making a list...checking it twice!

Happy Monday Stampers! I have a fun little project for you today to help make your Christmas list making just a little more fun...plus these make great little gifts! I have made these in the past for craft bazaars and a couple of years ago we made one for a Christmas event I hosted. They are always a hit! If you'd like come on by to visit my blog for more fun ideas, you can find me at Stuck on Stampin'
I bought a package of these list pads from Staples. They started out as 5" x 8".

For a small fee, Staples will cut these pads in half to make two smaller list pads. They will do half of the stack at a time (I think it comes as a pack of 12).
 

Magnetic List Pad 

Using SNAIL adhesive, adhere the two pieces of cardstock together.
 

Place a piece of Sticky Strip on top of the list pad.

Place the piece of DSP on the Sticky Strip piece and then fold over the top to the back.

After wrapping the top with ribbon, place three pieces of Sticky Strip on the back of the pad. 

And adhere to the pieces of cardstock and embellish!


 Covered List Pad

Crease on the score lines.

Wrap a piece of DSP over the top of the list pad. Place Sticky Strip on the back.

Adhere to the inside of the cardstock piece.

Embellish and tie with a bow.

Might be hard to see, but I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to Santa's outfit.

    These are stinkin' cute!! I LOVE the idea, and your directions are AWESOME!! I do have one question ... are the pads you start out with really only 5" x8"? They look larger. I just want to make sure I buy the correct size!!

    Thanks for any help you can provide and for the inspiration!!

    1. Hi Judy, I sent you an email, as well, in case you didn't see this reply. But, yes...the pads started out as 5x8. Once cut, they are 2.5 x 8. Hope you have fun making these for the holidays!! Thanks for the sweet comment and for stopping by our blog!
