Paper scraps often come in handy when creating a fun little gift or dressing up a boring household item. Today Designer Holly Gagnon is sharing a fun take on using paper scraps to create cute pencil toppers.

I was happy to see my monthly Pebbles assignment was to create a project using scraps from any Pebbles collection.  Like most of us papercrafters, I have a lot of scraps. Can’t throw them out. What if I need that one little piece?

Paper Scrap Pencil Toppers
Using my scraps from the Pebbles From Me to You collection, I put my beloved scraps to use and made a simple pencil topper gift set.

The pennant toppers are cut at 4 x 1  inches and I ran them through the Xyron for a strong hold.

Each pencil topper is embellished with From Me to You stickers and candy dots.

I then stuck the pencils in to a small glass jar filled with sea glass and embellished it with some more From Me to You stickers and Candy Dots.

This is how I made my Post It Note holders, but size may vary depending on how many notepads you stick inside.

To embellish the outside of the note holders, I used my Xyron Creative Station to apply adhesive onto patterned paper and chipboard then adhered them on to the front of the note holders.

To adhere the ribbon on to the back of the note holders, I used Xyron Double Sided tape.

Everyone loves a little sparkle.  The Xyron double sided tape works great to adhere glitter on to projects too.

With the Thanksgiving break right around the corner, we’re starting to “wrap up” our handmade card posts so that we can move on to gift giving.

Handmade Christmas CardsToday Design Team Member Holly Gagnon, from Ribbons & Glue, is sharing a couple of cards using our From Me to You and Front Porch everyday lines.

Handmade Christmas Cards

I love the feel of rustic Christmas decor. You can find the cozy elements of pine cones, tree branches and birdhouses around my house during the Holidays. The Christmas cards I’m sharing today reflect this cozy, rustic feel of Christmas I love.

After you punch holes through your scored tree, feed a small tree branch through the holes and adhere tree on to the front of your card.
