Post-it note cover - tutorial

This is a super quick make which costs hardly anything! 

All you need is a block of sticky post-it notes, some card, patterned paper and glue.

Start by cutting a piece of card so that it is the same width as your sticky notes, and long enough to wrap around; ie height + height + thickness of the pad.

Make two firm creases where the card will bend around the pad, then glue the sticky pad onto the bottom of the rectangle of card.

Then you will need whatever you want to decorate it with. I'm using a square of patterned paper, a heart shape and some letters. You can be as creative as you like - space permitting!!

Stick the square of patterned paper on the front.

Then stick on the rest of your embellishments - easy peasy!!

If you make one let me know! I'd love to see :)

Playing with my new toy

My (very lovely) mother-in-law gave me her Cricut machine, which is an electronic die cutting system.

So, this morning I've been having a play and made these cards.

A birthday card for a boy. Just using printed papers.

And a card for a girl. The image is stamped and hand coloured.

I love making personalised cards, and this machine cuts out fabulous letters in super quick time.

I also made this...

It's a personalised post-it note book; really easy - I'm going to make some more, in fact I feel a tutorial coming on!!
