Just a Note...set that is

A Valentine's Day note pad set!  This was a really fun project :) and it will be a really great gift for someone!

Here is just the note pad holder.  Here are the simple directions:

Cardstock (matching your patterned paper): cut 5.5" x 8.25", score at 2 5/8", 2 7/8".

Patterned Paper: Outside panel - 2.5" x 8"

Flap on paper pad: 1 7/8" x 2.5", score at 7/8", 1"

Use sticky tape to adhere the note pad to the holder.

Embellish to your taste.

Here is a view of the inside when the note pad is open.  The note pad has been attached to the right side with sticky tape.  The patterned paper is the same dimensions as the outside (see above) and I just winged the little pocket.  I cut a piece of patterned paper 4" x 2.5" and diagonally cut the top.  I added sticky tape to the sides and bottom only and attached to create a little pocket for receipts of your matching paper clip.

And last but not least the cute little paper clip.  I started out with a jumbo paper clip and heart die cuts (I used the next to the smallest heart nestabilities).  I always cut out some chip board, also to adhere the heart shape to the make the paperclip just a little more sturdy.  I used crystal effects to adhere the hearts to the paper clip and just let it sit for a while to dry and then added my button embellishment.

The matching pen is a RSVP pen by Pentel.  Cut a thin 4" strip of matching patterned paper, unscrew the end cap on the pen remove the ink tube (?) and roll your paper around it and insert back into the pen, reattach the end cap. 

Since this was my first attempt, it probably took a little longer than usual, you know with deciding on which papers and all the little details of designing consists of and not to mention the HUGE mess that is needing to be cleaned up afterward.  I am looking forward to making more:) 

I used assorted patterned paper from K & Company's, KA-ZOO All in One paper pad.  It includes lots of Valentine patterned papers, stickers and even some cute little Valentine's.
