Pretty little notebook

January 27, 2012 | Filed under: Articles and tagged with: Christmas Gifts, Do it Yourself, gift, home decor, Notebook, ribbon, SarahJ

Hi it’s Bonnie from p i n k b o n b o n s popping in with another Design Team project!!

Today I prettied up a plain notebook…super easy and a complete transformation in just a few minutes!

Supplies needed:

  • Sarah Jones – Smitten
  • Plain Notebook
  • Ribbon
  • Punches
  • Adhesive, foam dimensional
  • pads
  • Sentiment Stamp – I used Take Note from Papertrey Ink.

1. Gather your supplies and print out papers and elements in your software. I used Photoshop Elements for mine.

2. Cover front of notebook with adhesive. I used double sided sticky tape.

3. Lay paper over the sticky tape to adhere.

4. Trim around patterned paper with scissors or craft knife.

5. Trim more patterned paper and cut ends so it look like ribbon. Then adhere to the front of the notebook.

6. Trim and add pretty ribbons.

7. Punch out 2 scallops using a 2.5″ scalloped punch and punch out element with a 2″ circle punch.

8. Using a small hole punch, punch out holes around the scallop circle, then lay pink scallop onto black scallop and adhere.

9. Stamp sentiment onto punched circle element and adhere to the front of the notebook with foam squares.

There you have it!!  What a transformation of what was once a very plain notebook!!

Here is the digital kit I used.

Have a great day!

Hugs, Bonnie ;) x

    The paper pad is adorable! I’m new to paper crafting and really appreciate ideas like this with a tutorial. I wouldn’t have thought to use a paper punch to jazz up the scalloped circle–great idea! The Smitten kit is so sweet and will be great for lots of projects. I am visiting my 93 yr. old grandma today and she is always misplacing her note pad. This will be a perfect little gift for her. Thanks for sharing your creativity and teaching me something new. I really appreciate the time taken to share this project.

    I really like your decorated note pad. I love that kind of paper pad for grocery lists but haven’t seen that size. Would you mind letting us know where you bought the paper pad also? Great tutorial! Thanks.
