Easy 3D Project

Here is an easy, fast, and fun 3D project that makes a great small gift. I found this small composition book at Walmart in the office section for less than a dollar. I'm not usually a 3D project kindof girl but wanted to force myself out of my comfort zone and this little book just screamed "Give me some Pizazz!" I took pity on it and brought it home to my Saucy Stampin' Project Zone (aka my craft table in the kitchen!!).

 

I measured my little book and cut some happy Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper a half inch larger on all sides. Using Sticky Strip placed on the edge of the notebook's cover (so it was folded over the edge with some on both the inside and outside of the cover) I attached my paper to the book. I trimmed the ends on the top and bottom so it just barely overlaps the top and bottom of the book cover. I then again used Sticky Strip to attach my ribbon. Originally the ribbon was just to be decoration but then I realised it would make a good page marker so I left a long end you can use as a bookmark.

 

I took the small flower from Bella's Bloom and stamped it in Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango on Whisper White Cardstock to make a background design. I then inked up only the "Happy" from the Teeny Tiny Wishes "Happy New Year" stamp and stamped it in Dusty Durango and snipped it out with Paper Snips. Dusty Durango mats completed the look and it was attached to my cover. (I really wanted to attach it with Stampin' Dimensionals but I plan on keeping this little beauty in my purse for notes and figured the dimensionals would make it catch on other things.)
