Project Recipe
Starting with a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock, with the long side placed along the top of the trimmer, score at the following measurements: 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 5 3/4", and 6".
At the 10 1/4" measurement, cut off the excess.
Rotate the cardstock clockwise, and score at 2 1/4".
Using scissors, cut out the smallest rectangle from the lower left corner (1 1/4" x 2 1/4").
Using a bone folder, burnish all the score lines well.
Apply Tear & Tape (or other strong adhesive) to the edges of the flaps to create the pockets. See diagram for the location of the adhesive.
Emboss Basic White cardstock (4" x 6") using the Sweet Citrus embossing folder. Using Multipurpose glue, adhere to the front of the notepad folder.
On Basic White cardstock (1" x 6") randomly stamp the flower images in Flirty Flamingo ink and leaves in Granny Apple Green ink. Stamp the flower centres using Daffodil Delight ink.
Adhere stamped cardstock to the right-hand flap.
Using Daffodil Delight ink, stamp the outline (rind) image on Basic White Cardstock. Using Lemon Lolly ink, stamp the inside of the lemons. Die cut using the coordinating die from the Sweet Citrus set.
Stamp a few leaves using Granny Apple Green ink and die cut.
Create a collage of lemons on the front of the notepad folder, on the left-hand side. Adhere lemons & leaves using multipurpose glue and Dimensionals.
Slide the notepad into the centre pocket in the folder.
Stamp "Thanks" on a piece of scrap Basic White cardstock in Flirty Flamingo ink (mask using a Post-It note). Punch out with the smaller oval using the Double Oval Punch.

Using the leftover 3/4" strip of Lemon Lolly cardstock, wrap around the closed folder, with the gap in the centre.
Using Tear & Tape, adhere the scalloped oval across the gap, creating a belly band which can slide on and off.
