Welcome back! Today we are going to finish the notepad we started making yesterday. If you missed that post, look here. To begin today:
1. Cut a 3x3 piece of Glitterati. Distress the edges. I used my Bind-it-All to make a notebook edge.
2. Stamp sentiment onto your 3x3 piece using the Memory Box Just a Note {B1053} stamp. I used black ink and embossed in clear embossing powder.
3. Attach to the front of you notepad piece we made yesterday out of the Biscotti paper.
4. Cut a 5" piece of ribbon, and using Glue Dots, attach to the bottom segment of your notepad. Wrap edges around the back of the bottom segment.
5. Place your scrap paper down into the bottom segment of your notepad.
6. Use your Crop-a-Dile to punch two holes completely through the ribbon, bottom section, and scrap paper. You will insert your brads through these two holes. This is what will hold the scrap paper in your notepad. They are also easy to remove when refilling your notepad.
7. The back should look like this. I like to use larger brads so that the prongs are nice and long and can hold a larger amount of paper if I wish.
8. Now finish decorating the front. When you are done, tuck the longer top flap into the bottom section just like a matchbook, and you are finished!
