Fast Scrap #3 WINNERS!

[writerlady]

We had 26 players - and according to random.org, these are the 3 winners: redsonic20, kguerico, and average_kim! Congratulations ladies.  Sprinkles to everyone else that played 

I thought it would be fun to make a little something to include with cards or gifts for Mother's Day - or just a little gift for someone - or for yourself. I have gotten these instructions from the internet from the following ladies. I did not post their photos (technical glitch on my part), but I included the samples that I made. =10ptIt took me around an hour or less to make each of these. There are 4 of them, but you only have to make 1 for this Fast Scrap. ,I hope you have fun with this - I did.

1) Photo of your project must be posted here by the end of this hour (4:05 pm eastern time).
4) Must follow all other ACOT NSD rules. ,No combining, etc.
5) Points will be awarded to random entrants. ,(I'll number the entrants and pick numbers with random.org) One winner per seven entrants!

1)  Post It Note Matchbook Covers by Sandy Mathis
 at StampwithSandy@aol.com
 
I made these Post It Note Matchbook Covers for my New Catalog Launch and Customer Appreciation Day earlier this week. I was so pleased that everyone loved them! They are super simple to do, also. You need to start with a piece of card stock 9 1/4" x 3 1/8". Using your Simply Scored, score at 3 3/8", 3 3/4", and 7 3/4". Punch the shortest edge closest to the 7 3/4" score line with whatever border you have. Crease the score lines with a bone folder. Decorate the covers as you like. Use Sticky Strip to hold down the flap at the bottom, and to attach the stack of Post It Notes inside. That's all there is to it!  It holds a 3" x 3" stack of Post it Notes.

[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image011.jpg[/img]
Start by scoring the short side of your 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper at 2 1/2" and at 6".
I marked my score lines in black so they would be easy to see!
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image012.jpg[/img]
Turn your paper and Score again at 3 1/4", 7 3/4" and 10"
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image013.jpg[/img]
Glue your 3 3/8 x 4 3/8 sheet of DSP in the middle box, it should fit just inside the score lines.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image014.jpg[/img]
On the opposite side, you will be cutting a 3 1/8" long line 1" down from the score line.
Make sure your paper is as shown with the 1" score line as the top of your paper!
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image015.jpg[/img]
Using a ruler or a paper trimmer cut your 3 1/8" line. It should be about a 1/4" from each sides score line.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image016.jpg[/img]
Slip the back of your Post it notes into the cut on the side with the DSP.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image017.jpg[/img]
Turn your paper over and fold all of the creases using your bone folder.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image018.jpg[/img]
It should now look like this, now fold the other score lines towards the back of the post it notes.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image019.jpg[/img]
Slip the long end into the opening on the short end. Turn over and voila post it holder! Now to add the pen holder on the top!
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image020.jpg[/img]
Score your the short side of your 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 piece of DSP every 1/2" or at 1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 2".
Go over creases with your bone folder.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image021.jpg[/img]
put a little bit of Tombow Glue on one end and adhere to make a square as shown below.
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image022.jpg[/img]
This should be how yours looks, now put a little bit of Tombow Glue on the side with the fold and adhere to the top of the holder.

[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image024.jpg[/img]Wrap pen in DSP, embellish a little and your done! Easy, cute and usable!!

at wizardshangout.blogspot.com
 
[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image026.jpg[/img]First, start with a piece of cardstock cut to 3 1/4" x 12".
 
Then score your cardstock at 3 7/8", 4 1/4", 6 1/4", and 8 1/8".
 
The only tricky part is making sure that you glue the correct section together.
 
If you need more visuals, you can check out the  instructions by Susan Itell below, where she explains in photos how to make these for 1 1/2" x 2" sized Post-it Notes.

• The base strip is 2 1/4" X 8 1/2" and then score at 2 5/8", 3 1/8", 4 5/8", 6"

[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image030.gif[/img]Fold and score the lines...scores 1,2,3 get folded in and scored...the 4th score line gets folded and scored in the opposite direction....(you can do it - I know I was challenged at 1st !!!)[img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image032.gif[/img]Sticky strip time...peel off the "post it" bottom sheet and put 3 strips of sticky strip on the bottom and then adhere this to the base...it will be towards the bottom![img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image034.gif[/img]Mono glue time!!! EASY DOES IT....no big blobs!!! This is the BARGAIN adhesive that we have...$3.95 and it is super strong...get it right the 1st time of placement because it is not forgiving!!![img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image036.gif[/img][img]file:///C:/Users/Sandy/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image038.gif[/img]Remember when I said that you can get 4 cuts out of a piece of paper...what you are left with is a 2" strip! Perfect...to decorate you need a 2" square!

[Scraprageous1]

Love how easy the last one is.  Now to do some sizing to make for other post it note pads.  I wish I had a more pastel post it to use, but yellow is all I had on hand.  Sorry about photo quality, but camera went missing, so the computer camera is all I have available right now.

Should have bought the 12 pack from office Depot instead of "borrowing" 1 from work. But I am sure I can modify for my larger post it's.
