Heart Sticky Note Holder

It's a new week! Thank you for all of the kind comments on last week's projects. I have so many things in the works and can't wait to share, but I must!

This sticky note folder was inspired by Connie Babbert. Cut a 3-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock. Score at 5-1/4", 5-1/2" and 5-3/4". Emboss on front side. Fold in half and punch holes for a handle. I used the Word Window punch. Then I put the sticky pad in using a piece of Sticky Strip. I added small piece of adhesive-backed Velcro just above one side of the window punch so I could tie a bow onto the FRONT piece only. This allows you to open the holder without untying the bow. There are SO many ways you can decorate this holder. You could make it any size you wish, also. 

I hope you enjoy looking at my project. I LOVE your comments! You are all so sweet.

Velvet Valentine

I just love all of the textures on this card. This card began by using the simply luscious 1-1/4" Two-Tone ribbon (Spring Catalog) in Basic Gray/Basic Black. Oh my gosh this ribbon feels so wonderful! 

I used a small piece of leftover (retired) Flocked Window Sheet from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper behind a Labels Collection Basic Black frame. I love how the Island Indigo looks behind the Real Red flocking!

Here is a close up of the ribbon and the sentiment. This is one of my very favorite cards. I got the idea for the ribbon because Stampin' Up's MDS program recently put out this ribbon in it's program and they have it tied like this as well as other ways! Even if you have a hard time tying a bow, you can make this two-piece beauty easily!

Thanks for looking! Please leave your comments below--I love to read each and every one! You have all been so sweet!

This sketch was fun! I loved substituting my hearts for the circles on the sketch. The small heart is stamped using the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and then die cut using the perfectly matching Hearts a Flutter Framelits! These sets make crafting a card so easy!

Occasions Mini Preview and Card Giveaway

I hope your Christmas was fantastic! We had a very lovely family time.

In looking toward a New Year, I have a sneak peek for you of some products from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog, which goes live on January 4, 2012 - right around the corner!

For this card, I used the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, buttons and coordinating *new* pleated ribbon. Isn't it gorgeous?

Close up, you can see the detail on this very rich ribbon! (It also comes in Pear Pizzazz, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze to go along with the colors in the Twitterpated Suite of products). SNEAK INFO: I didn't use them here, but another new item is LARGE pearls: 8mm size, 40 per package.

The buttons on my card are from the Twitterpated "suite" of items. The sentiment is from a new stamp set named "P.S. I Love You" which has so many different elements and words to make your Valentine cards. I hope to give you more sneak peeks before the catalog goes live, but it is such a busy time.

To make things more exciting, I'd like to give this card away! Just leave ONE comment ON THIS POST ONLY and I will announce ONE winner (US addresses only) on Friday, December 30th. The winner will have until January 3rd to email their address to me so I can send the card and envelope to you! Good luck to you all.
