Supply List:

To Create Notebook:

1) Cover face and back of composition book with kraft cardstock. You may also cover inside flaps as well.

2) Cut patterned paper to 6 5/8 x 5 3/4” and adhere over ribbon onto face of notebook.


3) Cut a piece of kraft cardstock that measures 6 5/8 x 5 3/4” with S5-164 Grateful Lattice die template. 
Note: Align paper just below the cut edge of the die template.

4) For a continuous piece, run die through the Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® GC-001 die cutting and embossing machine a second time after carefully repositioning die on paper so that the pattern repeats.

5) Adhere lattice die over patterned paper.

6) Cut/emboss kraft cardstock quilling strips with S5-014 Bauble Blossoms Two and monogram mat with S5-161 Radiant Rectangles (#2 Insert and #3 Border) die templates.
