Alphabet a la Mode Personalized Notebooks

Last week I shared some little boxes I made for an all-day working session I hosted for my team at work using the Tricks & Treats Dies (you can see that post here). I tucked little chocolates inside the boxes and set them around the room to greet my team members when they came into the room. They aren’t stampers (they are accountants), so it was easy to impress them. 🙂

The night before the meeting, I decided to add each team member’s first initial to a little kraft notebook I had left over from another project. I matched each letter with the color of the coordinating box. Here’s a look at three of the notebooks and coordinating boxes:

Here’s a look at the must-have Alphabet a la Mode Dies:

I love these things! If you’ve never used them before, you should give them a try! Here’s a look at the Adhesive Sheets:

Adhesive Sheets, Stampin Up! 152334One side of each Adhesive Sheet is filled with tiny, tiny dots of glue to give you full coverage on intricate dies. Here’s a quick summary of how to use the Adhesive Sheets:

  • Cut a piece of cardstock to die-cut size (e.g., just a little bigger than the die you want to cut).
  • Cut a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the same size.
  • Peal off one side of the Adhesive Sheet you just cut and stick the cardstock to the sticky side of the sheet.
  • Run the cardstock/adhesive combo through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with a die (the cardstock facing up and adhesive side facing down).
  • Remove the die-cut piece and poke out leftover pieces.
  • Carefully peal off the Adhesive Sheet backing that remains.
  • Stick the die cut-out on your project.

I use my tweezers to handle the die-cut pieces with Adhesive Sheet backings to ensure I get proper placement.

  2. Suzanne Patt Cullen

    These are so “cool”, Brian! But then, you are, most likely, the best boss there! ⭐️ 💫 ⭐️

  3. The little notebooks are a very nice addition to the box of candies. Love this alphabet font and size and it includes numbers. Enjoy your day!

  4. Okay ! I am liking the INITIAL idea ! That is fun and easy ! Now I know why I need these dies .
    Agree with Suzie on you being a super boss !!

  5. Not “just accountants” are impressed with your talent and creativity. We stampers are, too. And as Suzanne said, you are likely the best boss in town! TFS

  6. These are adorable!

  7. I want to come work w/ you! I’m not bad w/ numbers and I love to stamp- we’d be great co-workers!

    I actually just used those dies on bags I had for my class participants at a stamp session yesterday (the focal decoration on the bag was made using the Earthen Elegance bundle), but I added each person’s name at the bottom using the Alphabet a la mode dies.

    And I 1000% agree w/ using the adhesive sheets! Before Stampin Up had then, I tried a few other brands and wasn’t always sold on them, but the backing peels so much easier and they are easier to cut to size using Stampin Up’s.

    Thanks for sharing!

  8. Love the boxes…great idea!

  9. Brian,

    I love your project! I will be making the box and notebook for a gathering that I’ve planned. They are very “classy “. Thank you!
