Today’s projects are a continuous of the notecard and post it note holder of yesterday. I am simply showing you the cards I made to go in it. I used the same Share What You Love DSP and even some scraps of it for these quick and easy cards. I made several more than the packet will hold so I have them on hand to refill. Actually this entire project is going to a friend. 🙂
Share What You Love DSP, 146926
The stamp set the Thank You is from is Tropical Chic. When I used it earlier in the week, I fell in love with the script of the sentiments. This is a perfect example of why not to throw away your DSP scraps!
Thank you for visiting again today. I hope you will be back on Monday for some new projects.

I always seem to be looking for something to write on, and usually find several post it note holders laying around. But for today’s project I have combined a Post It Note holder with a space to keep the 3X3 notecards for a Random Act of Kindness. Yes an odd pairing, but I have both in my purse anyway. It is designed to keep your little note cards from getting damaged before you can hand them out.
Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, 146926
It was hard to cut into this gorgeous paper! However, the thickness of the paper is perfect for this type project. Usually for these holders they are made of card stock and then another layer on top is decorated. This specialty paper takes away the need for that additional layer because it would be hard to improve on this beauty! Here are pictures of the inside. I used a different pattern from the same DSP package for the envelope to hold the cards.
I definitely do not have the touch with these type projects that my friend and fellow SU Demonstrator Julie DiMatteo does. (The Paper Pixie) But this one is really easy. I have included the measurements below. And if you did not want the addition of the note card holder, it is simple to cut the paper without that added length. Simply make it 3 1/2 X 7 7/8 (or 8). It holds 3X3 size Post It Notes, and 3X3 notecards in their envelopes.
I added magnets to the project to hold it closed. This can be done with other means, or not at all.
I appreciate you visiting today and love to read your comments. The DSP special for July is almost over, and unfortunately this DSP I used is not on the sale list. Sorry about that. But remember the JOIN Special gets you 10 FREE Ink Pads!!!
MEASUREMENTS and Directions: There are many videos on the notepad/pen holder portion of this project if my directions are not clear.
Base is 3 1/2 X 12
Score at 3 1/8, 3 5/8, 4 1/8, 7 7/8, and 8 1/2
Fold and burnish on all of the score lines
For the pen slot, fold the first three scored sections so that the center one is up and the other two are touching. Cut 2 times into the scored sections approximately 1/2 apart. (You should be able to see how to finish that part from the photo)
3X3 envelope: Begin with a 6X6 piece of matching card stock or DSP
Using the Envelope Punch Board, punch and score at the 3″ mark. Repeat this on all four sides, as you would to make an envelope with the board.
Now go back and score only at 2 3/4 on all 4 sides.
Fold and burnish all of the score lines.
Cut away all 4 of the corners.
Adhere the envelope together as you would any envelope. Round the flap you have chosen for the top.
To adhere the envelope to the inside of the top flap of notepad: place your 3X3 cards in their envelopes and place them in this envelope. (It comfortable holds 3)
Place Tear & Tape on the back of the envelope and adhere to the inside of the top flap of your pad holder.

I have found myself using quite a bit more Designer Series Paper in the last few months than I ever have. I am not sure why, but I am loving all of the DSP in the new Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!. They do know how to pick beautiful paper. Today’s card is carrying on that trend. I have used the Tropical Escape DSP.
Tropical Chic Bundle, 148339
Since this DSP debuted I have used more Blushing Bride card stock than in the last several years. Suddenly it is perfect to pair with several different colors. Here is my color combination for today. It came from the DSP of course.
The Granny Apple Green layer is the Bokah Dots stamp set. I love the look of texture it gives! For the flower, I used the Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Marker to color the entire flower. I then took the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Marker and lightly went around the edges and the inner lines. Mango Melody is the perfect bright color to compliment the others. The sentiment is stamped in Poppy Parade as well and punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch. The edge is also from the Poppy Parade marker. I simple ran the side of the brush tip around the edge of the cut out. Easy Peasy! Having the matching Framelits for this stamp set makes this a very quick card. I love that….
MEASUREMENTS:
Base Card of Blushing Bride is 4 1/4 X 11
Shaded Spruce layer is 5 1/4 X 4
DSP layer is 5 3/8 X 3 7/8
Blushing Bride small layer is 3 5/8 X 2 1/2
Bokah Dots layer is 3 1/2 X 2 3/8

You will laugh over the inspiration for today’s card! We have several bird feeders on the edge of our backyard. When I was refilling them yesterday I noticed some tiny corn and sunflowers trying to grow. Who would have thought you could grow plants from birdseed. Anyway…..that was the inspiration for today’s card.
Of course I took creative license in making the sunflowers blue! LOL!! The area where our bird feeders are located back up to the neighbor’s privacy fence resulting the use of the Wood Textures DSP for the stamping surface. You never know where inspiration will come from!
I don’t normally show other photos, but I have to share this one with you. I live north of Atlanta and we get strange weather. Well yesterday afternoon was the strangest yet, and a little scary. We had the largest hail storm I have ever seen. What do you think?
These are in my husband’s hands so they really are quite large, and oddly shaped. It sounded like golfballs being hit against our garage door and gutters. We had just been in the yard when it happened and ran into the garage. So I am not sure how bad it was inside the house. Yikes! I hope not to repeat that again.
Okay! Thank you for visiting today. The supplies I used are at the bottom of the page. And you will be surprised at how little supplies were used. Although I do have to say that I am growing more and more in love with the Mango Melody color!!

Copper has always been a favorite of mine. So I cannot explain why I have waited this length of time to try embossing on the Copper Foil Sheet! I hope you will be as happy with today’s outcome as I am.
Lovely Floral Dynamic , 148048
Isn’t that gorgeous??? (Please excuse the glare, it is difficult to photograph shiny items.) I cannot believe I have waited this long to emboss the foil.
I am sure you recognize the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper. The cut out flowers are from that pack as well. The wonderful sentiment is from that Suite of products and is aptly named Love What You Do!
For the corner rounder I used the new Detailed Trio Punch. I know I have used it several times recently, but I really like how it punches. However, today is the first time I have tried the ribbon hole punch that is one of the three different punches. I will definitely be utilizing it more often.
Thank you very much for stopping by today! I hope you liked today’s card. I have listed all of the products at the bottom of the post.
REMINDER : You only have until the end of the month to take advantage of the fabulous Join promotion to receive a FREE color family of ink pads. Also, the buy 3 get 1 FREE of the DSP will be ending on the 31st as well.
Sneak peek of August special promotion!

I have another sneak peek of the Blended Seasons Stamp Set that will be available only during August. It is a super stamp set with Christmas, Fall, and Summer stamps. And the font of the sentiments is just wonderful!
Blended Seasons, 149016
This sentiment is probably my favorite and I love the combination fonts for it. Can you tell that I just received my new Stampin’ Blends? I had to give them a try. On this card I only used the Highland Heather one though. The blends make coloring so quick and easy. And you definitely do not need to be a great colorer. I am for sure not one of those!! But the blends make it look good anyway! Yay!!
I did a little more layers than normal on this card. Again, that was done to show off some of the beautiful colors from the Color Revamp. These are Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and of course Old Olive.
Thank you for stopping by today! I very much appreciate it. I hope you will return on Monday for some new card ideas.
