Post-it Note Holders using Plastic Frames

Hello everyone!  Kari from the Inspiration Team back with you to share a fun project!  You can get really creative with making these Post-it notes holders.

These are made from inexpensive plastic frames that you just slip a picture in on the side.  Instead of using the frame of how it was intended when standing up, the base of the frame is at the top when laid flat.

One is a 4x6 frame and the other is a 3.5x5 frame.  I just cut my pattern paper to size and slip it inside the frame like I would a picture. And, then the fun begins with decorating it how ever you choose.  I chose for my 4x6 frame papers from the Dewey Decimal 6x6 paper pad.  I also chose the stamp set Science of Love.  

I adhered my Post-it notes to my frame with regular adhesive( I use PLUS adhesive).  I, then cut down a piece of Audrey Blue card stock from SSS and I used the Scalloped Stitched Border Dies, to give my card stock a bit of decoration.  I, then stamped out my sentiment from the same stamp set in HA Cup O' Joe ink. I also added some Coral Lawn Trimmings.

For my smaller frame - I did basically the same thing, except for my papers I used the Hello Sunshine 6x6 paper pad, and I used the Speech Bubble Border die as well as the Scripty Hello die.  I added some shimmer using the Wink of Stella Clear Brush Marker, and added faux stitching around the speech bubble die cut to make it stand out.

These would make fun gifts for teachers, friends, co-workers, or just because for anyone! They are easy to make and you could get your kids in on the fun!!

Thanks for stopping by today, and hope you are able to join us for our newest challenge going on now :)

See you soon!

Custom Washi Tape

Chrissie here today! Have you ever created custom Washi tape? If you're frugal like me and you love washi, then you are really going to enjoy this!

All you need is plain tissue paper, double-sided tape, scissors, ink and stamps.  The two sizes of double-sided tape I have are 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch.  Now, keep in mind, if you are not using re-usable tape, this will not have the normal properties of washi.  Once you stick it down, it's done.  I've also heard that Scotch makes a re-usable double sided tape that is supposed to work very well for this, too (just something to keep in mind).

Cut the tape to the size you want and place it on the tissue paper, then cut around it, leaving some extra room for stamping.

Stamp onto the front (non-tape side).  I chose to stamp the steam from the My Cup of  Tea set.  I also took some lighter blue and rubbed it onto the paper to give the tape a blue tint.

After you are done stamping, just cut to the tape and peel away (ignore my dry fingers - my eczema is making me craaaa-zzzzyyyy this winter).  The Scor Tape tears away like washi does (the red tape is very heavy duty and does not, so I had to trim it with scissors).

Now you're ready to place it on your project.  Just remember, it's permanent, but it still gives that look of washi tape!

I personally also like it when the tissue paper is slightly wrinkled.  I think it makes the pattern more interesting.
