Quick little gifts for the stocking or hostess with Graphic 45

 Aren't these just the cutest little things?   They are Post-it note pad folios all dressed up with Graphic 45's new Nature Sketchbook collection.  I think this collection is my new favorite!  Oh the images are just so pretty and the colors so rich.

Follow along with my Snapguide tutorial to make these pretty folios.  They are quick and sure to please the recipients.

Check out How to Make a Post-It Note Folio by Maggi HARDING on Snapguide.

The covers are a snap when you use an ephemera card or a cut-apart.

 Then, just add some flowers and leaves. This collection includes punch out flowers too!  I am so thrilled to see the flowers back in the Graphic 45 collections.  I just layered several flowers together to give my flowers dimension.  I also used some diecut leaves that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die.

The inside is quickly finished with another cut-apart, some paper strips and letters.  I used a little magnet set to keep the folio closed.

 I used a 4" x 6" Post-it notepad.  You could easily adapt this for a different size pad.

 On this pad, I used a smaller cut-apart and some beautiful Petaloo blooms.   Tie some jute or a ribbon around the folio for an even prettier presentation.

Under the flowers, there's some foliage that I diecut with a Sizzix die. 

 One of the papers in the collection has beautiful border strips that make trimming up the inside so easy.  Here I've use 2 of the border strips, a cut-apart and a layer of paper to finish the inside.

This cover is simply a 4" x 6" cut-apart embellished with flowers.

A fussy cut butterfly, a Graphic 45 paper flower,  and a couple of Petaloos adorn this cover.  These images are sooo pretty, they really don't need much embellishing!
