Skinny Notepad Tutorial

These skinny notepads are inexpensive and easy to make and they make nice gifts.  I get these skinny notepads from Papertrey ink.  They cost $6 for a pack of 10. Each pad has 25 sheets.  Here is what you will need to make these:

 
- 5 11/16" x 8 1/4" piece of 
  card stock
-  2 5/8" x 8" piece of 
   designer paper
-  1 3/4" x 3 1/2" piece of
   designer paper
- Papertrey Ink's  
    Take Note stamp set
- 2" scallop circle punch
- 1 3/4" circle punch
- corner rounder
- dimensional adhesive
- ribbon
- skinny notepad
- Pentel R.S.V.P. pen
- adhesive

Score your 5 11/16" x8 8 1/4" card stock at 2 3/4" and 2 15/16"

Fold on the scored lines and then round the corners of your notepad holder

as well as two corners on your 2 5/8" x 8" piece of designer paper. 

I used my corner chomper.

Add adhesive to the back of your notepad.  I used my ATG gun. 

Adhere the notepad right along the 2nd score line of your notepad holder.

 Adhere the 2 5/8" x 8" piece of designer paper to the outside flap. 

Stamp a sentiment from the Take Note Stamp set and punch it out

with a 1 3/4" circle punch.  Adhere that to a 2" scallop circle. 

Adhere to notepad cover with dimensionals. 

Tie a bow with coordinating ribbon around the notepad holder.

Tightly roll the 1 3/4" x 3 1/2" piece of card stock around the ink

and put the ink back into the barrel of the pen.

Tuck the pen under the ribbon to complete!
