Note Pad holders using DSP

Good evening. Today I worked on Valentine’s with my great granddaughter using the January Paper Pumpkin. They are very cute and we’re fun to make. The next Paper Pumpkin will be shipping February 10th. Be sure to subscribe by February 10th if you are planning on getting it.
The above picture is one of the NotePad holders I made for an upcoming craft fair. I used the Botanical Butterfly DSP I got free(from the Sale-A-Bration catalog) for ordering 50$ of product. This is beautiful paper.
Materials used:
Cardstock 11x 81/2 use color that goes with DSP used
DSP (designer series paper)
Ribbon 15 inches

Directions:

1. Cut the cardstock on the 11 inch side at 51/4(you get 2 holders out of one piece of paper)
Score @ 4&41/2
2. Cut a piece of ribbon 15 inches glue to outside of cardstock
3. Cut two pieces of DSP for inside pockets @ 4x4(just a tad shorter than this to fit better) glue these to inside putting glue on 3 sides.


4. Cut two pieces of DSP 5x 3 3/4 inches for the front and back covers. Glue these on top of ribbon.
5. Put note paper in pockets. I get them from Dollar Tree. There are 5/ pack. I cut a little of the card stock backing . This makes it easier to put in the pocket.
6. Tie shut
You can find the DSP and other materials (except the note pads) in the Annual catalog ,Occasions catalog or the sale-a-bration catalog (with qualifying order of 50 or more). You can order from my
website. Remember to use the host code GVDWAAEM.
