Scrapbooking Sheets - 9"x12"

The Messy Box included 3 sheets of scrapbooking paper printed on one side. I love the chairs print and the tiny blue brushstrokes/dashes on the blue sheet. If you don't scrapbook, these look nice cut and folded as cards, cut to fit inside an envelope as a colorful liner, or framed and hung on the wall.

Journal Cards - 8 3" x 4" and 12 3" x 3"

These little journal cards are so cute. My favorites are the watercolor fronds but I also really love the chair prints and popsicles. These tiny cards would make great gift tags, just punch a hole in the top and add string.

All of the journal cards are printed on the back too. Here is the reverse of all the cards.

Journal Cards - 4 4" x 6"

The watercolor fronds card is everything. I've already hung it up next to my desk with a piece of washi tape so I can look at it all day long. I like that the flower and toucan designs leave room for a handwritten note as these would be so nice to include as a card with a gifts.

Here's a look at the back of the 4" x 6" journal cards. The backs are full of pattern vs. the front which are illustrations. I love all of these so much, each of the patterns is so pretty and the colors are perfect.

Washi Tape Sheet

The messy box also included a sheet of 8 precut strips of washi tape. The strips are cut thinner than typical washi tape but the scale works for the size of the scrapbook sheets and journal cards.

Stamps - set of 5 + Yellow Ink Pad

The box also came with a set of small clear stamps and a bright yellow ink pad. These are so cute and easy to clean. I can see me stamping the chair on all the mail I send this summer, even the bills.

Die Cut Word Banners - set of 13

The die cut word banners come in pinks, reds, and whites. 5 include phrases that suit the overall theme of the box and the rest are blank so you can write your own captions. They remind me of old school tattoos.

Neon Acrylic Pineapples

I have no idea what to do with these but I love them. Each is cut from yellow neon acrylic in the shape of a pineapple.

Here's a collection of my favorite bits from this box.

Verdict: This was my first Messy Box and it is now one of my favorite subscriptions! So much of it perfectly suited my taste and I think the value is really there for such unique and well-designed pieces. I love paper goods and stationery so I am full of ideas for making use of these items even though I don't scrapbook.

What do you think of the June Messy Box?
