'Bookish' Mini Wrap Traveler's Notebook

This laminated Traveler's Wrap Notebook is approximately 3.5"W x 5"H. It has 4 bands. This one has two notebooks 3.25" x 4.5" and two laminated 'dashboards'/folders, each with two pockets. 

I made a clear pocket on the inside cover. I used the trimmed cut-off from the laminated cover and cut it down to size and used double-sided tape to adhere it to the laminated cover.

Once again used an Echo Park Scrapbook Pad called ... what else?? but 'Bookish' ! Used 6" x 6" doubled sided papers to make the folders and some tags and bookmarks which I laminated. From the 12 x 12 pad I added some stickers. 

I used metal brads to connect the elastic on the bands as well as the notebook closure wrap. Eliminates bulky tied elastic knots.

Sticky Note Pad Holders

Crafted these little cuties using double sided papers, magnetic closures and added mini resin flowers on the front. Easy to make holders for 3 x 3 inch sticky note pads. 
Cut my paper 3"W x 9"L. 
Scored at 2 ½, 27/8,  57/8, 6¼. Rounded the corners of the front flap. Creased the score lines and adhered the sticky note pad using double sided tape. Glued the magnetic closure in and added a decorative resin flower. 
 
A simple crafty project to use up left over scrap papers. Lots of variations and tutorials online. Karolina Krafts offers a tutorial for mini sticky note pads which is easy to follow and I adjusted the dimensions to fit a 3 x 3 inch pad.

Here's my previous post to my Mini Sticky Note Packs.

Mini Note Hearts


 

A bowl of mini Hearts, each with a pocket to tuck a note


I began working on these back in March of last year and set them aside. Finally finished stuffing them and added some ribbon and buttons. You can see my previous post here.  In another past post I shared info about how to make the fabric butterfly that tops the lighted tree here.

Boho Rainbow Mini Notebooks

Used this cute Boho Rainbow paper to cover these two mini notebooks I bound using The Cinch. Pages are from Echo Park Scrapbook Pad; 'Day In The Life' as well as colored cardstock and index cards cut to size. 

The square notebook is 4 inches square. The vertical flip notebook measures 3" x 4". Many of the pages I used are scrapbook pad 'cut-aparts' which are handy when making these simple notebooks.

Thought I messed up when I put the 'sideways' rainbow on... according to AI;  "The sideways boho rainbow symbolizes acceptance, diversity, and a carefree spirit, reflecting a playful and vibrant aesthetic. It encourages embracing all colors and living joyfully, often associated with creativity and uniqueness." I thought,oh, ok, good, because I liked the rainbow and didn't want to redo the cover

Horizontal Notebooks 6" x 4"

Bound these using The Cinch Bookbinder...what else!

 One is a crafty inspired colorful notebook for ideas & new projects. Used 'cut-a-parts' from 'I'd Rather Be Crafting' Echo Park Scrapbook Pad and added colored cardstock pages.

The other is a cheerful, simple monthly planner tabbed quarterly. Used Echo Park 'Day in the Life' Scrapbook Pad which had a sheet for each of the 12 months. Added 6" x 4"colored cardstock and index cards.

Both are simple, handy size notebooks to toss in your bag or keep on your desk!
