A Trio of Sticky Note Holders

Three-dimensional projects are one of my favorite paper crafts to create. Today I made a trio of sticky note holders using three stamp sets from the 2017 Occasions Catalog. These would make fantastic teacher's, hostess, and Mother's Day gifts!

Craft with Beth: Sticky Note Holders Oh, So Succulent Lift Me Up Dragonfly Dreams 3D

The first sticky note holder uses the Oh, So Succulent Bundle. It's a gorgeous stamp and thinlit set that creates 2D and 3D succulents. I used Old Olive cardstock for the succulent layers and for the sponging. The sentiment is from a retired hostess stamp set called Summer Afternoon. This was my first hostess set. My mom and I both love this quote so much I couldn't part with it, but any sentiment will be fantastic here too.

The base is Tip Top Taupe. The first mat is Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper. The second mat is Soft Sky.

The second holder features the Dragonfly Dreams Thinlits and the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I love the delicate look of the dragonfly's wings paired with the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper.

The base is Blushing Bride. The first mat is the bokeh effect paper from the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper stack. The second mat and the stitched circle are Very Vanilla.

The third in the trio uses the Lift Me Up Bundle and the Carried Away Designer Series Paper. The base is Soft Sky. The first mat is Whisper White and embossed with Softly Falling Embossing Folder. The second mat is the hot air balloon paper from the Sale-A-Bration Carried Away Designer Series Paper.

I even stamped the back with the cloud images!

These sticky note holders come together in no time. Here's how I did it. First, cut your cardstock. You will need cardstock for the holder base, the first mat, and the second mat.

1st Mat

2nd Mat

This is simply how I chose to layout the cover of the sticky note holder. You can decorate the cover in the way it is most pleasing to you.

Then score and burnish your holder base.

Glue your sticky note pad to the inside bottom of the base. Make sure your sticky note pad is facing the direction you want.

Create your holder front embellishment. Then attach it to the front of the holder.

Your sticky note holders are ready for gifting or for keeping!

How would you decorate your sticky note holder?  What stamp sets and embellishments would you use? I would love to see what you create!

Get Your Shamrock On!

Looking for the perfect treat holder for St. Patrick's Day? Try these cute clear treat boxes decorated with an Irish theme! They would be great filled with rainbow candy or even gold foil wrapped chocolates!

Craft with Beth: St. Patrick's Day Treat Boxes Sealed with Love Teeny Tiny Wishes Treat Holder Fresh Fruit Love Notes Thinlits Stampin' Up

I used the three dimensional heart die from Love Notes Thinlit set to form the base of the shamrock. The stem is a 1/4" by 1-1/2" strip of Emerald Envy cardstock.

The center treat box has a 1-1/4" by 8-1/2" strip of Emerald Envy Designer Series Paper wrapped around. For the other two boxes, I stamped onto 1-1/2" by 8-1/2" strips of Whisper White cardstock to create my own St. Paddy's Day Designer Series Paper.
