Post-It Note Holders with The Cinch

I really love my cinch. I think I will start making some journals or notebooks. We'll see how they turn out!

I use chipboard, but I repurpose cereal boxes and other such items. I cannot see buying something you've already got plenty of. These are the larger post-it notes I found at Walmart during back to school shopping. I bought 2 for $1.

I really need a staging area to take pictures. I'm not a great picture taker, that is for sure. I hope you can see these and enjoy them somewhat.

Cheers!

Funky flower

Stamp is Hero Arts colored in with Bic Mark-It (I'm working on a Copic collection, but, gosh, they are mighty expensive!). Enjoy!

Froggy

Stamp is SU! colored with Bic once again. They turn out nicely, but I wish they had the various shades Copics have. One day!

Matchbook Post-It Notes

I bought a bunch of Post-It notes and made a bunch of holders. Here are the ones I made into matchbook holders.

Dragonfly

Stamp is SU! and highlighted with a white gel pen. I then heat embossed UTEE - 2 coats.

Patterned paper is from my old stash and the card stock is from a pack I bought at Hobby Lobby.

Polka dot embossing folder from Sizzix.

Dragonfly with Charm

Again, stamp SU! and heat embossed with UTEE.

Card stock again from Hobby Lobby and put through a Sizzix texture plate and then embossed to make it look a bit like aligator skin. Punch is SU! Charm is from Target Dollar Spot and the fiber from my stash.

Hearts

Card stock: Hobby Lobby

Fiber: Stash

Charm: Target Dollar Spot

Embossing and Die Cuts: Sizzix

Flower

Patterned Paper: Stash

Love Bugs

I like this card. I made it with me and my husband in mind!

The stamp set is from SU!
Hearts are a Sizzlet Sizzix die.
Patterned paper from Walmart - I forget the name, but I got a whole pad of 12x12 for $5! Different colors and patterns.
Red and blue papers from my stash - scraps I don't know where they are from.
Fiber is from CTMH. I bought it 5 years ago and I don't even know if they offer it anymore!

Have a great day!

I can see my dimensional in the picture so I will have to fix that. I have a ton to post, but I cannot get my camera to work well. I used my BB to take this picture and you can see how well it turned out... groan. As soon as I can get them, I will start posting one a day or so. Thanks for stopping by!
