I am so grateful there are people like you, who say "challenge accepted" and do all the math, so that people like me can make stuff. Thank you SO much!! The rain is coming Michelle! A bit earlier than usual this year eh?
You are my hero! I so appreciate the written cheat sheet for several different sizes. This is exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you so much!
I ran across this and am so happy I did. One woman had did something similar but it was in DUTCH! This project is gonna be my favorite to make for my gift boxes for sure!!!
One part I am trying to understand is that one sixteenth measurement. (that minus one sixteenth just throws me) I don't know how to measure that on ruler??@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112
Yet another awesome tutorial Michelle! One thing that I have done when giving these as gifts is to cut several more strips for the top of the actual notebook and then I tuck them in the pocket in the back. That way when they put in a new notebook they can glue one of the coordinating paper strips to the top. Hope I explained that well... I am sometimes "explanation" challenged!!
They do make great gifts, thank you so much for watching! I made a similar version for a full sized notepad if you are interested Large Notepad Folio Tutorial, A Country Craft Creations Design Team Project th-cam.com/video/MyxwQiY9_4U/w-d-xo.html. Have fun with them!
Thank you! I loved learning the accordion pockets! I only have the base done so far. I still don’t know how much paper I used, I think I could have cut it out better utilizing my paper. Now I have to figure out the sizes for my designer paper! I really love this configuration.
Michelle This is AMAZING (as always lol) I LOVE it and the little extras. I would have never thought to add pockets..GREAT idea. Thank you for doing this for me..I KNEW if anyone could do it it would be you. NOW to make some.
So I actually did this one too, I just need to add ribbon and the front paper, ill do that tomorrow {preschool day tomorrow} 😊. I had trouble with my big pocket, only because I literally can’t get those miter marks accurate.😂. Other than that, it really was easy to do. Thanks for going the extra mile with all your figuring whatever it is that motivates you to come up with all your creations. I have a CCC, Package alert, so any day it should arrive with my craftology kit.😊
I’m really glad you liked it. As you can tell from the video those pockets were tricky for me too. But I’m glad you did it. I can’t wait to see your creation!
Hi Michael I was doing your book and noticed there was some mistakes hope you can please create them because that is an awsome book. The mistakes is on your scoreboard and the measurements you were giving for the 4x6 book, thank you so much for taking your time to teach us this project. ❤️
😂❤🎉 I just began watching this but I wanted to tell you how much I love it already. I subscribed I joined I'm looking into the Halloween group this looks like a fun group of people and very talented as well of course and dedicated you are so dedicated I love that about you from California
I’m so glad you liked the tutorial I did do an 8 1/2 x 11 version. . It’s here. Large Notepad Folio Tutorial, A Country Craft Creations Design Team Project th-cam.com/video/MyxwQiY9_4U/w-d-xo.html. I hope you like that one too. 😎
Thank you so much☺️🫶🏻☺️I really do appreciate it. ❤️I usually don’t write out the measurements for patterned paper, however, I usually cut patterned paper 1/8” less than the piece they are covering. So for example if you are covering a 5x8 piece of cardstock I cut it at 47/8 x 7 7/8. I hope that helps you.
@Michelle Allen, A Creative Operation well that's just ugly...I will be gluing my pattern paper over the gray ugly papers. Or i might make it all just from my pretty pattern paper. Yup that's it.
You really are a genius! This is a really great idea and they are so useful! I wonder if you could make it so the closure is on the right instead of the left? I know you can figure that out too!!!! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing!
All you have to do is turn the base to make the closure on the other side. Just score it all the same and turn so the 1 1/2” is on the right. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments! I appreciate it!
I haven’t done one that size. I did do a full sized organizer that had a notepad included in it. It’s here. Let’s Create Project Planner/Organizer, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project th-cam.com/video/dyKZGqIHCGQ/w-d-xo.html.
I really like this. It will be perfect for all the lists needed for the next several months for birthdays, school functions, family and holidays. I love the box pocket. Is there a easy way I could add a flap with either magnets or velcro to the flap on the box envelope? That way I could keep receipts in there. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Absolutely. Measure how wide and tall it would need to be, add 1/4” for the gusset/box depth space, then add 1/2” for a tab to attach it to the back of the box. I haven’t done it. I actually thought about it too!
Looking at your left base on the scoreboard it appears that the measurement is 7-3/4 not 7-3/8...am I seeing this wrong based on the ruler at the top of the scoreboards?

Michelle:
Knowing you, nothing is impossible, you are absolutely amazing, brilliant etc. 💙🙏🏼💙🙏🏼. I think 🤔 it could have a pencil ✏️ holder too.
Is that another challenge? L😂L
@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112
Yes 🙌
Thanks, Michelle, for the video, can you do a tutorial on how you cut down the note pads?
I can add that to my list of things to do. 🤗
Hi. Love this. I'll make mine without ribbon. Want to make for my son. Thanks

FYI, she did put a flat to cover the note pad. Thx for sharing!
Oh jeez! My brain sometimes…she did and I corrected myself in the description. Thanks for letting me know.
Awesome job, great video! I wonder if anybody asked about a 8.5 x 11 legal pad? 🤠

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your crafts. I do have a question, IF you have time. Do you have a guide on the DSP measurements for the 5 x 8 notebook cover project
Thank you so much☺️🫶🏻☺️I really do appreciate it. ❤️I usually don’t write out the measurements for patterned paper, however, I usually cut patterned paper 1/8” less than the piece they are covering.

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 oh yes VERY HELPFUL. a very good guide to use. THANK YOU KINDLY.
You’re most welcome!
Awesome tutorial! Where did you get your clips?
At the Dollar Tree. 6 for $1.25! I love them!
Totally amazing! Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'm making this in the same color cardstock you are using for demo. How do I cover the rounded pieces with decorative paper. The area that
Hi, thanks for watching. You don't cover those with patterned paper, just leave that in plain cardstock.
@Michelle Allen, A Creative Operation well that's just ugly...I will be gluing my pattern paper over the gray ugly papers. Or i might make it all just from my pretty pattern paper. Yup that's it.
Ok. That could work too. Have fun.

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 Of course...thanks for that tip that I wouldn't have figured out and that is why I need you!!!!
Have you done one in a size that would fit letter size notepaper or notepad?

@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 thank you so much. I would love to see this version done in letter size too if it's something you would consider. 😉
I will add it to my list! Thanks so much!

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 Thank You! I’m going to try that so I can keep all my lists and receipts together in one place.
Looking at your left base on the scoreboard it appears that the measurement is 7-3/4 not 7-3/8...am I seeing this wrong based on the ruler at the top of the scoreboards?
Oh my Gawd!!! The left is 73/4 x 8, the right is 6 3/4 x 8. I’m so sorry. The measurements in the chart are correct. Please forgive me.
What paper or chip board are you using for the cover?

Great tutorial, what is the base material?

Do you have a guide to cut the patterned paper?
No I don’t. Since people like to do it differently. I usually do it 1/8” less than the piece it’s covering. Some people like 1/4”.
Love this!
Thank you!
Hello im new. Your channel looks amazing xxx
Thank you for being here, welcome! I have a ton of things here in my channel, I hope you have fun exploring!🥰
Sorry to question but now it looks like 7-7/8...would like to verify this measurement please.
Oh my Gawd!!! The left is 73/4 x 8, the right is 6 3/4 x 8. I’m so sorry. The measurements in the chart are correct. Please forgive me.
preciosos!!!
Thank you!
I love the little clips you use to hold the corners in place while they dry. Great idea! Where did you get them?
Those are from the Dollar Store! You get 6 in a pack, and I absolutely love them! Thanks for watching!
Hello, what kind of cardboard is the base?
It’s Artisan Cardstock from Country Craft Creations countrycraftcreations.com it’s 87 lb.
So is the cover cardstock? Not chipboard?
Correct. I was using Kraft colored cardstock.
