Gift Set for my Aunt

Awhile ago I posted a patterned paper calendar I made for my Aunt. The calendar is here. I realized that I never posted on my blog the rest of the set that I made for her. So I thought I would share it with you today. :) 

I made her a coordinating set of goodies for her to keep on her desk.


It included a PTI notebook and RSVP pen with matching paper.




And a set of magnets. 


Using a circle punch, I punched out some circles and attached them to epoxy circles. Then I glued these epoxy stickers to strong earth magnets. I needed a way to secure them, so I attached the mini magnets to a long magnet strip and glued that to a bookmark diecut. It kept everything in place so they didn't go sliding around.

Here's the whole set! :)


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great sunny day! :)

ETA: I was emailed a few questions so thought I'd add some details about how I made some of this! The basic dimensions for the notebook and RSVP pen are on Kim's blog here. I bought the magnets from this ebay seller here and attached them with E-6000 glue. HTH!

What a great set, Monica. I bet your aunt loved it! (I know lots of women in my family that would have!) I scrolled down a bit, too... great idea to use the little lunchbox note die for personalized thank yous to stick in your etsy packages. I hope to put an etsy shop together soon and may have to copy your idea :) ... thanks for sharing!
