I love these Notepad Covers and that they are reusable.......not to mention that it is wonderful way to use up a full 12 x 12 sheet of discontinued dsp! TFS
I agree with BOTH of those points!! ❤
I like the way you explained everything. Can't wait to try this.
I'm glad you found it helpful. Happy crafting!!
Really appreciate your clear directions, at a pace I can follow & take notes! Thank you
Glad to hear it, thanks so much for your feedback!
Love this design. I'm going to make some for prayer journals for the ladies at church.
How nice, I'm sure they will love them ❤
That is a great idea!!!
I'm interested in learning how to make journals. I hope to learn all I can.😊
❤❤❤
I watched your videos a few times and decided to try this…after seeing others that used 8.5 x 11 paper and I just couldn’t get it to fit my paper pads! Yours works so well. I have years and years of SU DSP that I never finished using. They’re all cute papers but just not current. So I sat down yesterday and got started! I love the way they turned out. I’ve made 6 so far..
Quick and easy! Thanks so much for this!
Oh I'm so glad it's working out for you! Once you get the hang of it, you can make several in quick succession! Enjoy❤❤❤
You're so honest. I talk to myself when crafting and this feels like im doing the project too
Aw, thank you for the lovely comment ❤❤❤
What a simple but cute project! Can't wait to make some.
I'd over to see how you get on. Happy crafting!
Love this !!! Would love to see a 3x 5 made the same way!! If someone has figured out the same way to make this for a 3x5 and the measurements please reach out to me
I am SO SO happy & relieved to know that I am not the only crafter that does not know how to cut! 😂
99% of my cuts have a curve at the end ..no matter the scissors I use.
Thank you so much for sharing this simple, yet perfect notebook! It’s exactly what I was looking for to add as inserts in my Christmas folios.new subbie 😃
Oh yes, my eyes are really bad! I constantly switch back from my readers to progressives.
I’ve learned to just have patience
😀
Yay, I'm not alone in my struggles!!!
Love the simplicity! Will try it.
Thanks! Happy crafting ❤
I just bought that board too, and I love it! My other ones don’t compare! Easy products like these are great!
Aren't they though! I'm a firm believer in having g the right tool for a project!
how lovely
Thank you ❤
Absolutely love your detailed directions. Thank you
Thanks so much!
Great job ! Can’t wait to try it

Thank you so much! Just found this today and I've already made 4 of them. The directions were easy to follow and "on my level" as a beginner. Thanks for sharing! 💛

really really nice. I'd love to see a tutorial on making one with the magnet closure that you shared.
Not a bad idea, thank you for your suggestion!
I love these! I think I’ll make some! Little tip on the corner rounder punch…hold it in one hand and the paper in your other hand then punch. 😀❤️

Laminated
Thanks, Celia! I wish I had come up with it on my own, but did add my touches. 😉 They are so cute. If you make them, please share, I'd love to see!!
The Artful Addict - I’m still working on them & am looking for a way to add an enclosure or strap band ... like a hair band ... I’ll post to my Instagram account when I’m done @ CeliasCustomCreation
The Artful Addict - okay I finally figured out the band! Had to run to Walmart for hair bands & more laminating sheets. I tagged you ... ❤️ #CeliasCustomCreation
@@pebblebunnyful I made a small cover for sticky notes and used a hair band for a closure. Can't wait to see it!
I absolutely love it it's beautiful
Thank you!! ❣
Thanks for this vid; been wanting to make some 😉👍🏼

Oh great! Once you get the process down, you can get in a flow and make several in a short amount of time!!
I am going to give this a try! Thanks for sharing
Great! Just take the first one slowly and follow the tutorial. Once you get the hang of the steps you'll be able to knock several out quickly!
Thank you for sharing.😀😀
This is awesome. Thank you
Thank you, they don't take very long to make, either! Enjoy!

Hi Gina! Absolutely fabulous video. I just love Amber and have been watching her forever. I'm a new subscriber from Kentucky. I'll be making a bunch of these for a show in 2 weeks. Going to watch more of your videos. Love your closure ideas.
That's great, thank you so much!

2:45 she finally gets around to it
I'm sorry, did I take too long?
Just Magnificently Beautiful&Creative📚📖📐✂️💜
Aww, how sweet, thank you ❤💜🧡
You could add a bellyband near top and slide the back of paper pad under it
True! That's a great idea 💡 👍
very pretty
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
📎📏✂️☺
Very nice idea, great to give to a friend
Yes, it's easy, quick and so pretty!
I really liked your video on paper clip bookmarks.
Thanks so much! ❤
I just found your channel. Those notepad covers are neat. Love them. I watch the channel you mentioned.
Thank you ❤🧡💜
@@TheArtfulAddict I thought about making a few for Christmas, but Walmart has sold out of the journals. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.
I used to get the tablets at the Dollar Store, but recently I havent been able to find them. Happy holidays to you, too!! 🦃🦃⛄🎄🎁🎊
I have checked out Dollar General and Dollar Tree and could not find them. So, I will try after the first of the year. Perhaps I can make some for a spring craft fair that I will be attending.
Yeah, I've struggled to find them, too. Hope they will still be available, because I love the size!
❤️
This was an awesome tutorial! 🙆🏽♀️....Thank you for taking the time to record your process!...I am planning a full day of creating the weekend and am DEF adding this to the list of pieces to make 🤗...And your bonus items at the end 🤯 lol....Love the closure ideas ESPECIALLY the one with the magnet...Did you charge more than $3 for the one w/ the magnet cover?
So glad you enjoyed the tutorial! The event was outdoors and got rained out.. after I had already set up, of course! I wasn't going to sell the magnetic closure one, but if I did, then I might would have started at 4 dollars and reduced if need be. Thanks so much for watching! Please check out my channel page where you can peruse through all of my videos. You may find another one you enjoy. Thanks again!
@@TheArtfulAddict thank you so much! 😊...
Well done! Your mini pad cover could be Postage Stamp container. I am from London and people are reluctant to pay more than a couple of pounds even at church events. I just craft for my friends and family and church members. The real money is at posh shops in resorts, so I would go for "Woolworths" successful policy, stack them high and sell them cheap. With economy in the West going the way it is headed we may all find a market for cheap and cheerful gifts. I suggest doing say three of one item, but of increased quality by adding sentiment or sticker on front.
Great feedback, thanks so much!! ❤
Sherry, this tutorial is so beautifully and encouraging on how we can use a gift box to make a gift that keeps giving! Sherry, I have some chip board but when I ordered it I received the lighter weight by mistake. However, I use additional chip board alone with cereal boxes etc to get the proper weight. Is this appropriate when there is a need for a firmer weight? This tutorial is great in giving us an alternative solution for this project. Thanks for your illustration as to how we can create a nice gift an additional way! God bless you!
Hi Janice, i appreciate the comment, but my name is Gina, so I'm not sure if this comment was meant for me. ❤
Great project so thanks for sharing. Suggestion when you’re cutting score lines. People recognize “right of the score” and “left of the score” vs “inside/outside”
Thank you for such helpful feedback!
Love these! What kind of magnets did you use?
I'm afraid I can't remember the brand. My husband had them and he would have purchased them from Walmart or Hobby Lobby.
Hello again!
You mentioned here you were going to do a tutorial showing your closure ideas...
Would you mind showing your ideas....unless I missed the video?
I’m a newbie at crafting and journals are my new love, as a newbie I need easy hehehe
Have a beautiful day evening
Barb 😀
My goodness, I never did make a video on closures, thank you for reminding me! Barbara, I'll try to have it done and posted within the next week or two. Thanks again!
Please do a video on the small ones thank you very nice work
Thank you, Lisa! Just wondering how small, what deminsions would you like?
@@TheArtfulAddict the posted note size in your video thank you
Love these💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜TFS
Thank you, Hilda!
TFS!
💜🧡♥️
Just found and subscribed to your channel. Not sure how I got here, but I'm glad I did. Are you ok with others using this pattern to sell items at craft fairs?
Haha, I'm just glad you're here, however you found me! Yes, feel free to follow the instructions to create your own notebook holders to sell. 🥰
I'm making about 60 of these for an upcoming event. Do you have any videos on how to embellish these covers? Thank you!
Wow, you'll be busy! Embellishing depends on the paper, I suppose.uou could use paper flowers or add a banner with a title or use words or phrases. I left mine un-embellished so it remained flat to make it easy to put in your purse and take with you. If you had thinlits or a punch you could make a decorative tab to use as a label. Hope that helps and inspires! Happy crafting ❤
I make little note pads, different method. Waiting to find a craft sale to do to see how they sell. How did yours do?
Unfortunately, the event I made them for encountered bad weather shortly after getting set up so that event was a wash...literally. I'm just glad I packaged them in cellophane so they didnt get wet! But, I still have them and want to make more for when craft fairs start up again.
What paper that is heavier do you buy and what weight is it? Love your tutorial.
Thanks so much. My response was delayed as I was trying to gather information. Most all of the paper I have come via my monthly scrapbooking kit. The weight of the paper tends to very based on the company. 49 and Market paper is really heavy; Prima Marketing paper is a good mid-weight, and Kaiser Craft paper is a light weight (quality copy paper). Ive search and searched to locate paper weight associated with specific companies, but I wasn't getting anywhere.
@@TheArtfulAddict thank you very much for your reply. Love your tutorial with exact directions.
Thank you ❤
Thanks for the cute tutorial. So how did they do at the craft show? What price did you decide on?
I put them at 3.00 and then some I added a card that matched and a pen and charged 6.00 for those. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate that day and the event never really got going, but I still have them!
if you have website you should sell them online
I've thought about setting up a store on Etsy, but haven't had the time to focus on it. Perhaps one day!
maybe have a flash sale on Instagram. its worth a try 😊
Your paper is beautiful. Where would I get the same quality? My plain paper is heavier but not as heavy designed. Love your tutorials. Thank you.
I get most of my paper from My Creative Scrapbook's monthly kit, but you can Google the name brands of quality manufacturers, such as Prima Marketing, 49 and Market, Graphic 45, Blue Fern Studios, to name a few - there are lots of options - then browse until you find papers that you like. 🙂
@@TheArtfulAddict thank you so much. Love your tutorials.
@@TheArtfulAddict thank you kindly.
Did you say? How much did you charge? These are cute!
Oh goodness, I cant remember exactly. Seems like $5 or $8.00 for the notebook, matching greeting card and pen or something like that
Just wondering how much would you charge for one of these at a craft fair? I’m thinking of making some but just want to get to advice on how much to sell for?
If selling only the folder with pad, I would price the from $1.00 to maybe $1.50 depending on the venue. I packaged mine together with a simple homemade, coordinating card and a pen in a cellophane bag for $5.00.
if you have website perhaps sell them on there
I LOVED your video. It was very easy to follow and your voice is reassuring and pleasant. Are you or have you been a teacher? :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and instruction. I've gotten a few comments on my voice and it always surprises me. I'm always afraid my voice sounds crackly, or I speak to slowly. I often have long pauses when speaking, which I try to edit out. Probably TMI but your comment is very reassuring and appreciated! ♥️🧡💜
More to your question, no, I am not a teacher, but I have managed, led groups and trained others. I mostly assume those watching are new to crafting and so try provide instruction in a way that is easy to understand. I'm very glad you found it helpful 😊
New here❤
Welcome ☺❤🥰
Where did you buy your cutting board
Hm, I really don't recall, probably ordered off Amazon.
Hello I'm new. Where did you get your small scissors at?
Hm, my apologies, I don't remember, probably online.
How did these sell at your craft fair?
I never got to find out. It was an outdoor event and got washed out by the rain. I've given a few away, but still have several. Hopefully I will get another chance to sell them!
Where did you find that glue
I pretty much order all of my gloe from Amazon, so I'm sure that's where it came from.
Do you have any helpful tipsi really want to start making beautiful things like this but i can't read a ruler. Please help
Hi Marlee, thank you for the question. You can still use a ruler even if you don't understand the units of measure. Sometimes we use a ruler to help ensure our fold on one side matches the fold on the other side. In the video, you can see the size of each fold, so pick a line on the ruler that is about the same size as what was shown. Or, you can choose another measurement reference that will serve as your unit of measure, such as the length of your thumbnail. The standard water bottle lid measures one inch across, so 1/2 inch would be from the edge to the middle of the cap. It is a good idea to learn how to read a ruler and would make your crafting life easier. I bet there are youtube video tutorials available to teach you. In the meantime, I hope my suggestions are helpful. There are lots of tutorials that show how to make pretty things that don't really require measuring. Please checkout my video posted today. Good luck, and happy crafting!
Hi Maralee
W R Memories Keepers have all the numbers on their scoreboard trimmer. Example; 1, 1/8,1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, I hope this helps. All their products have the numbers marked.
@@dianecannon-logan8547 thank you where can i get one?
I just found your channel, and the one thing I'm confused about is, why did you bother scoring the spine when you cut it out of this project? Very confusing J/S!
Hi Barbara, thanks for watching. My apologies, I'm not sure I understand your question. All of the ones I made have a spine including the one in the video. I do cut off the bottom piece of the spine, is that the part you're referencing?
practice practice practice .... your cutting will get better .... also use your cutter, become more confident with it and you will hardly use your scissors
Practice does make all the difference, doesn't it!!
@@TheArtfulAddict i realize this was 3 years ago ... how did they sell? .... I also am looking at doing craft fairs but my main item is very unique (handmade albums and folios that sell for 25 - 75 dollars), but i am looking for simpler items to draw people in.
Unfortunately, the fair was not well attended, so nothing much sold, but they are perfect for journals, as well!
Do you have the measurements on this?
Hi Theresa, do you mean the final measurements?
Get on with it.
Too much chit chat for your liking?
Wow, you're a paper crafter and you don't even know the weight of the paper you are using or what to recommend. No one told you about gsm paper weights or the correct paper weights for certain projects? More information data would create a more informative and creatively inspired audience.
That video was over 4 years ago and I was new to paper crafting. All I can do is apologize if the video was not up to your standards. I
That used to frustrate me as well but then I ordered/bought many different weights (gsm) paper/cardstock and I tried all of them and figured out what works best for me because sometimes when others told me what weight they used it really didn’t work well anyway. 🤷♀️💞💐
@BornFreeThree. Good point. I looked and looked online to identify the weight of craft paper various companies used but had a very difficult time locating the information.
@@TheArtfulAddictthere are people like that on every post. Unfortunately they cause many good crafters to quit. Please know they are only out to be critical for no good reason. Most of us buy what we can afford, and have no idea of weight. Thank you for pretty covers.
