Post-It Note Holder

I have several old stamp blocks sitting around, and as I looked at the taller one this weekend I thought "This would make a great post-it note holder."  So, I grabbed some Memory Box Glitterati and got to work!

First I used the Memory Box Alpha Background stamp {E996} to stamp out letters onto Memory Box sugar plum paper.  I am going to cut out letters to make a word from the alpha background stamp.  This is such a versatile stamp.  I need to share it a lot with you in the future!
 
Next I cut down a piece of Glitterati paper to fit the block.  I then inked the edges of the paper and adhered it to the block.  You can also see how I have my letters cut out and mounted onto a piece of Memory Box parsley paper.  I also have my ribbon cut and ready to use on the block too.
 
For my next step, I attached the ribbon and my "note" word.  Then I cut down a piece of acetate to adhere to the paper on the block.  This way, I can attached different post-its over and over again without ever ruining the Glitterati paper below.

And here you can see the finished block:
 
 
Papers:  Memory Box Glitterati, Memory Box parsley & sugar plum papers
Stamps:  Memory Box Alpha Background E996
Stamp Ink:  VersaFine onyx black, Memento tuxedo black
Embellishments:  ribbon from Hobby Lobby, Creative Café button, Karen Foster Scrappers Floss white, misc. acetate

The pink post-its aren't quite that bright in real life but I just had to use pink. :) I can certainly use yellow, green, light pink, or any fun brightly-colored post-its since the Glitterati paper is full of many bright colors.

I think this would make a great gift for anyone--co-worker, child, teacher, friend, family member, church volunteers/staff, etc.  And think of the different post-it sizes you can use with different sized stamp blocks.  Very fun!  I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial.  Have a great day!

Patter, what a great idea. And as usual, you make it look so pretty. I'm thinking I need to unmount some stamps so that I can use the blocks. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
