Pansy Petals Sticky Note Holder

This cute Sticky Note Holder was made entirely from scraps using Pansy Petals DSP and coordinating cardstock. I participated in a Challenge during the month of October to use scraps instead of cutting a new sheet of paper.

Confession……I’m sometimes forget to use up scraps until they start piling up. Do you regularly use up your scraps or do they sometimes pile up, like mine, before you use them?

This is a great project to make for party favors, birthday/holiday gifts, and for craft fairs.

Watch my video below to see how easy it is to make. Then I challenge you to use your scraps to make one too.

Sticky Note Holder Measurements:

  • Fresh Freesia Cardstock Base: 3-1/2″ x 7-1/2″, score on the long side at 3-1/2″ & 4″
  • Basic White: 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
  • Pansy Petals DSP: 3″ x 3″

I hope you enjoyed my project today and will have fun making some Sticky Note Holders!

Candy Canes

I love candy canes at Christmas. During the holidays I keep them on my desk at work, I put them on the Christmas tree and we alway have extras so I’m usually still enjoying them after Christmas.

Of course I had to have the new Candy Cane background stamp available in the July – August Mini Catalog. It’s the perfect stamp for simple stamping with just ink, stamps and paper. I have found that the best way for me to get a clear image when using a background stamp is to use my Stamparatus. It allows me to stamp multiple times without fear of not lining up the image correctly. It was so easy I decided to make one with Real Red and one with Garden Green.

The sentiment I choose for these cards is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set, with pairs perfectly with this background stamp. To dress the card up a bit I used a bit of Gold Foil Specialty paper with the sentiment layer. It was quick and easy to put these simple, cute cards together.

Candy Cane Card Measurements:

  • Real Red Card Base: 5 ½ x 8 ¼”, score at 4 ¼”
  • Basic White Cardstock: 4 x 5 ¼”, 1 ½ x 2″
  • Real Red Cardstock: 1 ¾ x 2 ¼”
  • Gold Foil: 1 5/8 x 2 1/8″

Sale-a-bration Penguin Playmates DSP

My card today features the new Penguin Playmates DSP, available during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order. All you need to create this simple and cute card is the Penguin Playmates DSP, a sentiment, some coordinating cardstock and ink.

The card base is a piece of Just Jade cardstock cut to 4 1/4 x 11″, scored in half at 5 1/2″. I cut the Designer Series Paper layer to 4 x 5 1/4″ and adhered it to the cardbase with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Next, I stamped the sentiment using the Holly Jolly Wishes stamps set in Just Jade on a piece of Basic White cardstock cut to 2 x 3 1/4″, little to the left of center to allow room for the Polar Bear image. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer the sentiment layer on a 2 1/4 x 3 1/2″ piece of Just Jade cardstock. Then I attached it to the dsp layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I fussy cut the animals from a piece of the Penguin Playmates DSP. To attach the Penguin and the Fox I used both Glue Dots for the sections that attached to the Basic White cardstock. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals where they are hanging off the Basic White cardstock to give them the same dimension as the Basic White layer. I used Glue Dots for the Polar Bear.

I hope you enjoyed this cute card. It was quick and easy to make.

What will you create with the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper?

Happy Stamping!
