This is a project that I just had to try when I saw it on one of my favorite blogs. I love my post it notes, so why not make them pretty? I also thought this would be a fun end of school gift for teachers. I don't have any kids in school any more, but I know some of you do, and you're always looking for cute little gift ideas. This is simple and quick too! It could also be personalized by using a Monogram Stamp. How cute would that be?
This particular project measures 4-1/4" x 4-1/8", which is actually quite a bit bigger than any post it notes that I have. Of course I didn't realize this until after I had completed it. Just another excuse to go get some more post it notes...right? Simply adapt the size by measuring your post it note, and adding 1/4" to the width and doubling the length plus adding 1/4" (for scoring) when cutting your cardstock.
I used Baja Breeze Cardstock, and Parisian Breeze Specialty Designer Series Paper. This is one of the packs of paper I got free when I ordered 3 packs of DSP. The stamp set is Great Friend from the Occasions Mini Catalog. This set coordinates with the Matchbox Bigz XL Die, which I used to cut the Baja Breeze layer of the label. The label and the words were stamped with Close to Cocoa Classic Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and hand cut. The butterfly was stamped on white with Baja Breeze Classic Ink and hand cut as well. Sponging the edges of the DSP and the cardstock added the finishing touch.
The Buy 3 Get One FREE Special ends May 31st. That includes the Walk in the Park DSP found in the Occasions Mini Catalog. You can place orders from this catalog through June 30, 2009. And don't forget, if you're considering joining my team, you can do so now for as low as $75.00! Contact me or visit the website to find out how.
I hope you're all enjoying your day!
