Hello!
Today I’d like to share with you a project we made at a recent paper crafting class. I made a prototype in advance of the class that looked like this…

This is such a handy little gift! I made a couple of tweaks to the design for the class so that it wasn’t so time consuming and didn’t need so much equipment. On my original I heat embossed the ‘Just a Note’ and die cut it. For the class we simply stamped a smaller sentiment and cut it with the Double Oval punch but the overall construction was the same…

I’ve recorded a video tutorial to show you how to make this, just click on the image below to check it out…
Or you can CLICK HERE to watch it over on YouTube. If you’re not already subscribed to my channel I’d love you to do so while you’re there!
Here’s the one I made in the video alongside the one I made during the class…

In my video I showed you the document I gave to the ladies that attended my class, that includes the dimensions of the card and paper required. Hopefully you can see this here:
This was a fun project to make and I simply love crafting with our lovely group of ladies in the Scottish Borders. Our next class will be in January 2023 but I’m sure it will be worth the wait.
I hope you like this project as much as we all did.

Hi. I have two questions before I make the calendar. How large is the notebook you used? What are the measurements for the basic white sentiment?
Hello Lois, I’m very sorry but I no longer have this project, as I made it a few years ago. The DSP to cover the notebook measures 3-1/4″ wide x 3-5/8″ high, so I’d imaginee the notebook would be the same width but probably approx 4″ high due to the binding. The sentiment was cut with the Double Oval punch, the large oval is approx 2″ wide by 1-1/4″ high. You’d obviously want to have a larger piece of card to stamp on and then punch, so you have something to hold onto. I hope that helps.
