Hi & Hello!
Today the DT members at Magnolia-Licious are having a Summer Notes Blog Hop to kick off the start of Summer. Using Magnolia Stamps, we have all made our own version of this super cute Sticky Note Holder in a Gift Box Set from a tutorial created by Bridget Owens (click the link for her fantastic tutorial).
My version uses the Tilda Wearing Glasses sitting on top of Books With Covers for the note holder. I just love how she peeks out behind Edwin when the Note Holder is slid into the box :)
The box the note holder fits in is created with Edwin Wearing Glasses and School Ruler stamps. The green polka dotted paper is Double Dot Paper in Wasabi Dot by Bo Bunny, a fabulous, bright green.
Tilda and her books are propped up with dimensional foam dots. The pink polka dotted paper is Little Bo Peep by American Crafts from the Baby collection; the Leaf foam letter Thickers are also American Crafts; the white ric rac 1/8 inch trim is by May Arts.
Designer Tip: You know the solid white cardboard that comes in the Stampin' Up! 12x12 paper packs? It cuts so easily in a die cut machine!
I couldn't get my chipboard to cut properly, so used the white cardboard to cut the largest square Nestabilties, then covered it with paper. It feels solid, stays firm and eliminates the need for measuring, which is tops in my book :)
The flower shaped polka dotted Sticky Notes are by 3M, purchased at Staples. Love the fun shape!
These Magnolia stamps, as well as Copic Markers are available at Magnolia-Licious Stamp Store. If Diana is out of stock be sure to check back as she gets new stamps in all the time.
Win Three Magnolia Stamps!
Create your own Sticky Note Holder and upload a link of it to the Magnolia-Licious Highlites Blog. You will then be entered to win three Magnolia stamps of your choice from Magnolia-Licious!
Your next stop on the Blog Hop will be the sweet and talented Cheryl Rowley.
Double post day at the Paper Monkey, be sure to check out my post below as I am hostess for the EI Friday Challenge this week :)
Have a fabulous and creative weekend! Thanks for stoppin' by!
