Wednesday, August 10th, I shopped at Michaels, A C Moore and the Dollar Tree.  Michaels has 70 and 80% off resist papers, the color sprays and washi tapes as well as coloring pages and 12 x 12 framed art that are to be colored for $2.69 that I thought would be great for gifts.  I bought the Koi watercolor set and melt and pour chocolates and bead a lons to thread beads.  

The pen is a PenTel RSVP pen that you get from the Dollar Tree 5 for $1.  I tool off the end of it and took a piece of matching cardstock as long as the ink part of the pen and about 3/4" wide.  
Wrap it around the ink barrel and tape it shut then shove it back into the outer part of the pen and screw the bottom back of the pen.

I cut the paper 1" x 3" and put the pen into the middle and wrapped the paper around it.  Once I knew where the pen ended, I put tear tape and put the pen inside and took the backing off the tear tape and made sure the paper lined up straight and squeezed the two edges of paper together.  Our pen holder is complete.  I put tear tape on both sides of the outside of the pen holder where we will adhere it to the post it note holder.
  I used two pieces of cardstock that were the same color palette but different patterns.  The outside is the length of our post it note pad which is 5" plus the top depth of the post it note which was 3/4" and the back.  So your total length is 10 3/4" and score it at 5" and 5 3/4" on the 10 3/4" length.  Mine was 3" wide and I think you should make your project 3 1/2" wide and center the post it note pad inside.
  The second sheet that is the inside paper is 5" plus 3/4" plus 3" to make it 8 3/4" long score at 5" and 5 3/4".  This piece is a little more narrow than the top piece and it will be 3 1/4" wide.  Put tear tape on the top between the score marks and tear tape on the shorter length on the front and back.  The largest piece should have tear tape on the top between the scores and all over the back on the inside of the paper.
First, adhere the pen holder to the inside of the longest piece of cardstock that should already have tear tape on the front of the bottom half of this paper.  You should have had tear tape on the pen holder as well so you should remove the backing on the bottom piece of the pen holder to adhere it to the big paper.  Once the pen is attached, remove the top piece of covering to the pen's tear tape and take the backing off of the tear tape of the 3" length. Also remove the lining of the tear tape between the score marks on both the longer paper and the back of the paper with the 3" long back piece.  Carefully line the 3" piece up by using your score marks and lay it onto the long piece and on top of the pen holder at the same time.  Press all to hold in place. Put tear tape on the top of the post it note pad and remove the backing and carefully lay it onto the 3" length to cover it.  Now you should have two matching top sheets of paper and then our post it note pad.  I took the other pack of items I bought and there was a small matching post it note pad and some clips.  I put tear tape on the small pad and put it on the inside piece of cardstock and attached the clips that came with it there as well.  I took a long piece of white ribbon to keep it closed and wrapped it around it and made a bow to keep it closed.
