Whatever Wednesday: Perfect Post It Notes

Be sure to read all the way to the bottom for links to two more great projects with instructions!

Such a cute little project for today's Whatever Wednesday post but there's a lot to say about it. First off I am a sticky note queen. I won't go without them and they are everywhere. There just so darn handy. When I saw this cute little holder made from, of all things, the Stampin' Up! exclusive Scallop Envelope Die I knew I needed to whip up a few.

Having made different varieties of sticky note holders in the past there are two things that immediately come to mind.

1. The sticky note holder should, if not go with your decor, at least not clash with it.
2. You should make the sticky note holder go with yellow. This is the most widely available color of sticky note. Take it from me. I created just the most wonderful sticky note holder before, thinking I could find a coordinating color sticky note and no luck. So this time I decided to make something to go with yellow!

With that said I still had my supplies from this weeks's Make Over Monday project on my desk and they all coordinate beautifully with yellow. Since Monday I've also been trying to think of other projects to put the Petal Pizzaz flowers on. After I used this set on Monday I've really begun to fall in love with it. I read on someone else's blog once that when her house or life in general get crazy and messy she tends to go for more clean lines. I think that is the case here and these flowers are perfect for a clean line, modern design.

So how do you make one of these oh so cute and functional sticky note holders?

1. Cut two Scallop Envelopes
2. Trim the bottom envelope flap to 1/2" (shown in the photo below)
3. Cut a coordinating piece of DSP 2" x 3", adhere to envelope.
4. Use Sticky Strip to adhere scallop flap over DSP.
5. Place Sticky Strip on the left, right and bottom envelope flaps (on the envelope withOUT DSP). Remove protective backing from Sticky Strip and adhere the flaps of one envelope to the other.
6. Adhere a strong magnet or two to the back.
7. Add embellishment of your choice and sticky note pad.

This is an awesome project! You can get white sticky pads from stamponthis.com that will go with everything! I can't wait to make some of these. Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree and couldn't wait to share it. I knew there had to be white sticky pads out there somewhere I just wasn't sure where.

Thanks

I am one of the fun of having short note since I was in high school days and now that I am older, I kept that in myself, if ever have any notice, I post it! :)
