Note Holder

Here’s a fun note holder I found as a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers and converted it into Studio and SVG cutting files.  It’s so cute, and only takes a single piece of letter-size paper for the box itself.  It’s just a touch bigger than 3.5″ square when assembled.

Supplies:
Pebbles Inc. “Seen & Noted” paper (1 page Howdy)
Copy paper (15-20 pages)
Stamp: Clear stamp by Studio G
Ribbon by Maya Road (less than 12″)
Button
Baker’s Twine
Scor-Tape (1/2” width)
Stamp pad in coordinating color
Hot glue

If you want to make this yourself, take a look at the Split Coast Stampers Tutorial here (I’m not going to re-write all the same steps).  You can go through their process with a trimmer and Scor-Pal, but if you have a digital cutter you can download my file that uses their measurements.  I even made a PDF file so you can print it and cut it with scissors if you don’t have a cutter.

The note cards with rounded corners are included in the cutting files (not the PDF), and I had to cut 18 pages (6 squares per page) of 20-lb. printer paper to make the box look full enough.  Fortunately, I was able to cut these on a speed of 10 with my Cameo (blade 1, thickness 15) so it didn’t take forever.  I also went back to an old mat that was barely sticky so the lightweight pages wouldn’t curl.

I stamped the “make a note” sentiment from Studio g on all of the notecards while sitting in front of a nice, cozy fire, so that didn’t seem to take much effort at all. 🙂  The ribbon is attached to the box inside with Scrappy Tape (like Scor-Tape), and the button is glued to the ribbon with hot glue.  As mentioned in the SCS tutorial, this acts as both a weight and as a lever for pulling out the note cards.

If you have any questions about this project, please let me know, and I hope the files I made are helpful to you!
