Just a Note to …

I was the lucky recipient of this sweet note pad at our conference in Toronto. I sat beside Diane Inkster at our table and she gave us each one…I love the greeting that says Just a Note to Lift Your Spirits.  What a quick and easy way to encourage someone today. I think I’ll make up a few and carry them in my purse…just in case.
Lift-Me-Up-8She used patterns from the Carried Away Designer Series Paper…and the ribbon is from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack…both available for free with a qualifying $60 Sale-a-bration order.

When you flip it open, it looks like this:Lift-Me-Up-9There are 2 scored lines to allow for the thickness of the sticky notepad.
Lift-Me-Up-10The colored cardstock piece is 3-5/8″ x 7″ … scored at 5-1/2″ and 5-3/4″. The sticky notes used here are 3-1/2″ x 5″.

The Just a Note greeting was punched out using the Decorative Label Punch (#120907 ).

Lift Me Up

One of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Catalogue is Lift Me Up. My club members got to play with this bundle in their January card club.

 They learned how to make a Decorative Corner Card…
Lift-Me-Up-1It has 4 panels and is super easy to make…it looks harder than it is. The base cardstock piece is Smoky Slate, the first mat is Night of Navy , and then I cut mats from the Carried Away DSP (one of the FREE Sale-a-bration offerings).Lift-Me-Up-3I used the 4th panel as my greeting space… a place to write a personal message. If it’s around the back, you won’t see it when the card is displayed.
Lift-Me-Up-2Follow these simple steps to make this type of card:

Decorative Corner Card

Supplies:           One 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of cardstock (for your card base)
                              One 1” x 5-1/2” piece of same color cardstock (for the seam)
                              Two 1” punched circles of same color cardstock
                              Four 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” pieces of coordinating cardstock (for panels)
                              Four 1-5/8” x 5” pieces of patterned paper (for panels)

Step 1:   Score the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of cardstock at 2-1/8”, 4-1/4”, and 6-3/8” to make 4 equal panels. Make mountain folds on each of the score lines so they are all folded up towards you.

Step 2:   Score the 1” x 5-1/2” down the middle at ½”.

Step 3:   Decorate the panels as desired.

Step 4:   Glue the 1” x 5-1/2” piece along the sides to form your cube. Make sure it is on the inside so you don’t see it.

Step 5:   For the front, take the two 1” circles, fold them in half, and glue them to the centre fold of the base…then glue the focal point to those circles.
