Happy Friday to you and you and you...!! Are you a list maker? Or a note jotter downer? Or a sticky note person? I am forever jotting things down and making lists and oh my do I ever loooove my sticky notes!! I have Post-Its stuck all over the place!! I usually have 2 or 3 pads of them sitting out on my desk and this morning I got a wild hair and decided to dress one of them up!! I thought it would be nice to have a decorated cover that I could leave sitting out on display holding a lovely stack of Post-its! Here is what I came up with:
I seriously {heart} this stamp set! It is called Magical Mermaid and it just sings to me!! Every time I pull it out and ink it up, it makes me want to go walking on the beach!! Ah, the beach!! *snaps back to reality!* Where were we...?! Ok, I started by measuring my post it note pad and then cut my cover down to the correct size. I made the cover 1/4" larger than the pad so it would slightly over lap. I scored a small channel in the center so the covers would wrap around the pad like a book.
Here it is open with the pad glued into it. I added a small pocket on the left hand side to hold more notes, or receipts or other loose tidbits for safe keeping!
My post it note cover is Tranquil Tide and I layered a piece of Whisper White on top. I stamped the sand and sponged it with Sahara Sand ink and then sponged in the water with Pool Party. I stamped the seaweed in Tranquil Tide and Pear Pizzazz and stamped the greeting in Dapper Denim. I stamped the background mermaids in Sahara Sand and covered them with the Wink of Stella glitter pen! So much shimmer!! I stamped the large mermaid on a sepeaate piece of Whisper White and colored her in with Blends alcohol markers and also covered her in glitter! I fussy cut her and added her on top with Dimensionals. Fun, little project!
Here are all of the goodies that I used to create my post it note cover today:
