Here are the instructions on how to make the 5 X 7 Replaceable notepad holders. Be sure to leave me a comment!

Supplies:

8-1/4 X 12 Cardstock, score at 4-1/8, 4-3/8, 9-3/8, 9-5/8; Cut center piece from side to side at 1-1/2 from top and 3” from top.

8 X 3-3/4 Black Cardstock

7-3/4 X 3-1/2 Designer Series Paper

8 X 2 Black Cardstock

7-3/4 X 1-3/4 Designer Series Paper

5 X 1-3/4 – Designer Series Paper (to wrap around top of note pad)

Backing:

4-7/8 X 1-1/4 – Chipboard (I used cardboard from our DSP)

4-7/8 X 1-1/2 – DSP to cover chipboard

4-7/8 X 4-3/4 – Chipboard

4-7/8 X 5 – DSP to cover chipboard

Belly Band:

12 X 1-1/2 cardstock; score at 3, 3-1/4, 8-3/8, 8-5/8

4-3/4 X 1-1/4 Cardstock

4-1/2 X 1 – DSP


Step 1: Adhere 4-7/8 X 1-1/4 chipboard piece to center top of 12 X 8-1/4 piece of cardstock.

Step 2. Adhere 4-7/8 X 1-1/2 piece of DSP over chipboard.

Step 3. Adhere 4-7/8 X 4-3/4 chipboard piece to center bottom of 12 X 8-1/4 piece of cardstock.

Step 4: Adhere 5 X 4-7/8 DSP over chipboard piece.

Step 5: Adhere 5 X 1-3/4 strip of DSP to 5 X 7 Notepad covering the store label.

Step 6: Front Left panel, adhere 8 X 3-3/4 cardstock to left side.

Step 7: Adhere DSP measuring 7-3/4 X 3-1/2 to cardstock.

Step 8: Front Right panel, adhere 8 X 2 cardstock to right front panel.

Step 9: Adhere 7-3/4 X 1-3/4 DSP to cardstock on right front panel.

Step 10: Gently slide 5 X 7 Notepad into the slot in the center section.

Step 11: Belly Band – reinforce all score lines. When wrapping band around the completed notepad holder, it is easier to do with the note pad in it. I also placed the seam on the front so I can cover with the large embellishment.

Step 12: Adhere cardstock 4-3/4 X 1-1/4 to the front of the belly band.

Step 13: Adhere DSP 4-1/2 X 1 to the cardstock on the belly band.

Step 14: Stamp/Embellish the belly band.

Happy Crafting!
