Christmas Gift Stampin' Up! Style

     For close friends this year, I wanted to make them a very useful and practical gift.  When I saw these cute Post-It notes holders, I knew they were just the gift I was looking for.

     These also make wonderful teacher, secretary, & house warming gifts.

     Below are the ones I made this year.  Under each picture I've stated the colors I used on that particular one.  I will give the rest of the recipe at the end.

Pool Party, Island Indigo, & Whisper White

Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, & Very Vanilla

Old Olive, Certainly Celery, & Whisper White

Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, & Whisper White

Blushing Bride, Bravo Burgundy, & Very Vanilla

RECIPE:

STAMPS:  Four Frames & Mini Mates (retired)


TOOLS:  Decorative Label Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, & Stamp-a-ma-jig

NON-STAMPIN' UP! ITEMS:  3 X 5 acrylic photo frame & Post-It Notes (in various colors)

*NOTE*  Even though I used all the same sized frames, they were not all sized the same.  To ensure my paper wasn't too small, I cut each one separately - cutting them a little big to start.  I would measure the actual frame and add 1/8".  This usually worked - I didn't want my paper smaller than the frames.  Sometimes I cut it down slightly and other times I did not.  Each frame was different.

     I hope this project is one you will find quick and easy to make.  For me, it will end up boing one of those type of projects that I have a bunch made on hand for whenever I need a quick little gift.

Happy Monday!

     This card was a card I made with my upline, Sally Chuchman.  Her idea is simply gorgeous!

     This is one of those cards you can use for any occasion.  All you need to do is switch up the sentiment.
