Spring post-it-note holder with a pen!

http://stampingwithmarsha.blogspot.ca/2014_03_01_archive.html

This one is so easy to make too! (tutorial below!) It's a prefect little gift for teachers, bus drivers, neighbors, friends, just because, etc. Remember to change the colors and stamp set to suit your needs!

See, I told you it was cute! It's a Post-it Note holder with a pen! I found the pens and the Post-it notes at the Dollar Store (the Post-it notes might not be as thick as regular Post-it notes). 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

Paper: Crumb Cake (120953) 3 1/4 x 7 3/8, Melon Mambo (115320) 2 7/8 x 3 1/8, Whisper White (100730) 2 3/4 x 3

Stamp Set: Flower Shop (c130942)

Accessories: Sticky Strip (104294), Dimensionals (104430), Pansy Punch (130698), Pearls (119247), Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (117335), Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334)

Lets get started!

1. Take your Crumb Cake cardstock, score it in the horizontal position at 3 1/8, 3 1/2, 3 7/8.

2. Fold it along the scored edges. It should look like this with one side longer than the other.

3. Now you are going to make two cuts into the V, just up to the score line. This is the piece that will hold your pen.

 4. It should look like this.

5. On your work surface place the longer side down (or to the right). The longer side is the one where we put the Post-it notes. (make sense?)
6. Now you are going to adhere Sticky Strip to the small section right beside the longer side. See photo above.

7. Adhere it to the longer side. It should now look like this. Don't worry were almost done!

8. Now adhere Sticky Strip to the back of your Post-it notes.

9. Last step before you get to embellish it! Adhere the Post-it notes on the inside. Voila!~

 10. Now it's time to decorate the outside.

Cut a milk carton using the Mini Milk Carton Die.  Place the top of it on the 3" mark on your paper cutter and score the full length of the cardstock.  Then take the bottom, where the carton closes and cut 1/2" off.  With your scissors, cut the bottom flaps up to the new score line and fold into shape.
