the sample! You make things so much easier to understand! I can't thank you enough!!
you are REALLY REALLY good at presentation! your explanations are clear, you don't stutter, or say UM, and the transitions to create a "real time" effect are seamless. GREAT WORK! (p.s. i teach for a living!)
Maymay, I gave a stationery box for a birthday gift and boy was it a hit. Already got orders to make some for Christmas gifts. Thanks for your tutorials.
I just now discovered this video. I love the idea of making a prototype and writing down the sizes. I did that with the folios we recently made. Excited to make some of these boxes and not have to use chip board for stability.
The video is an excellent resource Maymay! You did a fantastic job with the instruction as well. Everything was clear and systematic making it easy to follow. I think having the template to refer to for future use will certainly make this project easier to do and I look forward to giving this a try in the very near future. And yes! Please do show us how to make the card! As always, I look forward to your videos because of the care and detail you take in preparing them. Thank you again for sharing Maymay. You are certainly one of the reasons why I continue to enjoy crafting. God Bless You!
That is amazing. I also don't think your template is over the top. I have no trouble following your directions. I think you are a great teacher. Love this series.
I made one of these stationery boxes several years ago. I remember it being tedious. I like the way you broke down the steps. I'll try it your way. Thanks!
what an amazing idea to mark up the mats and in your sample you could pre prepare all your mats and put them in the pockets thank you for sharing your awesomeness
This is the first time I have ever seen one of your videos and I have to say it was Wonderful! I love how easy you made this and how you shared all the measurements and tips! Thank you!
I love your method of making a template with the matting measurements and corresponding letters to panels. I have a problem if I make something and then go back to make another one and have to determine the sizes again. Also, I like the idea of having all the mats cut out and then just glue. It makes the process that much faster. I may use this template idea for a number of other items.
I love it....thank you Maymay and yes please show us the card making and tags process to finish this project....I will be making a few of these this Christmas for sure......Again many thanks ...Pat
Maymay, this is so very helpful. I love how you made a template box with all the measurements and explaining all the steps along the way. Amazing work. It will help me in making my boxes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mary

i want to let you know that your the best on doing stationery box. I look at about 4 different people could not show how it was done. So thank you very much.
Thank you for showing us how to make the stationary box. Very easy to follow instructions. Definitely will be making a few, so the template box is a wonderful idea.
Made my template box & love it! Only change I made was in the length of the notepad cover. Made it to where a 3x3 post it sticky pad will fit inside the cover. That way it can be refilled when it gets empty!
Thank you, Maymay! Can't wait to make this! You are a good teacher! I have been watching your videos for about a year and they are always easy to follow. Also, follow your Facebook groups! Love Scripture art journaling! Thank you for all you do!
I loved watching your video. You are always clear & precise with your directions. I love the fact that You always share tips & tricks with us--you make it easy & fun to follow. I'm definitely going to make Some of these for Christmas. I loved the video of you & your Mother. I so enjoyed listening to your Mother. Enjoy every minute you can with her.

Loved the sample box with measurements, makes life so simple when you have a prototype in front of you. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration with the world. 🌎 👍🏻. I am anxious to make one.
You are the best at putting together an easy-to-follow tutorial full of ideas, tips & details. I, too, like to have templates, especially when doing multiples. This is a great gift idea, and I look forward to the card series.
Followed your tutorial step by step and made two of these today for an upcoming swap. You tutor like a true teacher! Great job!! Will be checking out more of your tutorials. And I found the labeled prototype invaluable. I make them as a new crafter all the time.
I like the way your doing the 'stationary box. It is good to make a sample, when you do the first and you need a guide. Plus there are time when you do a few and you would like to do another but you could not fine the you tube that show you how. I really think this is really good to give as gift. I am enjoy how your doing it. There is not over kill.
I came across your channel by Maymays channel. She was making one of your albums and suggested we check your channel out. I am certainly glad I did. You have a lot of interesting videos. I am sure I will learn a lot from you. I will be joining your facebook group as well. I love your excitement for everything. Thanks for the opportunity for entering your contest.
Would Love to see the cards made also. excellent gift idea for a large family that u never know what to get everyone. Thank u sooo much..getting started tomorrow. I'm going to use vinyl and cut out last names for front to personalize for teachers and sisters.
Great video Maymay. I love the way you break everything down for us. I think making the model is genius. By doing that you can get that out months from now and make them for another occasion without having to re measure everything. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Just wanted to let you know I finally got a chance to put the box together. It was a little challenging because I don't have a 12 x 12 score board but will soon. Your directions were awesome!!!! I'll post a picture after it's completed. Thanks May May!!
Love it. May try it with a cereal box and use magnets on the side so the sides stay when trying to put lid on. I'm hoping the up cycle on box works. Thanks for this.
I really love this project. No over kill at all! It's great to have the example to keep from years to come and when you go back to it the measurements will be right there! What a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing and giving inspiration. Your a very good speaker too!
I made one of these too and it took me 2 days to make a Cricut file. It totally tested my patience and brain. Your idea would have made it so much easier.
Wonderful!! Yes please card making for stationery box
No overkill here. Your directions are clear and through. Easy to follow. Love it!!!
I love this. I think I would add a magnet on each side to hold them in place when it's closed. I'm so glad I found you!
Wow! The detail in this is extraordinary, right down to ‘lining’ the inside of the pen with matching paper. Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your methods make things clear and easy to follow. Thanks for spelling it out! I'm so glad you have the videos and the instructions for projects. I've had to miss your live feeds the last three weeks. :-(
