Post It Note Holder

This was a fun and easy little holder to make! It is not my original idea, but I can't remember where I got the instructions from. This holder will hold a 3x3" Post It pad.

The main piece is a piece of cardstock 3 1/16" x 9", scored at 3", 3 3/8", 6 1/2", and 6 7/8". I then used a Fiskars border punch on the end piece for the scalloped edge. If you wish to have a straight edge, cut the cardstock to 3 1/16" x 8 1/2" and make the score marks the same as before.

The front cover pieces are 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" (I used red), and 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" (patterned). Cut 2 of each if you want to cover the back as well. The flap pieces are 1 3/8" x 2 3/4" (red) and 1 1/8" x 2 1/2" (patterned). The flap is held down with a velcro circle.

The flowers on mine were made using Papertey Ink's Beautiful Blooms II #1 dies in my Cuttlebug. All cardstock is Papertrey Ink, except the yellow which is Bazzil. The patterned paper is Bo Bunny, and the brad is Recollections.

"Hi There" Ladybug Card

Yay! It's scraplift time! LOL


My inspiration for this card came from HERE. Eerily similar, aren't they?


The card is standard A2 size and I rounded the right side corners with my new We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper. All of the cardstock is from Papertrey Ink, except the black, which is DCWV. The ladybug was cut at 2.5" with the Cricut using the Walk In My Garden cartridge. The background paper is from the My Mind's Eye Simply Delightful stack, and the velvety red and pink dotted paper is from a Michael's clearance sale a few years ago - the maker is unknown.


The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Mega Mixed Messages set and was stamped with VersaMagic chalk ink Hint of Pesto. 


The circle and scalloped circle were cut in the Cuttlebug with Nestabilities.  The pink scalloped border was punched using the Fiskars Threading Water punch.


Super easy and versatile enough for lots of different occasions!

Hot Air Ballon Thank You Card

This card was so fun to make!!

Not only does Papertry Ink make super cute stamps, they also make dies to coordinate!!

The sun, balloon baskets, and sentiment are from the "Up, Up & Away" set. The sun comes in 3 pieces - the circle, and 2 rays so you can stamp in different colors if you want. The sun and baskets were stamped using VersaMagic chalk inks and the sentiment was stamped using Stampin Up Whisper White Craft ink. (The best white ink I have found so far!!)

The clouds were cut from white felt using the coordinating dies in my Cuttlebug, and the balloons were cut from Basic Grey "Kioshi" papers. The cardstock is Papertrey Ink.

Soaring By To Say Hi Card

This card was so fast and simple to make!!

Everything (except the Autumn Leaves buttons and black Staz-On ink) is from Papertrey Ink. (I'm LOVING everything from there lately!!) The stamps are the "Everyday Button Bits." I stamped the balloons and sentiment on Kraft cardstock and cut them out with Nestabilities dies in my Cuttlebug. Stick on a few buttons, add a ribbon, and you're done!

Thanks A Melon Card

I dusted off my Cricut and the "Just Because Cards" cartridge for this card.

I started with an 4.25" x 5.5" A2 base made from kraft cardstock from Papertrey Ink. If you have never used this brand of cardstock, it is super thick and sturdy and awesome for card bases.

All cuts are from the card. (page 55 of the handbook) I cut the red gingham shape at 4" as well as all layers of the watermelon. I cut the words at 3.75". All papers, except the base, are My Mind's Eye, and the edges were inked with Ranger's Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.

It was very simple, but I think it turned out pretty cute.
