Post-It Note Book

     Here is the other Post-It note holder I mentioned in yesterday's post.  This is the one we made at my May Stampin' Nite class.  I thought this would make the perfect Mother's Day gift.

     I CASEd this idea from Angie Kennedy Juda.  She has a wonderful tutorial on her site.  It's so simple and quick to make.  I spent more time decorating it than making it.

Here is what the inside looks like:

A sunshine for Sunshine

     Sunshine is my OT therapist.  I've been working with her since March 7th - right after my 1st surgery.  I ♥  Sunshine!  She is so caring and yet pushy (because all therapists need to do a little pushing).  She has done such a great job.  I am having another surgery next Wednesday.  I will continue to work with Sunshine until I finally get the word from my doctor.

     4 months of working with Sunshine has built such a relationship.  When you work as much with someone as I have with her, you can't help but to build a bond.  Without her, my finger would not be as far as it is.  This being said, when I found out her birthday was earlier this month, I knew I HAD to make something for her.

     I made her this super cute Post-It note holder.  I CASEd it from Angie Kennedy Juda.  I also CASEd the sunshine from a photo I saw on Pinterest.  I have no idea who's original idea it is, nor if I made it the same way, but I did figure out a way to make it.

TUTORIAL: sunshine

Punch 2 circles from the 1-3/4" punch.  Punch 16 banners from the banner punch.  I sponged one circle and all of the banner pieces.  I sponged the 8 back banner pieces using a slightly darker color than the front banner pieces.  Adhere 8 banner pieces to the back on the sponged circle - spreading them out.  Attach dimensionals (cut in half) to the bottom of the remaining 8 banner pieces and attach to the back on the circle with the banner pieces already attached - offsetting them from the first ones you did, so you can see them in-between.  Attach the second circle to the back to cover everything up and to give you something to adhere the sun down.

     This is such a simple gift to make.  It's also such a WOW!  Everyone I've made one for absolutely LOVE it!

     I made on for Mother's Day, at my May Stampin' Nite.  All the ladies who attended just loved this simple project.  Be sure to check back tomorrow to see that one.

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!
