I bought an inexpensive Heavy Duty Stapler that staples 50 to 90 sheets. It uses 1/2 inch heavy duty staples and it came with 1000 staples all for only $15, which I thought was reasonable.
These little Matchbook Notepads measure about 3.5 inches square and each holds 60 sheets thanks to my new heavy duty stapler!
Over the years I've collected a variety of pretty beads and began my little hoard with the intention of making a chunky bead dangle some day. Occasionally I'd pick up other necessary tools and wires for simple bead making. Recently I bought a 'One-Step Looper' which turned out to be quite the handy tool for this project!
I tried my hand at wire wrapping sea glass and made some pendants using suede lace for cordage. You can view that previous post here.
These miniature Blizzard Books measure approximately 1.75 × 2.25 inches. The tiny book measures 1 x 1.25 inches. The book pages are folded from Sumi Art Paper (washi/rice paper). The marble paper covers are from Pepin. The blue floral on white paper cover is from Norman’s Printery, it's a screen printed design on recycled newspaper, which I believe is no longer available. The purple-ish book, including both its pages and cover, is folded entirely from the same handmade paper from India.
I followed the instructions in Hedi Kyle's The Art of the Fold to create both the Blizzard Books and their pleated-closure schoolbook covers. Everything is made entirely by folding—no sewing, glue, or staples required!Paula B. Krieg also offers easy-to-follow tutorials for both projects on her YouTube channel. In one video, she explains how to calculate proportions, customize the Blizzard Book/Card Carrying Case, and in another demonstrates the folding process. In another, she shows how to fold the Pleated Closure Book Cover.
I created these boxed mini notebooks using Steampunk-ish papers from Stamperia. They're double-sided cardstock and a good project to use up scrapbook papers from my stash. I made these 3-inch square notebooks each with its own coordinating gift box.
The notebooks are simply bound with staples and filled with 100% cotton white woven papers from Southworth, making them quick to assemble and perfect for sweet little gifts.
I was inspired by a tutorial from The Posh Paper Lady. I adjusted the dimensions to create a smaller box to fit my 3-inch square mini notebooks.

These fun Notepad List Folios measure approximately 3.5" W x 7" H and are perfect for keeping your shopping lists and notes organized.
Each folio features an elastic pen loop with a pen, an elastic closure, and a pocket on the inside front cover. The included notepad measures 3" x 7" and has a full-size magnetic sheet on the back. The notepad is removable, so you can place your shopping list on the fridge and keep it handy until you're ready to shop! Folios are reusable, just replace with a new pad!
I was inspired to create a few of these folios after stumbling upon a YouTube channel that demonstrated the entire process of making them. I used various Echo Park and Carta Bella Paper Collections and their coordinating stickers.
If you'd like to make some of your own, you can visit the channel here. She provides step-by-step instructions for creating these fun and useful folios.

I created several of these boxed mini notebooks in two different sizes. They're a fun and simple way to use up the cut-apart sheets that are often included in scrapbook paper collections. For these, I used paper collections from Echo Park and Carta Bella.
I made both 3-inch square notebooks and 3 × 4-inch notebooks, each with its own coordinating gift box.
The notebooks are simply bound with staples and filled with white and pastel copy paper, making them quick to assemble and perfect for sweet little gifts.
I was inspired by a tutorial from The Posh Paper Lady. I also used her box tutorial, then adjusted the dimensions to create a smaller box to fit the 3-inch square mini notebooks.
