Sweet Post-it/Pen Holder – Lisa Laski
This
sweet lil’ paper craft is perfect for teachers, office buddies, friends, craft
shows, etc. I utilized two of our sweet Close to my Heart (CTMH) cartridges: Artise and Art Philosophy. I also utilized the Blossom paper pack , Colonial White cardstock and Honey cardstock.
Supplies:
Cardstock, B & T patterned paper, adhesive, glue dots, bone folder or our super sweet CTMH score board, paper cutter, 3x3 Post-It Notes (found at
the dollar store with six to a pack!), Velcro dots (found at Walmart for a
couple of dollars for a pack of 20!) and sweet little pens (found at dollar
store with three to a pack!).
Directions
Circuit Cuts:
1)
Use
the base cardstock (Colonial White cardstock) to create your base of your
paper craft. This is found within the Artise cartridge (pg. 60, Card,
Family key) set for 3 inches.
2) Use the B & T (Blossom paper pack) for accent pieces also using
the same cut: Artise cartridge (pg. 60, Card,
Family key) set for 3 inches.
3) For the bow, use the cardstock
(Honey cardstock) for your bow found also
within the Artise cartridge. The bow takes two separate cuts, BOTH found
on pg. 55: 1) Accents 2, G, set for 1 inch 2) pg 55, Accents 2, G, set for 1
inch.
5) Use remnant of the B&T (Blossom)
for front and center soft rounded square (I’m lazy – didn’t want to have to cut
by hand/cutter and corner edges – also
another way of doing this!) found within the Art Philosophy cartridge (pg 23, <Square
1>, 2 ¾ inches). I also have the circuit
juke box, which makes it waaay easy
to utilize cutting from 6 Cricut cartridges at a time!
Assembly:
1)
Take
base cardstock (colonial white) cut and note the four slits. Score each of those slits utilizing your
sweet score board or paper cutter score or bone folder using paper cutter for a
perfect straight line. Fold at the
scores. Set aside.
2) Take your B & T (Blossom)
cut and cut the top fold area. Then cut
two perfect 3 inch squares from remaining portion of the cut.
3) Adhere the two perfect 3 inch
cut square solid color on the top and bottom portions of the base.
4) Adhere the one soft squared B
& T on top solid corner square.
5) Take pen holder cut and fold
evenly, place pen within fold to measure/ensure pen will fit, use adhesive
(preferably a glue dot for greater strength) to glue together. Remove pen.
Adhere pen holder to lower portion of top square inside (adjust to pen
height).
6) Adhere post-it notes on bottom
top inside portion of base cut, leaving the pen holder covered over with the
adhering of the post-it notes.
7) Adhere cut off B & T flap
slightly below the base flap, showing a slight trim of base.
8) Bow: Take bow cut and take ends
and fold together, meeting at the middle of cut. Adhere (preferably glue dot) to glue each
side to the middle. Take the second
straight cut for bow and adhere with the ends folder together to BACK of bow –
matching previous gluing together of bow. Flip – perfect bow! Adhere bow to the front flap – covering small
circle cutouts.
9) Adhere Velcro dots: rough side dot
on inside of flap and soft dot to match to top of B & T soft square.
Tadaa! You’re done!
