Sorry for the delay in posting the promised Teacher Gifts I made for my kids' teachers this year. The gifts included both a stamped item and a Tastefully Simple gift - two-fer!
This project is Super Easy - Take a standard 3x3 sticky note pad and cover it with cardstock, then decorate the front.
The dimensions for the project are as follows:
Cover: 8 x 3, scored at 3 inches, 3-1/2 inches, 6-1/2 inches, and 7 inches
First Mat: 2-3/4 x 2-3/4
Second Mat: 2-5/8 x 2-5/8
Picture piece: 2-1/2 x 2-1/2
Stamp the Picture Piece as desired, I used the new "Awash With Flowers" stamp set that will be featured in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog (and was a special Sneak Peek Offer in April). The colors I used were Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, and Bermuda Bay for both ink and cardstock colors.
Put together the Picture Piece and the two mats.
Take the backing off of the sticky note pad and attach it to the inside of the cover using it's own sticky strip and more SNAIL (to keep it secure). Fold the sides around the pad. You'll notice a long end and a short end. Attach the Picture/Mat piece to the front of the long end, but only apply SNAIL to the half closest to the fold. The short end then tucks in between the Picture/Mat piece and the long end to sort of "lock" it into place.
Then I decorated an RSVP pen with a piece of decorated computer paper (1-1/4 x 3-1/4) rolled inside the barrel of the pen.
Put the whole thing in a cellophane bag, tie with ribbon and add a gift tag!
These are very fast and easy, and inexpensive.
Give it a try, and send me your version - I'll post it here!
Thanks!
Peg
