  • Designer Notebook

    Designed By Clare Howell

    Keep tabs on things with this designer notebook.  It be made with any sized notebook - simply adjust the lengths of paper that you punch. A great gift for brides, teachers, Moms or students.

Directions:

1 This project will work on any sized notebook.  You just have to adjust the lengths of paper that you punch.  (Always punch a longer strip than you need so that you can move the strip to where you want it).

2 Starting with the black cardstock and the 2-in-1 Lily Pad Punch on setting #1 punch two strips.  Set to one side.

3 Using the 2-in-1 Scallops and Heart Punch on setting #2, punch two strips using the Grey Designer Paper.  (One for the front and one for the back).

4 Slide the punch to #1 and using the same paper, punch out 4 strips.  (2 for the front and 2 for the back).  Save the hearts that get punched out as we are going to use some of them as dividers in our notebook.

5  Paint the front and the back cover of the notebook with black paint.  Allow to dry.

6  To stick the strips to the notebook, we used Matte Medium Gloss.  Before sticking anything down, trim the strips to the correct lengths.  Starting from the outside and working into the middle, stick the strips down.  Paint another layer of Matte Medium over the top of the project to seal it.

7 Divide the notebook into 5 equal sections.  For each section take 2 hearts and glue one heart on each side of the paper as shown
