Large Notepad Folio Tutorial, A Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

Hi all and welcome! This tutorial came about from a request from one of my viewers gcoop493. I had done some smaller desk organizer notebooks. You can see this tutorial here:
Desk Organizer/Notepad Tutorial • Desk Organizer/Notepad... I also did an addendum to this video and it is here. • Addendum to my Desk Or... There is a Google Doc link in the video descriptions, in case you want to make the smaller sizes.
The request was for a full size notebook and this is the result. I did do a few things different to shake things up a bit. I hope gcoop493 likes it, and I hope you do too!!!
I used "Love You Forever" by Country Craft Creations. There are other things I used by Country Craft Creations in this project...the list is below. I used 7 sheets of 12 x 12 cardstock and 8 sheets of 12 x 12 patterned paper. The seam binding was 2 - 14".

Love this! Thanks for the tip about using the angled piece as a template for the designer paper! Great idea!

Ahhh so cute! Going to make my daughter one for school--- however Im going to figure out the middle pocket so it holds a Composition book. :)

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

That would be perfect! Great idea!

This is so pretty and practical, Michelle! I haven't watched all of the tutorial yet because I am still in the process of making your embellishment box from yesterday. Geez, I can't keep up with you 😂😂

[@michelleallenacreativeoper6112]

Haha! Sorry! I’ll give you a couple days before I post another video! 🤣😉

Thank you for an amazing large legal pad holder. This folio is the best I've seen. One question. What weight paper did you use for your bases and pad pocket?
Thank you for the great tutorial.♥️

Hi! Thank you! What a sweet comment! I use 87 lb cardstock from Country Craft Creations. www.countrycraftcreations.com/collections/artisan-cardstock. It is very honestly the best I’ve ever used. It’s so sturdy and has a high linen content so it scores and folds like a charm!
