so Happy your stopped in to visit today .. Our project today is this adorable post it note & pen holder .. Super easy and a really fun project to make . I want to let you also know that these small gel pens can be found at any office supply store, I got mine at Staples. I am also using the TRUE FRIEND stamp set with
Whisper white base ( 7 3/8" X 3 1/4 ")
Dawns side note : The measurements will depend on what size your post it notes are stampers .. Mine are
2 7/8 X 2 7/8 and also 3" X 3" will work as well .. I also apply sticky strip to the back side of my post it notes to adhere inside the holder ..
scored at (3 1/8, 3 1/2 & 3 7/8"),
Creamy caramel, 1" X 3"
Chocolate chip cut at 1 1/8" X 2 5/16"
Friend layer cut at 7/8" X 2 1/4"
and Really rust 1 7/8" X 2 1/4"
flower layer 1 3/4" X 2"
card stock I am posting the measurments since this video does move fast I have since found out that I can extend the overlays BUT this video does not have the extended overlay measurements Unless you pause and get them .. For my Future videos I will do the extended overlays for a little bit longer ..I was having issues with Veoh for my uploads so I am trying something new.
Until later.. Happy Stampin!!
you are such a smart cookie!!!!! I love it!! Thank you so much Dawn :)

Dawn, Thank you so much for typing out the measurements for this wonderful note pad holder. I really appreciated seeing the information in "black and white" since I sometimes miss it on the video. Thanks too for sharing all your wonderful projects. Where did you find the small pens to go in these holders? That looks better than the normal size pen. Thanks again!!

Dawn!
You've done it again! I love this idea, and you've made it so simple so that we all can do it! I had an idea to go with it, I hope you don't mind...but I was thinking if you wanted to give it to someone to carry in their purse (or for yourself) so it doesn't get too banged up, you could cover it with clear contact paper before you do your cutting for the pen holder and that would protect it a bit while it's ruffed around in your purse. :) Just an idea. And I guess you probably wouldn't want to use the dimentionals but it would still be cute and preserve it like it was laminated. :)
Always love all your projects and ideas! Thanks so much for all you do!

I made these with my kids at school for Father's Day gifts. I totally forgot to take a photo of them but there is one on my blog that I made while demonstrating. Mine are a little more simpler than these, because the kids are mostly special needs kids. They turned out great though.
