Birthday Bouquet Day 6 Cute Notepads

Hello and welcome back..

I am not very good at using up my Designer Series Paper (although I am getting better) so when it retires I usually end up with lots that as a Demonstrator I can't really use. So I am always looking for ways to use it up and one of the ways I have found is to make notebooks, I love making notebooks and pads of all shapes and sizes, one of my favourite pieces of equipment is my Zutter Bind-It-All. But today's little notepads are so easy.....

These little notepads are 3 1/4" x 4" and I purchased them from Wilkinsons for 18p each...awesome.

For each one I cut a piece of DSP to size and stuck it to the front using a Stampin'Up Glue Stick. For this one I used my Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush to add a shimmer to all of the balloons. Then I made a little banner and stamped the sentiment. I used  a Mint Macaron and a Pool Party marker to colour the stamp. Then I used the balloon stamp from Honeycomb Happiness to make a balloon which I then stuck to the front.

For this one I used the cute ice cream cones, I stamped the sentiment in Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Soft Suede, then I stamped and cut out the cone from the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set and added it to the front.

For these two I used the floral patterns from the pack.

For this one I added a little banner with my name on and a Botanical Garden Jewel Embellishment. I made some matching pens to with them but forgot to photograph them...DOH!!  These would make great little gifts for pretty well anyone, I mean who doesn't love a cute notepad!!!

Summer Silhouettes Stationery Bag

Hey there Peeps and welcome back...

I have been having a lot of fun with the Summer Silhouettes stamp set, it is fast becoming a favourite. So I made this cool stationery set....

So here is the bag, it has a pocket at the front and a pocket at the back. 

There is a Notebook with matching pen, two "just sayin' hello" cards with matching envelopes, a Post It Note Pad Holder and a Match Book Treat Holder.

The bag is really simple to make, it uses an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Wild Wasabi Card, the pockets are layered Wild Wasabi and Whisper White Card and stamped with Wild Wasabi, Calypso Coral and So Saffron ink using the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set.

The Note Book I made using my Bind It All Machine, I covered two pieces of stiff card with Wild Wasabi Card added a decorative front panel, cut some pages to go inside and then bound it.

 I decorated the first and last pages inside the book.

I made a co-ordinating pen by adding a piece of stamped card into the pen barrel.

 I made two "Just Sayin' Hello Cards with matching envelopes... using the stamp set Crazy About you for the sentiment.

And no stationery set would be complete without the Post It Note Holder stamped in the same colours. 

I added a little velcro dot to fasten the pad closed when not in use.

And lastly we have a little Match Book Treat Holder for the obligatory chocolate......lol..

So there we have the completed set, next time I think I will make the bag just a little longer so the envelopes can fit in horizontally.....

If you join my team "The Rose Buds" during June 2015 not only will you receive 2 extra stamp sets but I will also send you a Stationery set as well.... Awesome Deal... check out the Join Me tab at the top of my blog for more details or e-mail me or phone me for a chat....I would love to hear from you...

Thanks for stopping by..
