Hope this blessed Sunday fines you all well. Beatriz Jennings, one of our very talented design team members, had sent me this beautiful project. She has created this with our two paper lines. I had to post it.

Thank you Beatriz. This is inspiring!

Our next hybrid tutorial comes to you from Michele Ciola, one of our creative digital design team members. This hybrid project is great, but simple. Anyone can do it. Thanks Michele for your work.

Note-Pad Holder
 
 
 
 
 
I was looking for a way that I could easily make post-it note holders 
for any size post-it  pad without much luck.  It seems there are so 
many different sizes that it makes creating these little beauties a 
bit difficult.  I happened to stumble upon an example by Traci of 
Particraft and was inspired to keep things as simple as possible. 
I decided to elaborate on her wonderfully simple design and have 
come up with a standard formula that should work with any size 
post-it while making it hybrid-friendly at the same time!
 
To start with, you will need the following supplies:
Post-it Notes (any size!)
Ruler
Digital kit by Marks Paper Company
Diamond Glaze
Cardstock
Flowers/Bling
Embellishments of choice
 
1. First step is to determine the size of your holder:
Measure the post-it note pad.  Double the length and add 1 ¼ 
inches. Then measure the width and add ¼ inch.
 
In my example, my notepad is 3x3 so my dimensions are 7 ¼ x 3 ¼.
 
2. Using your photo editing software, create a rectangle using the 
dimensions in Step #1 and insert desired patterned paper from 
the Marks Paper Company digital kit.
 
3.  Print, cut and adhere to coordinating piece of cardstock.  Trim 
cardstock flush with patterned paper or with a ¼ inch overage.
 
4.  Score lengthwise at 3 ½ inches and 3 ¾ inches; round corners 
if desired.
 
5.  Fold at score lines; adhere post-it-note pad and embellish 
as desired.
 
I hope you’ve enjoyed this Post-it Note tutorial and I can’t wait to see
what you all come up with!
 
Enjoy!
 
Michele
