We’re going to embellish a sketchbook today. I usually buy mine in packs of 3 plain ones and embellish them depending on my mood or favorite color. This weekend I finished filling up one sketchbook and needed to get another one ready to go. My last one was embossed paper and velvet ribbon:
I went with something a little more fall feeling this time around. I had a scrap of red vinyl in my scrap bag and stamped a pattern on that. I really like how it turned out!
Want to make one? It’s easy:
Use pinking shears to cut a 1″ strip of the vinyl. This gives it a nice zig-zag edge. Stamp directly onto the vinyl with a permanent ink. I used the Memories Dye Ink pad in White with one of the border stamps from Build A Border.
Adhere the vinyl onto the notebook and trim the edges. (I used the Crafty Power Tape from 3L Scrapbook Adhesives! That stuff sticks to ANYTHING!!) Add a little bling to your stamped image.
Put your sketchbook in your purse/clutch/bag and you’re ready to go! These would make great little party favors or gifts too!
