Shape Up Your Sticky Notes

The flowers above were made with basic square sticky notes from the office supply store. I got the idea from some standing dog shaped sticky notes I saw at Kinokuniya. It was obvious they were just folded sticky notes so it got me thinking about what else I could create with the concept. Below are a few ideas of what I came up with along with some simple instructions.

Supplies:
Sticky note pads
Die-cuts
Stamps
Scissors

To make the sticky notes in the top picture, slide one sticky note paper in the die cut. Turn the die-cut over to make sure the bottom of the image overlaps on the sticky part. Punch out. Make a ninety degree fold and stick to any surface.

Here I just punched out a shape from one sticky note and added a second sticky note behind it.

Save the date.

Dress up a treat.
Other ideas:

Place sticky notes on top of a gift in replace of the standard gift tag.

Use as a fun, easy place card holder.

I love sticky notes! I don't have any die cuts, but this weekend I was snipping out Xmas trees and using the page marker post its to create stars/snowflakes for use as impromptu gift tags on a belated Xmas gift.

I really like the layered one with the cut out. It would be perfect for those times when you're in desperate need of a gift tag.

lovely idea, is this picture taken at your round shape window? I love your round glass window.

Jessica,

I took it on top of my hope chest. The detailing of the chest probably looks like the window trim.
