Introducing Take Note

You have come to know Papertrey as THE place to go for the most innovative products & designers in the industry! And Michelle Wooderson is one of the best in the business! The two of us have teamed up again to bring you an amazing new stamp set & product line that is the first of it's kind!

One of the projects that Michelle is most well known for is the one-of-a-kind altered notepads she creates.  (You can see examples of some of her originals HERE). In an effort to streamline her design process when creating these mini-masterpieces, Michelle sketched out some concepts for a special stamp set designed to be specifically used to embellish them.

Mishs-original-sketches

(click on the above image for a larger view)

These are Michelle's original sketches for you to have a fun peek at!  She thought of everything and I fell in love with the entire concept as soon as I laid eyes on it!  And I know you will too!  There are borders, titles & design accents included that will make creating these little notepads fun, quick & easy!

The details.

  • Take Note will be available for purchase on October 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • Take Note contains a total of 22 stamps (12 titles, 3 borders and 7 companion images).
  • Two of the borders are circular which coordinate with 1.75" standard circle punch, 2" EK
    Success scallop circle punch * Marvy (blue) super jumbo scalloped
    circle punch.
  • All of the titles fit within these circular borders.
  • The third border is a large rectangle which aids in creating a perfectly sized mat for the lower portion of the notepad covers.

When we decided to go forward with this stamp set it was obvious that we couldn't make it available without coordinating notepads to go with it!  We are excited to introduce Paper Basics Notepads in a unique 2.5" x 8" size, specified specifically by Michelle for these projects! 

She traditionally took junior legal pads to Kinko's to have them cut in half for these applications, which was inconvenient AND you were left with that ugly spine cover at the top with the manufacture's information on it.  And really, the blue lines they print the pages with don't always coordinate with the color scheme of your project (and we paper crafters are all about color coordination, aren't we!).

The Paper Basics Notepads will be available in two colors.

White Notepads 

White with Smokey Shadow lines…

Vintage Cream Notepads

…and Vintage Cream with Dark Chocolate lines!

The details.

  • The Paper Basics Notepads will be available for purchase on October 15th.
  • They will be sold in a set of ten for $6 (that's 60-cents each!).
  • Each notepad has 25 one-sided lined pages with a lightweight chipboard backing.
  • They measure 2.5" x 8", with the pages gummed together along the top edge.
  • Available in either White or Vintage Cream.

Now let's see Take Note and the new notepads in action, shall we?!?!

Jot This Down Notepad

I decided to use the title "Jot This Down", admittedly it's my favorite from the set!  After much consideration, I finally decided to use a color scheme of Smokey Shadow, Spring Moss, Ocean Tides & Vintage Cream.

Notepad closeup

Here's a closeup of the notepad.  Doesn't everything just come together so well when using this stamp set?  I stamped the "Jot This Down" title with Smokey Shadow ink onto Vintage Cream cardstock, followed by the border (that coordinates with a 1.75" circle punch) stamped with Ocean Tides.  All of this was matted on a scalloped circle of Spring Moss.  Behind the title focal point, I stamped the stripes from Background Basics: Retro directly onto the Ocean Tides cardstock using Versamark ink.

Buttons

I did some button stacking on top of a double row of Vintage Cream Twill.  I alternated Ocean Tides on top of Spring Moss and Spring Moss on top of Ocean Tides, held together with glue dots.  I love how there is such an eclectic mix of buttons in each bag.  It really allows you to get artistic and create unique projects!

Text pattern

I love, LOVE, love the patterned paper I came up with for the bottom portion of my cover.  I started with Spring Moss cardstock stamped with the new Text Style II using Smokey Shadow ink.  I then stamped some images from Giga Guide Lines using the new Spring Rain pigment ink.  It left a faint, faded, vintage look which I really liked!  A bit of Vintage Cream ink was sponged around the edges and finally I stamped the rectangular border image from the set with Versamark ink which left a very faint outline.  I will definitely be doing this again!

Notepad pocket
 
The inside of the notebook is fairly simple.  I had left an extra curved flap that was allowed to fold over to the inside of the cover (adhered at just the bottom).  This formed a little pocket, perfect for tucking things into.  I have included a printable template that you can download below to recreate the same look…

Notepad-download-graphic
 

Download Notepad Pocket Cover Template (double)

Download Notepad Pocket Cover Template (single)

These templates are actual size, so you can
just print and go if you wish.

There are two versions of the download, one for a double notepad, like I showed above, and one for a single notepad.  I would love see what you create with this template is you put it to use!

The notepad is adhered in place with Scor-tape.  I did something a bit different with the notepad that I thought I would take the time to share with you.

Removing chipboard

The notepads come with 25 sheets of lined paper attached to a lightweight chipboard backing, coming in at about 1/8" thick.  This ended up being the perfect thickness to create portfolio style notepads (which Michelle talks about HERE), but for my application here, I wanted something a bit thicker.  So I decided to combine two of them to make it last twice as long and be a bit thicker.  I started with two notepads and removed the chipboard backing from one of them.

Adding scortape

I stacked the one without the chipboard on top of the other, holding them together firmly, I added 1/4" Scor-tape across the top of the stack.  Since the notepads are about 1/8" inch thick each, the 1-4" Scor-tape is a PERFECT, exact fit!

Scortape on spine

Here's what they looked like after the Scor-tape had been applied.

Cardstock over spine

After removing the paper portion of the tape, I added a 1/4" strip of cardstock to cover the adhesive and prevent it from sticking to anything.  Super professional looking, don't you think?!?!?

Top view

There you have it!  A tour of my little notepad and your first peek at Take Note!

Now for some more inspiration, I challenged the members of the team to each create a unique notebook to inspire you and showcase just how many options are available with this clever little stamp set.  Upon seeing all the results, my eyes were opened to even MORE possibilities than I had originally thought possible!  So grab a warm beverage and settle in for a little Take Note showcase!

    How quickly can you say SOLD OUT! Oh my gosh Nichole, I sure hope the servers for the Papertrey site will be able to take the pressure of everyone placing their orders on the 15th – I know I’ll be one of them. What a fantastic idea. I follow Mish’s blog and was wondering where I’d find someone to cut those notbooks up for me here in Australia – problem solved now. Roll on the 15th!

    You must be reading my mind. I have a list of Christmas Gifts I want to make for my mother and grandmother this year. I was hoping to mimic Mish’s notebook idea, but I haven’t been able to find the right sized notepads or someone who was willing to cut them for me (living in a small, small town). Hope you have a lot in stock, I plan on buying tons!!!!!!!!! I am super excited….bring on Oct. 15th!!!

    In my mind I always saw the Kinko’s sliced notebooks with the little blue lines, and figured one half would be fine, but the other half would have a vertical line right through the middle of it. But I was going to get over it to make some notebooks for early Christmas gifts this year. So, now look how perfect this is here?

I love PTI’s innovative new ideas and this one is especially great!

Incredible. This stuff is perfect for those teacher gifts and hostess gifts for the holiday season too. Sign me up! Oh yeah, I have to wait until the 15th!! Darn!

Can’t wait to get my hands on this and make some gifts. :0)

    I am super excited about this set and the notepads. I have been wanting to make these cute notepads for a while now, but no one in my area will cut the junior legal pads in half for me. I love that there are two colors to choose from and your notepads don’t have that line that goes down on one half. The stamp set you and Michelle have created to go along with this set is pure genius! It will cut down the time it takes to make them and also make them look fab!

    I am jumping for joy after reading this post. Okay, maybe not jumping but I am bouncing and grinning from ear to ear. I am getting ready for three holiday bazaars and was planning making notepads to sell. In the past I have had to go to Office Depot and have larger pads cut in half. I always ended up with one that had a red line down the side which really bothered me but I couldn’t throw it out. So I would decorate the side with a border to make it look a little better. PTI to the rescue with their wonderful new notepads. The stamp set will also come in handy as I make lots of notepads for the bazaar, for myself, and for my friends and family. I just LOVE PTI. Now I hope you don’t sell out right away and that I get my order in super fast.

    I have adored Mish’s notepads, and have made several for gifts, but to have them precut and with a coordinating stamp set…HEAVEN. Can’t wait to order a stash of the cream and chocolate pads…that is such a wonderful color combo!

    I’ve definitely never made any of these notebooks, but love the way they look. Living where we do, I think stores would have just laughed if I’d have requested they chop those notebooks in half! I love the idea of making some notebooks now that it will be so convenient!

    I love this set! I can see using it in so many ways. I didn’t realize that Michelle was a homeschool mom. We have been homeschooling for a few years as well. This can be a bit of a thankless job at times so I love encouraging other families. I love making gifts for other homeschool mommies to put a little smile on their faces. This set is so perfect.

    This is phenomenal! Everybody uses these note pads. I love the first sample Nicole did the best for the colors she used. The first one I would make would probably be a grocery list one since I use those all the time. This is a must have set!

    What a fun idea! I’m definitely going to buy *at least* one, if not two or three, stamp sets this month and just when I think I’ve narrowed down my choices. . . . ha, ha. Gosh, I’d love to win this prize!! These would make wonderful stocking stuffer gifts for folks. It was a really good idea to offer two paper/ink choices for the pads — you could choose pure white for a “cool” color palette or cream for a warmer palette.
