While at Staples this weekend, I found these cut little mini legal pads. I remembered seeing a video of someone covering them to make cute teacher gifts. I decided to give it a try.
I gathered up my supplies. I used Baked Brown Sugar, Cherry Cobbler, and Gumball Green Ink. The papers are Gumball Green, Whisper White, and Seasons of Style DSP Stack. I used the Holiday Ornament Framelits and Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set with my Big Shot. Some Whisper White Bakers Twine, Snail Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin' Dimensionals rounded it out.
I cut my papers to size, 3 1/2 inches wide. The Gumball Green I left at 11 inches. The Seasons of Style, I trimmed to 2 inches long. (I ended up cutting some of the Gumball Green from the bottom of the back.)
I lined up the Gumball Green and adhered it to the font page of the mini legal pad and wrapped it all the way around the back.
I stamped the smaller ornaments and cut them out with the big shot and framelits.
I tied small bows with the bakers twine and used mini glue dots to attach them. I cut some bakers twine to attach to the backs of the ornaments and attached them with glue dots. Then I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the backs.
I ran a line of Snail adhesive across the top of the pad to attach the strings to hold them in place.
I adhered the Seasons of Style DSPS piece to the top and wrapped it around to the back.
I thought it needed something else so I pulled out my Christmas Messages Stamp Set and used the Oh What Fun sentiment.
I love the way it turned out.
