My Minds Eye~Jubilee Gift Idea

IMG_4690
This was a gift from Leisa Herbst when I went to CHA.  Many of you have asked me how to make this so, I made one using My Mind’s Eye”" “Jubilee”.  So, many collections have gold in their collection so, I created mine with the gold pattern papers from this collection.
First , you will need a note pad and I would measure the width of it and add 1/4 inch to that measurement.  Since this will be something that will be used quite a bit, it is best to do it from Kraft tex.  I cut a piece of white Kraft tex 8 x 11 x 1/2.  Scor from the left at 3 1/2 then 4”, 7 3/4 and 8 1/4.

Then I added magnets as shown:

I used two on the inside of the front cover and on the outside of the inside flap.  I also, used my ek success punch to create the border.
Then you just measure each piece 1/4 inch smaller for each panel.  To attach the pattern paper with fabric tac

I also, inked all sides with Krylon gold leafing pen.

I used the new My Mind’s Eye die “Niche On Trend Die”.  Prima Leaf Die Set and Petaloo Color me crazy.  So, here is the finished note pad cover.  This would be great for teachers gift, Moms, friends anyone really.  I want to say thank you to Leisa again for this great gift!
