So here it is! This is my tutorial on post-it note holders. I learned how from this thread on Splitcoaststampers.com. Please let me know if there is anything that doesn’t make sense!
Supplies:
Cardstock
Paper trimmer with scoring blade
Post-it note pad
Embellishments (optional)
Cardstock
Paper trimmer with scoring blade
Post-it note pad
Embellishments (optional)
Step 1: Cut cardstock to 7 ½ inches long.
Step 2:Cut cardstock to 3 ½ inches wide.
Step 3:
Score cardstock at 3 ½ inches and again at 4 inches.
Step 4:
Fold cardstock on score line. Then flip it over and fold the other side, both sides should be folded in towards each other.
Step 5:
Put adhesive all around the back of the post-it note pad.
Put adhesive all around the back of the post-it note pad.
Step 6:Place post-it pad on cardstock with even border of cardstock all the way around. It should fold together like this once it is in there.
Step 7:
Embellish as you like! I used narrow organdy ribbon, my mega scalloped circle punch, dimensionals, Happy Harmony from SU, and a sentiment from Wordsworth.

And here is the final product! These are really simple, make great gifts, and can be dressed up many ways!

Love these. Thanks for the great tutorial…very clear and easy to understand.
January 16th, 2007 at 7:44 am
Whoops…I forgot to add what I’d like to see a tutorial on. I just bought a bunch of those chipboard coasters from someone on SCS. I would love to see you do something cool and creative with those that I could copy
January 16th, 2007 at 7:45 am
This is sooo cute! I will have to do these at our stamp club. Thanks for the idea. I’ve had lots of comments for other cards I’ve done thanks to your tutorials. Love all the ideas you have given us so just keep up the great work! Bonnie

Great tutorial, very clear! Thank you so much!
As for an idea on your next tutorial, how about the pens that match? I’d love to learn how to make those.
Thank you again,

AWESOME! Thanks for the simple tutorial as well! I love your style and visit your gallery often! Thanks again for the inspiration!

Emily, you are so creative! I love your blog! I am a little behind, but I would love to learn how to do the slider cards. Thanks.
January 16th, 2007 at 11:26 am
i’d love to see a tutorial on how to cover those large (wooden?) letters with paper/embellishments. i always see those and think they’re so cool but don’t know how to start.
the post-it note holders are so cool; those would make great gifties for valentines. and look straightforward too; thanks for the tutorial.
January 16th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
I just love this post it note holder, I also made a diamond book from your tutorial, I haven’t finished with all the embellishments but the book is done and your instructions are awesome, I would love to learn how to make some of those cute pens that match also!
January 16th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Wow, Emily, you make it look soooo easy! Love how you use the PC scraper instead of a bone folder. I use mine for sooo many things, too! Thanks for being so generous!
January 16th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Emily, you did such a wonderful job on it! Loved it!! I’m into punches and anything scalloped edged but most time I draw a blank. Can you please do a tutorial on anything you can come up with for punches?
thanks,
cammy

Beautiful Emily!
I would like to see how you do your wooden letters.

Thanks for this. Great gift idea. I love your blog and have learnt so much from you here. Look forward to every addition. Is your signature your own handwriting or a font? I love it - would really like to use it as a font if it’s available. Thanks.

I love all your tutorials! I’ve tried Polished Stone, but when I use metallic ink, it NEVER dries! Do you do polished stone?

Hmm… maybe a donut card or a suspended type thing with fishing line. I don’t even know how to explain that one.
Thanks so much for your willingness to do these tutorials for us! I can’t wait to try the post it note holder!
January 16th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Emily… I have seen a lot of papercrafted post-it holders but this one has to be my favorite. I love that you personalized it with the monogram. Thanks for sharing the instructions. I have seen some samples of tea bag card holders using envelopes but can’t seem to find instructions. I would also love to see tutorials on how to make papercrafted gift items where I could use my paper scraps. Thanks for sharing your designs!
January 16th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
I would love it if you could demo a tutorial on using modge podge; how do you cover (for example) those little Target mailboxes. what types of brushes work best and how do you measure for odd shapes for the best paper coverage :0)
I love your creativity!
January 16th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
What lovely examples, as usual. Your color selection and images are great. An idea for a tutorial is how and when to do paper piercing - those cute little corner dots, for example.
January 16th, 2007 at 10:01 pm
love it! very cute…i’ve always wondered about the glue, but I saw your glue link and I laughed hysterically at the 1974 WW cards link, as well. (I personally was served some tuna/v-8/mashed potato WW dish as a child in the 70’s)
future tutorial ideas….i love all your paper stuff but what i really want to know is how you did your digital signature….
thanks for sharing!
January 17th, 2007 at 8:14 am
Love the post it holder. All of your work is just beautiful - thanks so much for sharing! I would love to see a tutorial on making jewelry out of stamped art as well as other small projects that would be great to incorporate into stamp camps.

I love the idea of the post it note holders, i am on my way to whip up some right now. A tutorial that I would like to see you teach would be…..something on Altoid Tins.
January 17th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial - the supplies are out so I am off to try this now.
I also vote for a tutorial on those awesome explosion boxes/albums!
January 17th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
I love this tutorial! and the layers of all your punches… sigh… makes me think i might “need” them. I do have a cricut that can do some of these cuts… hmmm…
TFS!!
January 17th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
I love your tutorial. This is one I have to try. I would like to make one for my mom definitely. I LOVE tutorials, so any one you come up with i’m sure will be WONDERFUL! Thanks for sharing this one with us, can’t wait to try it! -Samantha

Great tutorial on making these post-it note holders. Thanks so much

Wow this is beautiful! I tried the Diamond fold and it came out very nicely! You explain things so well. I’d love a tutorial on, I think it’s called diamond dust or some such thing. Basically one where glitter is filled in.
Also tutorials on funky cards like the diamond fold would be great!

[...] This is a post-it note holder that I made to match the card. I used the same Fancy Pants paper along with basic black and pretty in pink. The images are the same as the ones listed above. Also stamped in black stazon. I used the mega oval and the giga scalloped oval. It sits on dimensionals over black grosgrain ribbon. There is a tutorial on how to make these here. [...]

Always wanted to know how to make these. Too late for teacher gifts, but tucked away for next year
Would love to know how to make the matching pens and I’ve seen some really cute mailboxes done up which would be fun to learn (will have to take a trip down South to get them first though!) Thanks for all the great info.

It is so difficult to find easily doable & more importantly understandable tutorials for those of us just starting out so thank you for this.
I’m considering ideas as I type.
August 24th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
I loved this simple way of doing the Post It Note cover. I am making 180 of these for my daughters wedding. Mine are a little more complicated in that they are more like a book style cover. A lot of work but beautiful in the long run. I have 100 to go before September 21. Am I having fun yet?? lol

Hi
I love your Post It Holders!!! Thanks for giving me a great item to give as Thank You gifts and also as Adult Loot Bag items for my son’s First birthday.
I would like to see a tutorial on those little 3×3 clip boards, I have bought a few of those and I just don’t know what to do with them.

I’m making some post-it note holders tonight, but my trouble is that so far I’ve made 2 and both of the note pads have fallen off! Not the back sheet, it is glued down securely. but the sheet before that…………..the sticky pulled back. Do you think it’s because I bought the off-brand note pads?
Thanks!

I’d like to see a tutorial with a band aid tin and lots of embellishments.
November 2nd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
I’d like to see a tutorial for those tin cans I purchased from a SCS reader - the cans are round but have the metal thingy on the side - I don’t know how to cover that portion. thanks

[...] My mom asked me to bring 8 post-it note holders for her to use as gifts when I came up this weekend. Since she asked the day before I left - I needed to do them quickly. So I chose this design using GinaK’s Punchy Words stamp - merry & bright. I used 4 different Christmas papers and made 2 of each. You can find my post-it tutorial <here>. [...]

I Love your post it note holder, very easy to understand. I have 50+ chipboard coasters and I’m not sure how or what to do with them. I’d like to do coasters with pictures on em. Or like a flip calender. You make everything look pretty easy to follow.

Great tutorial. Was looking for one for small gifts for co workers. I read all of the comments and want to see all of those tutorials. Would love to see the mail box decorated and know how to do it.
December 17th, 2007 at 8:02 pm
After reading your tutorial and seeing how pretty this turned out, you have inspired me to give it a try. This will make a great gift for all my bunco babes!
Thank you!

Oh my goodness! What a cutsie gift. I love the fact that you can personalize it, and make it to fit whomever. My brother’s girlfriend is so hard to shop for and her birthday is in February. I’d love to attempt one of these! We should send in pictures of finished ones for you to post..
