Hi everyone! I’m back with a quick easy project I created. I decorated the cover of a store bought notepad using an assortment dies and embossing folder by Eileen Hull. So let’s get started!
Confession time! I have a problem picking up notepads when I’m out shopping. I have a mass collection of notepads in different sizes and styles. It’s to the point that if I have to give a gift a notepad is added to their gift. Anyways, I dug into my stash and decided to use this 4″X 6″ notepad to decorate.
I cut a piece of elastic three inches long. I adhered one side of the elastic to the back of the notepad. I wrapped the other side of the elastic around an ink pen. I removed the ink pen before gluing on top of the other side of the elastic.
I cut to fit a piece of pink cardstock and glued to the back of the notepad.
I cut to fit another piece of pink cardstock and adhered to the front. I cut a bookmark from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits. I embossed with the Floral Damask A5 Embossing Folder and applied Gold Luster Wax over the raised areas. I then adhered to the cover.
I cut a journaling card, bird and Parfum bottles from the Rose Parfum Collection (Discontinued). I cut two mats, each slightly larger than the other. I glued the journaling card and mats on top of each other before gluing to the cover.
I cut the “notes” die out from the Floral Pocket and Paperclips Thinlits. I cut a mat slightly larger than the die and lightly inked with Brown Chalk Ink. I glued both onto the cover. I finished by adhering Parfum bottles, a bird and Gold Gems to the cover.
There’s so many ways you can decorate these notepad. Add an initial, name and nice ink pen and poof you have a nice personalized gift.
