Here’s a quick and easy gift idea – handy Post-it note holders with a holiday theme to carry in purse or pocket. You’ll find complete illustrated directions in the Imagination Gallery at Scor-it.com. Just click on the Project of the Month icon. While you’re there, be sure to browse around the rest of the gallery. You’ll find lots of beautiful paper craft projects to inspire you.
To make the Post-it note holders, all you need are:
- 8 ½ by 11-inch card stock – each sheet makes two note holders (7 3/8 by - 3 1/8-inches before folding)
- 3 by 3-inch Post-it note pads – each pad of 100 makes two note holders
- Graphic design software such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Print Shop or Print Artist
- Scor-it Board or other scoring tool – this is a small project well-suited to the Scor-it Mini
- Scissors or paper cutter
- Thin self-stick Velcro – If the Velcro is too bulky, the note holder won’t close properly.
- Double-sided tape - optional
The ornament stamp and swinging Santa note holder examples pictured here were designed in Photoshop using graphic products by Scrap Girls designers Cheryl Barber, Erica Hite, Diane Miller, Brandy Murry, Melissa Renfro, Shalae Tippetts and Ariadna Wiczling.
BTW, ScrapGirls has a Christmas gift for you. Place an order totaling $10 or more before December 22nd and receive a beautiful collaboration Holiday Collection of digital papers, embellishments and word art. All profits from sales of this collection will be donated to the charity, “Food for the Poor."

This is such a cute idea! You could really make some cute ones! "I love how you did these.
Thank you Shalae. That means a lot coming from you!
[For my other readers: Shalae is one of the designers whose Scrap Girls products I used for this project.
I used one of Shalae's Dynamic Brushes to do the edge stitching on the swinging Santa cover.
Dynamic Brushes are so cool! When used for stitching, it's like the difference between a sewing machine and sewing every stitch by hand. What fun!]
I've never seen the Scor-it site before. thanks for the link and the ideas :-)
Congrats on getting featured!
Cute project. I'm a fan of stickies. I can't rid myself of the habit, but I did buy recycled ones on the last round.
Thanks Peggy. I had to buy some nice ones for the project ;-)
But usually I use the ones offices and businesses give away for advertising.
I also love the roll of sticky paper because you can tear out just the amount you need - no waste!
Hi Eileen:
I love the idea and Craft Project of the Month you did. I would love to make some but I don't have anything like Photo Shop and wouldn't even know how to begin. Maybe I can do it another way. What a great idea, as always!! I am always needing a piece of paper while out and about. I'm sure all my friends would love one too.
I love checking in on your site as there is always so many projects I would like to do.
Keep up the great work in this new year.
Love,
Shaaron
Hi Shaaron,
Thank you. I'm glad you like my Scor-it P.O.M.
Of course it can be done without Photoshop! You could make these from used greeting cards or colored card stock. I've even made a fabric one lined with plastic as a stiffener.
Put on your thinking cap. I want to see a P.O.M. by you at Scor-it in 09!
Thank you for being such a great reader and contributor in 08.
