A couple weeks ago, I had a 3-days-in-a-row class event where I offered up 12 different giftable projects fofr them to choose from and make. This cutie-patootie Post-It Desk Top holder was one of the projects.

Using a 6 x 4 acrylic frame from Wal Mart (only $1), I cut a sheet of Designer paper  and then stamped the swing girl from the A Kind Word stamp set on Naturals White card stock with Stazon Black ink. Using an Aqua Painter, I then watercolored her with Ballet Blue, Old Olive, Creamy Caramel, Summer Sun and Blush Blossom Watercolor Crayons, layered it on a Ballet Blue piece of card stock and then adhered it to the Designer Paper piece. I slid this piece into the frame, wrapped the Ballet Blue 5/8" grosgrain ribbon around it and tied a bow.Finally, I stuck the 3×3 Post It note to the top of the frame so it would lay flat to be able to write on it.

This was so easy and took less than a half hour and the materials to make it are so affordable. Great teacher gift, stocking stuffer or token of friendship!

This next gift was copied almost exactly from the Holiday Mini catalog. Of course, I had to use different paper (Merry Moments) but other than that–it is a direct copy. It was a very quick project using the Scallop Edge border punch, Scallop Oval punch, wide oval punch and 1/4" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and the Sleigh Bells cotton ribbon from the Holiday Mini. This is perfect for keeping track of your holiday cards, card addresses or for a mini photo album. The possibilities are endless!

There’s more of these projects to come so stay tuned for some more great nifty gifty ideas!
