Notelets and Tag holder

Hi Crafters

Todays post is all about a lovely project that was inspired by the Posh Paper Lady on YouTube.

It is a hardback folder with 3 x 3 notelets and some tags. It is not difficult to make and you can use up your stash to make this swap or gift.

I have made this one to give as a little gift to my Great Neice, and it has an Easter theme, with rabbits on the paper and embellishment.




You will need:
2 pieces of 4.5" x 4.5" cardboard and 1 strip of 1" x 4.5"
Papers to cover both sides
6 3x3 cards and envelopes either cover some cards or make the card & envelope from your stash
a few small tags to match
2 pieces of ribbon 8-10" long

GLue one side of the cardboard pieces ( I use cereal boxes for these projects
Lay on the back of your paper leaving a 1/8th" gap both sides of  the 4.5" squares, and the centre narrow strip, you should have 4.5" square, gap, 1" strip, gap, 4.5" square. Have an inch border all the way around. 
Fold over the paper and glue down putting your bone folder over the paper and smoothing down between the gaps. Cut another strips of paper to line the inside that measure 41/4" x 10"
glue down the ribbon pieces to the centre of either side of the folder on the inside 
Glue the lining paper down  well to the inside, again use your bonefolder to push the glue in the gaps and fold the sides up to make sure it is flexible and closes up within creasing the papers.

Next cut another piece of card 4.5" x 3 3/4"  
Score it on the bottom at 1/2" and 1"
and on the 2 at 1/2" and 1"  
cut the corner scored squares off and fold over the scored lnes to form a box frnt.
Use your small circle punch to cut out half a circle in the top 
Glue down the three sides and stick onto the left side of the folder
Make another box with 1/4" score lines and place on the other side

Put your cards in the left side and tags in the right hand side.

Great little giveaways or swaps.

Happy Crafting and stay safe
