Desk Note pad / Card holder

This cute little notepad/card holder is one of the projects from the upcoming class this week. I made some of these when school started for my daughters teachers. You can see those ones here.   

These can hold cut up printer paper to use on your desk as scratch paper, or they hold a nice set of cards and make a great gift. 

I will be posting a tutorial on my blog when I get it finished. Yes, I said that last time, but I remembered to take pictures in progress of this one so it should be up within a week.


The cute little "notes" stamp is from one of the previous My Paper Pumpkin kits. Every month MPP has exclusive stamps in it that are not available anywhere else. There is a really great deal on the MPP subscription right now. Get a set of SU In Color Markers FREE when you sign up as a new My Paper Pumpkin Subscriber. The kits are also getting bigger starting in February so the value is even better!

July My Paper Pumpkin Kit

The My paper pumpkin kit for July arrived Tuesday! It is fun to get something in the mail each month and not know what it is! For the most part I never get anything that I do not already know is coming. Even for Christmas and my birthday do I rarely get a surprise so these are really nice. It's like a Christmas present every month! 

They arrive in pretty orange boxes and this beautiful pool party tissue paper. 

 This months kit is a banner kit! It is adorable! 

You get your picture with directions on how to assemble the kit, 

and all the contents! This one has 2 ink spots! Summer starfruit and pool party, tiny little clothespins, skewers, die cut banners, foam dimensionals, and 3 stamps! This has been the best kit yet I think! 

I really like these stamps. It is nice to have stamps to give a background to different things. 

Now to just figure out what I am going to do with this set. If I had not already had my catalog kick off party I would have used it on my table setting. No birthday's coming up in the family for the near future so I will just have to find something else to use it for.
