 Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. I hope you had a wonderful summer and you spent some great holiday. I've been traveling a lot on the English seaside and I have to say that I did enjoy it so much. I've been taking so many pictures with textures and things I really love to see and then I've been reading a lot and when I've been reading I kind of needed a little note but when I can take some notes from books I read it and I was thinking that maybe that can be what I will create in my next video. Hello, I've been spending some time on the seaside and when I came back this top shelf fell on me so I'm cleaning my room. I'm trying to decide what I will give away somewhere probably to charity shops. I need to make space because I do have so much stuff. Unfortunately, most of my stuffs are scraps or things which are supposed to be in the bin like old boxes and that's what I would like to use and if I will don't use it it will go to the bin and I'm gonna create it from this old oatmeal box and I'm gonna use it for creating my bookmark notepad. For the pages I'm gonna be using papers from this little notepad. I do have here in my stuff the measurement of this notepad. It's three inches by eight and one quarter. I'm gonna take only a few pages out of it about ten pages and click the uh stapled them together. I believe this amount of pages will be great to have with me in any book I will read and if I will want to make some notes this will be good. Now I can cut this box in the size I need. I'm gonna cut this side and I'm gonna be using just a ruler and cutting knife and following the original folds of this box I'm gonna just cut the side first. I'm gonna keep these offcuts for now maybe I will use them if I will don't use them they will end up in the bin. Now I'm gonna create a mark my notepad it's three inches in the width. I'm gonna mark here three and one eighth of inch slightly bigger than is my notepad three and one three and one and here is the size I have of that bottom chipboard and it's longer on both sides. Now I can cover the sprinted side with some decorative papers or book pages or t-dike paper anything I will want or maybe some fabric anything I will want. I'm gonna be using uh book pages because another thing I do have in my craft room in a huge amount are book pages. I'm gonna be using book pages and cover all the sprinted side. I have my piece fully covered with the book page. I'm gonna grab my notepad and I'm gonna start to score it. I think here I can take my ruler and just make a marks. I would like to have on the bottom a small part where I will put eyelet and maybe magnets close the bookmark together with this notepad inside. I'm gonna keep there one and one quarter of inch which is 3.2 centimeters or three centimeters will be good enough. Now from here I'm gonna count the notepad. Notepad will be ending here. The thickness of my notepad it's really small. It's one eighth of inch. It will fit in one eighth of inch and here on that opposite side I'm gonna copy the measurement from here. So I'm gonna just take these measurements. Eight and half. Here I made it eight and half. No, eight and three eighths. Three eighths and one and one quarter. One and one quarter. I'm gonna cut this long piece on my last mark where I marked this one and one quarter which I do have here as well. So I'm gonna cut the piece here like this and now on these marks which I do have here I'm gonna use my ruler and scoring board a scoring tool this ball pen and I'm gonna help myself a little bit you know to fold the chipboard at these points just to press it with my scoring tool and I have to be careful. I think the glue it's not totally dry yet and I don't want to ruin it so I need to be careful and I'm gonna fold the chipboard in these score lines and I do have this folded with the gap here in the fold and with these two flaps on the bottom I can fit my notepad inside and it's ending exactly before these flaps. For embossing I'm gonna be using this beautiful Tim Holtz embossing folder it is Sizzix, bear with me, 3D texture fades and this is called acorn, yeah of course acorns. So this beautiful embossing folder I'm gonna use also my inks I'm gonna be using smoked emerald from Spectrum Noir Harmony Line and I'm gonna add this smoked emerald to this side of the embossing folder. Now I'm gonna take my chipboard piece this will be front of my notepad and here it's the fold it's the middle fold so I'm gonna fold that middle fold this way I'm gonna place my little notepad cover facing with the front of my cover down on this colored side of embossing folder and I'm gonna try to emboss it it's quite few layers and I hope it will go well through to my embossing machine because it's quite thick oh it's really beautiful I do have embossed both sides but I don't mind that much this one I'm gonna unfold it clean my embossing folder and I have folded this gap again now I'm gonna take a brayer and try to flood this embossed part down if that will don't work but I think it will it will be okay so I'm gonna flood this side which I don't need to have embossed I do have most of that embossed effect gone from the back cover for the next part I have prepared here very strong coffee and I'm gonna be using brush and I'm gonna add a little bit of that coffee here and there just to color my little pieces spectrum noir inks are reacting with water really well so it's possible that part of that ink will melt into the coffee but I'm totally okay with that it's kind of what I would like to see and I'm gonna let this dry and after drying you can see the melting greenery ink between that coffee I really like that effect I do have here this leftover and that's what I'm gonna be using to make another layer on my cover I'm gonna be using both these sides so I'm gonna cut this and this I'm gonna tell you measurement of the base and of this so here it's eight and one quarter till the fold eight and three eight pardon me eight and three eight still the fold plus one and a half here that rest this top part is seven and seven eights so it's shorter and this is three and one eight and this is three inches same it's that backside both of these pieces I'm gonna wrap or cover from this side with this beautiful this is a roll of watercolor paper and I'm gonna use it as a cover cover on my two pieces I'm gonna do a little stamping I'm gonna be using this beautiful woodware stamp it's called snippet script I have this stamp in my collection for a last three years and I never used that so I'm thinking now is the time I'm using ranger archival ink jet black because it's nice and stable and just little stamping here again I'm gonna be using the coffee and I'm gonna cover all these pieces with the coffee then let it dry this coffee will add beautiful vintage feel and look to my pieces now I can let it dry I have added also few splatters with very strong coffee and let it dry now I can cut the window I'm not gonna be cutting window in both pieces one piece which will go on the backside that will be probably this one will go on the backside I'm gonna keep as it is I'm just gonna add a sewing all around with my using my sewing machine to add there a little bit more decoration and this part which will go here on the front I'm gonna cut the window I'm gonna cut the window in the part which will go over this embossed image for that I'm gonna take a ruler and pencil and Joe I'm gonna just measure how far I should go 16 centimeters I'm gonna make a mark here so I can go behind this line with my frame and I think I'm gonna make a frame one and a half centimeter inside of this space I draw the frame here in this space all sides of my frame are one and a half centimeter now I'm going to cut that inside rectangle I have cut that window and it will be like this okay before I will distress all edges on all these pieces I would like to create or decorate the inside and also create magnetic closure and add here eyelet for hanging maybe tassel or some decoration I'm gonna get up my magnets I'm gonna be using these small magnets uh they are they are very strong as you can see really very strong nice strong magnets one millimeter in the thickness by five millimeters in the oh mine it's R when I write it down and I don't remember the English word for that but they are five millimeters here nice and strong magnets for editing these magnets on my chipboard piece I'm gonna be using double-sided tape I'm gonna add double-sided tape here this will be back cover of my mini notepad or bookmark notepad I'm gonna add double-sided tape about one quarter of inch from the fold later another magnet I'm gonna take medical tape now this is paper medical tape very thin but with strong holding I'm gonna place it on this magnet and grab that other one and let it fall down like this and sticky side of my tape is here I'm gonna do the same with that next magnet I'm gonna grab my medical tape sticky side is here on the top place it over that magnet and let down the second magnet it's automatically twist the magnet the way it should be now I can fall down the front of my little bookmark and press on the pieces on the spots where I do have the other magnets and catch that medical tape so that medical tape hold it these two magnets and I do have them exactly on the right spots now I can put some decorative paper here inside I have placed decorative paper all inside in my cover now I can take my distress ink I'm gonna be using spectrum noir harmony line distress ink and this is called seal brown so that's what I'm gonna be using and I'm gonna distress all edges outside on both sides of this cover and also inside in that frame the other there a little bit of shades and kind of like vintage feeling so with my distress tool first I'm gonna go all around of these edges and also inside in that frame and then with circle motion I'm gonna make shades on the edges and also from inside around that frame I have my distressing done on both sides here on that cover and here I do have same paper I used for covering the inside of my notepad or bookmark it's nice and strong paper I think it's 200 gsm it's from this tropical state of mind it's 250 250 gsm beautiful card stock which I used inside of this of this notepad I do have here same card stock I'm gonna uh grab my sewing machine and here where is that middle fold I'm gonna sewn the piece of this card stock uh into that fold I think I don't need that big piece I'm gonna grab a pen this one and to try to roll it in how much I need not big piece I think somewhere here for wrapping my pen I need piece I'm gonna cut two inches it's even bigger than where I made a mark so two inches by three and one eighth it's same width like it's my cover for my bookmark and with my sewing machine first I'm gonna distress it of course nearly forgot I'm gonna add a little bit of glue here place there my card stock and I'm gonna place that card stock the way where I will have part of that card stock on the back cover as well it will be not exactly on that it will kind of overlap the fold and I'm matching these sides I'm gonna let it dry and then sewn through here I can see where is my fold that middle fold so in that spot I'm gonna sewn through with my sewing machine or I can do it you know by hand sewing just put three holes and simple sewing that maybe will be even better I don't have to pull out my sewing machine so I'm gonna do it with hand stitching easy hand stitching not sewing machine I'm gonna fold up front cover I can see where it's the back cover fold I'm gonna just poke three holes and same way like we are sewing signatures in the book covers I'm gonna sew this piece of card stock to make sure it will hold tight and make a knot now I can get up back and I just made mistake I wanted to make sewing all around well I'm not gonna make sewing all around of my cover I'm gonna keep it this way I wanted to make also sewing all around on my sewing machine so I'm gonna bring my sewing machine but for those additional pieces I'm gonna start to roll around my pen I'm gonna add the glue here and fold these together and I'm gonna secure it here with the paper clip and let it dry I think that holder looks like it's dry it's holding hopefully so I can continue I'm gonna be using these foam square pads to glue this panel on the front and this panel on the back cover I also added with my sewing machine a little sewing on this front panel to add there a little bit more decoration I'm gonna take off backing paper from these square pads and now attach the panel to the front cover press press same I'm gonna do with that backside panel for gluing down this backside panel I'm gonna actually use these offcuts they are in good size they will cover most of my little piece here so I can totally use them I'm gonna glue these two together glue the panel on the backside I do have my front decorative panel and back decorative panel glued down also I made a mark where is the middle of this small flap here where I do have my magnets I'm gonna add the there eyelets so first I'm gonna punch the hole then fix the eyelet I do have here that eyelet and I can hang there maybe tassel or maybe some charm and the last thing I need to add there the writing pad right to have there something there's some writing papers as I said I do have here stamped stapled together 10 pages from that little notepad I'm not gonna add there too much glue because this can be changeable I'm gonna add the glue just on one line here on the top and place it in this cover oh my spider here go have you seen him he just came to say hi from the ceiling I can't believe okay I'm gonna finish finish this video very fast very fast and I'm gonna call my son to deal with him don't wanna get him down again so we're gonna glue it inside he's going down again okay guys he's gonna glue it inside then you can you know close it together and here is finished finished bookmark notepad I had to cut a little bit this front cover it's kind of better to open it when you do have that front cover shortly shorter not shortly shortly shorter so it's better to open it and also this helps so much so this is how it looks like I do have fixed pen here in these strings which are from here if you will make this book and you want to attach their pencil leave these strings at least in the leg of your notepad it will be much much better to fix it in and you will have pretty much very good space or good leg to write with your pencil so you can see here I lasted really long so I can write without any issue with this pencil and I made few other designs as well I just couldn't switch on my camera because I was scared and my son took the small pepper pepper spider out and he's back actually he came back or if is it another one I'm not sure so I made this one inspired by that spider I do have that that school embossing folder from Tim Holtz I'm not sure if my camera is taking it right way but it's really cool embossing folder it does make you know these schools and it does have just lace in the back and same opening a little dango here with little notepad and it looks really amazing in book and if I will want to make you know some notes I will have my little notebook notebook bookmark with me so this is my sharing for today I hope you did enjoy it I hope you found some inspiration and you will try to declut if you are like me and you saved so many boxes and the book pages and you don't know what to do with them right now and you need to clean your area from all these things maybe this will help you to create something what you can use ah here I forgot to put
