Twelve Days of Christmas Day Five

Top Note Post-It-Note Holder

Today's project is a lovely gift idea my sister received and I thought I would share my version with you. It is a Top Note Post-It-Note Holder.   This would make a great gift for some one's Secret Santa at work! So thanks Sis for all your help and support.

Here is my version:

Supplies Needed:

Card Stock                       Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Glimmer Paper                Silver

Stamp Set                         Petite Pairs

Stampin Ink                      Versa Mark

Ribbon                             Gumball Green Stitched Satin

Bigz Die                          Top Note and Snow Flurry

Embossing Folder            Northern Flurry

Bling                                Rhinestones and Silver embossing powder

Tools                               Big Shot, Heat Gun and Simply Scored Scoring Tool

Punch                               Word Window

Post It Notes

Directions:

 I cut a piece of a card stock (I chose Cherry Cobbler) 10 x 4

Then I folded the card stock in half and placed onto top of the Top Note Bigz Die the length you want. This will give you the length you need.

Then you run this through the Big Shot.

 After you remove from Plates I wanted more texture so I used the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder and added some Snowflakes.

Then I scored the larger Top Note piece at 3 1/2 and 4inches using my Simply Scored Scoring, this should give plenty of room for the Post-it-Note.

I added a strip of  Red Sticky tape on the back of the Post-it Note and then placed it on the seam of my Top Note. For added support I ran my fingers up and down the seam so that when you open up the seam to make a good seal. Like the photo below.

1. Next  I cut a piece of Glimmer Paper and used the Bigz Die Snow Flurry from the new Stampin Up Holiday Catalog and used the medium size Snow Flake for texture and Bling!
2. Then I cut out of White White 2 x 2 inch and stamped Merry Christmas from Petite Pairs using Versa Mark. Then I sprinkled Silver Embossing powder on it and heated it using my Heat Gun to give it a Silvery tone. Then I used the framelit from Itty Bitty to make my tag. 
3. Next I punched a hole in the end using Word Window.
4. Then next I added the Silver Snowflake and Rhinestones.
5. Next I cut a piece of Ribbon the length I needed to wrap around and go through the holes I punched and tie a Bow like the photo below.

This end my tutorial on how to make Top Note Post-it-Holder.  I hope you enjoyed your stop today and let me know what you think. I enjoy reading each comment.

Don't forget to come back Friday for another project. If you would like more information email me at jackielwatson2009@hotmail.com

Twelve Days of Christmas....Day One

Welcome to our first Twelve Days of Christmas. I have been so excited in getting ready for today's project. So get ready for some fun and a lot of ideas.

Today I am starting with Snow Flakes in Triple Time. I love making these cards, they are easy and fun. I love Snowflakes, Snowmen and Sleighs.

First let's get started, here is my card. 

Supplies:

Card Stock             Crumb Cake, Natural Ivory

Stamp Sets             More Merry Messages and Snow Flake Soiree

Stampin Ink            Soft Suede and Versa Mark

Ribbon                   Crumb Cake Seam Binding

Accessories            Gold embossing powder for some Bling!

How I made this card:

First I chose the colors I wanted to use, Neutral Ivory and Crumb Cake. I love making Vintage Cards especially around the holidays.

1. I cut 51/2 x 51/2 Crumb Cake and folded to make my base card. Then I cut a piece of Neutral Ivory 4 x 51/4 this makes the base layer.
2. Then I cut 31/4 x 4 1/2 crumb cake for the mat of the second layer. Then I cut 3 x 4 1/4 of Neutral Ivory for the top layer.
3. Then I cut 21/4 x 31/2 of Crumb Cake for the mat of the 3rd layer. Then I cut 2 x 31/4 of Neutral Ivory for the top piece.

Now for the fun part, you layer each top piece with just enough adhesive to hold in place. Now normally you would stamp all 3 pieces and start matting, but I took it one step further I stamped my message onto the top piece and then stamped snow flakes all over with Versa Mark.  I sprinkled them with Stampin Up Gold embossing powder. Heat set with Stampin UP Heat Gun.  I then separated each piece and sponged the edges with Soft Suede to add shading. Then I glued each piece to the matting pieces, after that I then placed each piece on top of each other to form 3 layers. For some added texture I added some Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon and for some fun added another snowflake for added bling.

I hope you enjoyed your stop today and let me know what you think. I enjoy reading each comment.
