From scraps left over after creating a host of projects from a Basic Grey Serenade Kit (only one left in the store) I made these:
stitched on these white tags.
A birthday card for my neighbor Alice, who loves butterflies (Fabriano card base):
Also created a few notebooks - 3x5 spiral bound, 75 lined pages - from Staples (sold in packs of 5) - cut off cardboard notebook cover and neatly housed the spiral-bound pages using covered Bazzill chipboard with various script papers. A neodymium magnetic is concealed under the embellished tag on the notebook cover, and its mate is hidden in the wool felt flap.
These measure 3.5 x 5.25 inches finished. Idea-ology Foliage piece adds decoration to the magnetic wool felt flap.
An interior pocket is always nice. Magnet mate can be seen on the right; used fabric glue to secure as I didn't want visible stitching.
To compensate for the lump created by the felt closure at the notebook back, I added additional cardboard shims so the writing surface was comfortable and level. I like a quality piece.
The neodymium magnets keep these books closed securely. Opted to use these as they are (1) ridiculously stronger (hence more expensive) than the Basic Grey snaps, and (2) the Basic Grey snaps are on backorder until...gulp....end of next month! OYE!!
Quick pocket card thanks to the finished tag; card size is 4.5 x 5.5 inches. Handmade envelope.
