Hi everyone, I love 3D projects. They are actually my passion. Don’t get me wrong, I love making cards, but 3D projects are just so much more fun! So this easel post it note holder is a fun project that I make tons of every year. This is one of my best sellers during my craft fairs. They are great for teacher, coach, PTA, co-worker, secret Santa, you name it gifts!
The cool thing about this project is that it takes 1 whole piece of cardstock with very little waste. And the DSP you choose to use are such small pieces, you can use up scraps.

I did want to explain something about the Bermuda Bay and Pool Party Blends. Using the two different colors as a pair for shading instead of both of the same color gave me a unique shade between light and dark Pool Party and light and dark Bermuda Bay. These blends are close enough in color that you can use them together and get a nice blended color. If you see colors close to each other, you can use them together to get your own unique blend of colors. Try it, you may find you like it!
