I still enjoy taking everyday finds (like something from the Dollar Tree) and altering it with Stampin' UP! products. Like this:
What started out as a mini legal pad was turned into a pretty notebook. It was easy and fun.
I started with the measurements of the pad, which was 8" x 5". So I cut my Boho Blue cardstock to 8-1/4" x 10-3/4". Then I scored in the center at 5-1/4" and 5-1/2" (the pad was just less than 1/4" thick).
Before adhering the pad to the inside, I glued down a 3-1/2" long piece of Boho Blue Textured Ribbon, looping it so a pen could be stored inside the loop.
Then I used Tear & Tape Adhesive to add the notebook inside.
The outside cover was decorated with Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Night of Navy cardstock and a flower from Darling Details. And I stamped the greeting from Phrases for All in Navy Ink.
Creating fun gifts like this is relaxing for me, and they always make a great gift to thank my customers. Think about it when you need a little present for a teacher, friend or neighbor!
Tomorrow is the day! Time for the September - December 2023 Mini Catalog to go live! Stampin' UP! is ready to take your orders, so grab your Wish List and start ordering.
And don't forget to add:
