Amazing You Colour Theory Notepads

Today, I wanted to show you a beautiful covered notepad project using the free Amazing You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set.

These ones here are a few I made to go out to my VIP customers who shop with me using the Host Code.

I LOVE the colour palette of the "Color Theory" Designer Series Paper stack. So when I saw those gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Tutti-frutti Sequins, I  knew I wanted to try them out together.

While I've used this design as notepad covers, these would also make a fantastic set of notecards!

Note the gorgeous Clear Wink of Stella which I used on the words, flower and a few of the leaves. It's hard to pick up in photographs, but looks amazing in person. And of course - sequins!

The notepads are from my local stationery store and measure 7.5cm x 12cm.

(The principle is to simply mat your notepad. The main cardstock cover needs to be the exact width of your notepad. The length should add an extra couple of cm to stick on the back of the notepad.

Example:
Notepad = 7.5cm(wide)  x 12cm (long)
Cardstock cover = 7.5cm x 15cm

Once you have a cardstock cover, you can decorate any way you like. That's it!

Instructions:

Notepad Cover Materials:

Cardstock cover - 14.85cm x 7.5cm
(The 14.85cm measurement is so you can use an A4 sheet of cardstock)

Designer Series Paper - 11.5cm x 7cm

Whisper White Cardstock Panel - 9cm x 6cm

You will have enough scrap cardstock from your leftover pieces for the extra scallop punch sentiment!

Happy Crafting!

Tutti-Frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins and Sequin love!

Now, I love sequins. What's not to love?! They're beautifully colourful and sparkly and add instant embellishment and dimension to your project.

Sequins are also a great value embellishment, as you always get loads in a pack, stretching your craft budget even further.

What I don't love about sequins is gluing them. They can be fiddly at times and I usually end up with more glue on my fingers than the sequins.

Enter - Adhesive Backed sequins! Ta-Da!

(applause)

These are one of my favourite accessories in the new Occasions Catalogue.

Each sequin is individually adhered with its own pre-attached mini-glue dot.

There are 250 sequins in each pack - 50 in each of the 5 gorgeous jewel colours.

When you calculate the cost of buying your own glue dots, then work out how long it would take you to adhere 250 sequins one by one to each glue dot, I think these are fantastic value!

They come in five beautiful, bright colours that co-ordinate with not only the Tutti-Frutti suite, but so many others.

Sneek peek at tomorrow's project using the Tutti-Frutti Sequins.

Tomorrow's project uses both the Adhesive Backed sequins and the loose Metallic and Iridescent sequins. I love both types of sequins and loose ones are great for multiple projects such as shaker cards, however for this project, the adhesive-backed ones were a big time saver!

I still love sequins though...

Here is a full list of the gorgeous sequin products Stampin' Up! has currently available.
