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

IT'S A BLUE CHRISTMAS

I saw within the last year a beautiful card on pinterest that Amy Sheffer from http://pickledpaperdesigns.blogspot.com/ had posted and you guessed I cased it.!  I love non traditional cards, they are so Vintage!!!  I love Christmas and everything that goes with it.

Here is Amy version: Isn't is just gorgeous? Thanks Amy.

Now here is my version:

I changed a few things to make it work for me. My biggest problem has been the ribbon. I just couldn't find what I wanted. So I chose to put nothing. What do you think?  The  more I look at the card the more I think it needs something.  Don't be surprised if I change it again and re-post.

Supplies used:
Framelits                              Labels Collection, Itty Bitty Banner and Holiday Ornament
Punch                                    Scallop Edge Border
Embossing Folder                 Houndstooth Folder
Stamp Set                              Joyous Celebration
Card Stock                            Whisper White, Crumb Cake and Pacific Point
Stamping Ink                          Pacific Point
Stamping Marker                   Pacific Point, Crumb Cake

I also used Designer Series Paper, Simply scored for the design on the labels, Spritzer Tool, All Purpose Ink(Champagne Mist) and of course lots of Pearls!!! I colored them with the Pacific Point Marker, and left one Big one in the middle of the Snowflake. Oh for curious minds the top of the Christmas bulb has a small piece of SU Twine that I painted on top of it to make them match.

I hope you have enjoyed you time here today, please leave me a comment, I so do enjoy reading them.

Look What I Did !! A White Christmas

I saw this card on Pintest and fell in love with it. You can find it on  Laura's blog . She cased from Vicki I think, and she cased it from  someone else. So this card has been around and everyone gives it thier own touch.

Here is my version of this card.

I changed it up a bit, by using labels from Stampin Ups Label Collection. I also used two different shades of green on the Poinsettias leaves. This card isn't difficult as it is time consuming, it has allot of layers. Even with that I had allot of fun making this card and have a few more ideas on what to do next.

Supplies used:
Card Stock                                     Whisper White
Die Cuts                                         Labels Collection
Embossing Folders                        Perfect polka Dots, Vintage Wallpaper
Punch                                             1 1/4" circle, blossom Petals Builder
Ribbon                                           Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding
Stamp Set                                       Chock Full of Cheer
Marker                                           So Saffron
Accessories                                   Multipurpose Adhesive, Basic Pearls, Rhinestones
