If you love creating pretty and practical papercraft projects, then this chipboard-covered notebook is a must-try! Today I’m sharing how to make this beautiful folio-style notebook using simple supplies and a clever recycling idea that gives stunning results.

A Pretty Yet Practical Project

These notebooks are not only lovely to look at, but they’re also incredibly useful. Whether you use them for jotting down notes, keeping lists, or gifting to a friend, they make a thoughtful handmade item.

I’ve chosen a soft and calming colour palette using Hydrangea Hue cardstock, paired with the gorgeous Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper. The delicate florals and subtle gold foiling add just the right amount of elegance and charm.

Recycle Your Chipboard for Sturdy Covers

One of my favourite parts of this project is using recycled chipboard. If you’ve ever purchased Mix & Match Ephemera Packs, you’ll know they come with sturdy backing boards—perfect for this!

Simply cut the chipboard down to size and wrap it with your chosen cardstock. This creates a strong and durable cover while also being a great way to reduce waste in your craft room.

Measurements

  • Hydrangea Hue Cardstock – 15cm X 29cm.
  • Chipboard:
    • 10.8cm X 7.5cm
    • 1cm X 10.8cm X 2 pieces
    • 10.8cm X 5cm X 2 pieces

Beautiful Folio Style Design

This notebook is designed in a folio style, which gives it that professional, polished look. When opened, it reveals a coordinated interior with the same beautiful floral paper flowing throughout.

The structure feels really special—almost like opening a little book or keepsake—making it ideal for gifting.

Ribbon Closure for the Finishing Touch

To keep everything neatly closed, I’ve added a ribbon tie closure. Not only is this practical, but it also adds a soft and elegant finishing touch that complements the overall design beautifully.

You can easily customise this with different ribbon colours or even swap it out for other closure styles depending on your preference.

These notebooks make fantastic handmade gifts for birthdays, teachers, friends, or even as part of a larger gift set. You could personalise them further with initials, sentiments, or coordinating embellishments.

Once you’ve made one, you’ll definitely want to create more in different colours and patterns!

Make a Useful Mini Desktop Calendar – Brushed with Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

If you love creating handmade papercraft projects that are both pretty and practical, this mini desktop calendar is going to be right up your street. It’s compact, cheerful, and perfect for keeping on your desk all year long—making it a lovely handmade gift or a useful addition to your own craft space.

This project is designed to be functional as well as decorative, combining a calendar, post-it notes, and a pencil all in one neat holder.

Make a Useful Mini Desktop Calendar – Brushed with Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

A Practical Handmade Gift Idea

What I really love about this mini desktop calendar is how useful it is. The holder is designed to neatly fit a 3″ x 3″ pack of post-it notes, along with a small pencil, so everything you need for jotting down quick reminders is always close to hand.

Because it’s compact and freestanding, it works beautifully on desks, shelves, or even kitchen counters—perfect for home offices, teachers’ desks, or thoughtful handmade gifts.

Two Pretty Colourways

For this project, I created two versions, each with its own look and feel while using the same basic design.

The first version is made using Daffodil Delight cardstock, paired with Christmas Tags and More DSP. This combination gives a bright, cheerful feel that instantly lifts the desk it’s sitting on.

The second version uses Petal Pink cardstock alongside the gorgeous Brushed with Beauty DSP. This one feels a little softer and more elegant, making it ideal if you prefer a calmer colour palette.

Both designs show just how versatile patterned paper can be, even when used on practical papercraft projects.

Measurements

  • Daffodil Delight / Petal Pink Cardstock:
    • 3 5/8″ x 10 1/2″ scored on the long side at 4″, 8″, 9″ & 10″.
    • 4 5/8″ X 7″ scored on the long side at 4″ & 4 1/2″ and on the short side at 1/2″ from each end.
  • Brushed with Beauty designer series paper (DSP):
    • 3 3/8″ X 3″ X 1 piece
    • 3 3/8″ X 2 1/4″ X 1 piece.

A Great Project for All Skill Levels

This mini desktop calendar is suitable for all levels of crafters. Whether you’re fairly new to papercrafting or have been crafting for years, it’s a satisfying project that comes together beautifully and gives a polished finish.

It’s also a fantastic idea for craft classes, swaps, or clubs, as everyone ends up with something genuinely useful at the end.

Perfect for Year-Round Use

Because the calendar can easily be updated, this is a project that keeps on giving. Simply swap out the calendar pages as needed and continue using the holder month after month.

It’s one of those handmade items that proves papercrafting isn’t just about decoration—it can be practical too.

How to Make These Fun Christmas Decorations

How to Make These Fun Christmas Decorations – Festive Friends – Jolly Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

How to Make These Fun Christmas Decorations – Festive Friends – Jolly Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

These adorable little Christmas decorations are sure to bring some festive cheer to your table or tree! They feature Father Christmas and an Elf from the Festive Friends stamp and die set, and they’re perfect for adding a personal, handmade touch to your Christmas décor.

I coloured both characters using Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, matching the colours to the patterned paper I used for the box-style envelopes. The rich reds and greens really make these designs pop and give that traditional Christmas feel we all love.

The little envelope that Father Christmas and the Elf are peeking out of was created using the Jolly Delivery die set. It’s actually a small box-style envelope—such a clever design that can hold a little treat inside. I first die-cut the envelope base from Shaded Spruce cardstock for the green one and Real Red cardstock for the red one.

Next, I die cut the same shapes again using the Christmas Tags and More Designer Series Paper. I then used scissors to cut out each patterned section and matted them neatly onto the cardstock bases. This creates a lovely layered effect and ties in perfectly with the colouring on the stamped images.

Multiple Uses

Behind each character, I tucked a few gold coins—adding a fun, sweet surprise! I used some ribbon from my stash to make these into hanging decorations. Alternatively, these little decorations would also make wonderful place name markers for your Christmas table. Add a name tag and a treat inside, and your guests will have a delightful keepsake to take home with them.

These projects are quick, festive, and a lovely way to make your Christmas celebration extra special. Whether you hang them on the tree or use them as table décor, they’re sure to bring smiles all around!

These little folios are ideal for slipping into your bag, gifting to a friend, or even using as a mini card wallet or notebook holder. I love how each fold reveals something a little special!

Why You’ll Love This Dinky Tri Part Folio

  • Small but Mighty: It may be dinky, but it’s packed with charm and functionality.
  • Perfect for Gifts: we can always use a small notebook to jot done ideas.
  • Great Way to Use Pretty Paper: Let those stunning designs shine front and centre.
  • Beginner Friendly: A simple fold-and-stick project with maximum wow factor!

Both designs feature a simple “Just a Note” sentiment on the front, layered on coordinating cardstock circles, and a touch of sparkle with a rhinestone accent. I kept the decoration minimal to let those gorgeous papers do the talking!

Measurements

  • Fresh Freesia / Balmy Blue Cardstock—21cm X 11cm—Scored at 7cm, 7.5cm, 15cm, and 15.5cm on the 21cm side.

    • 7cm X 10.5cm X 1 piece
    • 5cm X 10.5cm X 2 pieces
    • 6.5cm X 10.5cm X 2 pieces

Tips for Making Your Own Tri Part Folio

  • Choose patterned papers that make you smile — the front cover is the star!
  • Use coordinating cardstock for a polished, professional look.
  • Stick with strong adhesives to keep the folds and layers nice and secure.
  • Add embellishments sparingly —This is going to go in people’s bags so you don’t want embellishments to be knocked off.

In the video tutorial linked below, I show you step-by-step how to create this Tri Part Folio from scratch. You’ll be amazed how quickly it comes together!

Here’s a little peek inside:

  • The folio opens out in three sections.
  • You can easily create a tuck spot in the flap to keep notes or tickets.

I found this idea online. I’ve always made new year mini calendars and sticky note holders but the idea to combine the two is genius. These are easy to make and you can make 3 from 1 A4 sheet. Fabulous. It is also a great way to use up scraps of patterned paper.

Measurements

  • Real Red Cardstock – 8 1/4″ X 3 1/4″. Score on the longer side at 1 1/2″, 1 7/8″, 5 & 5 3/8″
  • Reindeer Fun designer series paper (DSP)
    • 2 7/8″ X 3″ X 1 piece
    • 2 5/8″ X 3″ X 1 piece
    • 1 1/4″ X 3″ X 2 pieces

You can choose your closure, either a magnet or a velcro dot. I’ve used a Velcro dot here. I think these would be lovely table favours for a Christmas or New Year party.

Thank you for visiting me. I hope you enjoyed this project and it inspired you. The supply list linked to my online shop and video tutorial are below. You can find my Basic Craft Products that I regularly use here.

I will be pausing my videos for the week between Christmas and New Year. I will be back on New Year’s Day with new projects and inspiration. Thank you for following me on my blog and YouTube channel this year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I love to make my own Christmas decor. Do you? I’ve had these wooden baubles in my stash for years. Each year I take a few out to decorate. This year I’ve used the Snowy Wonder stamp set. I love all the cute images in this set. They are perfect to creat a wintery scene.

I stamped in a permanent ink and coloured in using the Stampin’ Write markers. The rhinestones in the centre of the snowflakes bring the whole design to life.

This cute Christmas tree was created using the background tree design from the Decorative Trees die set. I die-cut the image three times and folded each one in half in the centre. The paper is from the Take a Bow designer series paper (DSP). I made a red version below. Which do you like best?

Artful Amaryllis – How to Use it to Print on a Candle – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love a pretty candle for Christmas, don’t you? They make a great centrepiece to a pretty foliage display. I used the Artful Amaryllis stamp set to create these gorgeous candles. The images were stamped on tissue paper and then embedded in the candle.

tips

It is easy, but be careful as hot wax is involved. One tip is to go slowly and print each image on its own. Don’t reheat areas as the wax will start to drip.Tissue paper has two sides, one glossy and one matt. I used the matt side. You can stamp and colour using markers, or in this case, I used the two-step stamping element to colour my image.

I first made one of these teabag holders when I joined Stampin’ Up! That was over 12 years ago. Can you believe it? Time flies. These are easy to make from one sheet of 6″ X 6″ of paper or cardstock. I’ve chosen some nice herbal teas to do in them. I think these holders would be great as a little gift or as part of a hamper to give to someone special.
