Stationary sets~

Hey Ladies!
I love the Stationary Sets on this site! I would like to make some for gifts! Can someone please tell me where I can find the supplies for this! I can't seem to find blank office supplies anywhere! I know Stampin' Up! has the cube, but beyond that....
Thanks!

For stationary, I buy plain white copy paper at Wal Mart and cut the sheets in half with my paper trimmer. But, you can also get nice parchment paper at Office supply stores, etc.

Dawn,
Go to that wonderful Walmart store by you. They have everything in that place.
I have been there & looked around.
You can just use typing paper & cut it in half. That's what I do.
Have a great day!

Thanks ladies!! That is simple enough! If I can't do that then I'm a complete moron!!! Any ideas on the other items such as pens, notebooks etc.?

Here an idea

I went to the dollar tree and they have package of 8 note pads for $1. That could work also. They also have composition books for $1 but sometimes you can find those cheaper at Wal-Mart when they are on sale.

I have seen the composition books, but how do you decorate the outside if it has writing on them? I hate to sound like a moron, but I have never seen this done and would love to try it? Can some one explain how to create these?

For the composition notebooks, you can cover it with cardstock (which you would stamp). This works really well (and appears "seamless") when you run the paper through a Xyron machine and then adhere it to the notebook. Another neat thing to do is to cover the binding, which is usually covered by that black part, for lack of technical terms, with the SU! velveteen paper. Very cute. Vanilla cardstock with the blue or red velveteen paper is very classy. Hope this helps a little....

Hallmark stores have blank stationary sets, if don't mind the dry embossed emblem on the flap of the envelope.
