How I made the Faux Quilting Notepad Holder.

1. You will need a piece of cardstock that measures 81/2 X 11.
2. Score your cardstock horizontal at 5 3/4 and 5 1/4.
   
3. Cute a piece of coordinating cardstock at 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.
4. Stamp your pattern on the piece of cardstock.
   
5. You will also need a piece of the same coordinating cardstock cut to 5 x 1.
6. Stamp across that piece of cardstock.
7. Punch your scallop circle again from the same coordinating color of cardstock and stamp your initial on it.
8. Cut the cardstock you have chosen for your mats. You want to cut it about an 1/8 of inch larger than what you have already cut.
9. For the inside pocket. Cut your piece of cardstock to 6 x 41/2.
10. You will score 3 sides at 1/2 then 1/4.
11. Cut a small slit in the bottom corners so it isn’t bulky.
    
12. Make sure to add your glue to only the 1/4 of an inch you have scored and not the entire piece. This will form your pocket.
    
13. Adhere the front of the notepad together.
14. To finish the front I added some Mickey Mouse ear brads. I also added one on the inside.
    

I hope you enjoyed my post today and I hope you try one of these notepad holders for yourself.

Have a wonderful day.
