Aren't these cute? I used the "Garden in Bloom" stamp set to make them. Plus I used the newest "In Colors".
These little notebooks measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2". I have a Rubi Coil machine that punches the holes 4:1, which means there's 4 holes per inch. I have lots of coils at home so when I was shopping for a machine, I had to make sure I got the one with the right pitch or all of those coils would be worthless. I often save my copier paper that was only printed on part of it. As long as there's 2-1/2" left, I cut it up and set it aside for notebooks. It's fun to make these little notebooks. I often sell them at the craft fairs. People LOVE buying stocking stuffers.
The colors I used here are Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Delightful Dijon. On the Watermelon Wonder I also used Calypso Coral behind the butterfly. On the Mint Macaron one I used Smoky Slate. And on the Delightful Dijon I used Hello Honey.
I went to the Color Lab and entered in one of the new In Colors and had the site find a color that would compliment it. I got lazy and didn't want to rifle through the card stock to see what would match. This is a free site to use to coordinate your colors. I had not used the site in a while, mostly because I can usually figure out the colors myself. Plus they had included in the list all the retired colors. Now there is a drop down menu for just the current colors or you can pick by color group, or all colors including retired. I like that site SO much better now that they separated the colors like that. I will probably use it more now. If you are not familiar with it, go to the link at the beginning of this paragraph and check it out. I think it will be come your new coordinating buddy!!!
You can also see some cute snowman ones I did a few years back. I always sell out of them at the craft fairs. Click here to see the snowman notebooks.
These make great Hostess Appreciation gifts, Customer Appreciation gifts and of course, stocking stuffers!!
I use to sell the notebooks but that was before I had a million other things do to, but if you REALLY must have some, you can contact me. Look to the right sidebar and find the icon that reads "Got a Question". My email address is found there.
