If you're a stamper and you like challenges, or you're new to the idea of challenges and want to give one a whirl, I invite you to participate with The Challenge Chicks! We're a small group of friends and stampers hosting monthly challenges. Won't you join us?!
Our challenge for November 2014 has been issued by Kelly! The challenge topic is to make a Silver and/or Gold seasonal project. I chose to make a simple autumn inspired Post-it Note cover.
I used the Notepad Cover Bigz L die by Brenda Walton. I used my BigShot and two cutting plates to cut the cover from 80# cardstock.
Once the cardstock was cut, I folded the cover on the score lines that were created during the cutting process.
I used double sided adhesive on the back of a stack of Post-it Notes to adhere the stack to the newly created cover.
There is a nice opening made for tucking the point of the cover flap into, but I decided to change mine up a bit by using a little tiny mini velcro dot to hold the cover closed. I found the mini velcro dots in the sewing section of Walmart.
I used the die to cut several more laters of paper, including gold foil paper, so that I could embellish the cover. I adhered a button to the cover with a large glue dot. Clean and simple! And a nice small gift.
Now, get yourself a good dose of inspiration and check out the rest of The Challenge Chicks projects:
