Sizzix Post-it Memo Holder with Meljen's Party Time Cat

This happy-dancing, balloon-carrying, horn-blowing kitty, called Party Time Cat, was designed by Meljen's Designs' owner/artist Melissa Jenkins.  You can find this fun-loving digital image at the Meljen's online shop here.

I've printed Party Time Cat three times with the intention of paper piecing him for a lovely paper-toile effect.

This pic shows a closer view of my Copic-filled image.

I adhered My Little Shoebox Just Add Butter - Bite Size cupcakes double-sided patterned papers over both sides of a piece of chipboard from the back of a paper pack then die cut it using the Sizzix Scoreboards Bigz Memo Holder die.

 

 

 

Here's a view of the front of my completed Post-it Memo Holder showing my use of Party Time Cat with a celebrate everyday theme.  I've attached a Tim Holtz idea-ology hitch fastener to act as a pull knob for opening.  A Darice golden jingle bell hangs from an eyelet with a jump ring.  A Doodlebug Design's braddies cuppy cakes brad with prongs cut off provides a perfectly sized jewel-topped accent.  A sentiment from a Kraftin' Kimmie Yvette stamp set provides the perfect sentiment to support my layered Party Time Cat image.  I've used the chisel tip of my Copic E57 over 3/8" white grosgrain ribbon to coordinate the handle.

You can see from this view of the back why a pattern without a right-side up or upside-down would make a better choice for use with this die cut memo holder.  I'll be more careful when selecting my patterns the next time I make one of these post-it holders.

 

I've used fabri-tac to adhere two 1/4" ribbon rolls to the top to secure a removable golf pencil.  First, I rolled two pieces of ribbon tightly around my pencil barrel and secured the ribbon ends with a small amount of fabri-tac.  When the ribbon rolls dried and while still around the pencil barrel, I added more fabri-tac to the back of the ribbon rolls to adhere them to the inside of the memo holder.  The pencil easily moves in and out of the rolls.
