Here is what this project looks like after it's been scored.
Cut out the bottom center all the way past the two intersecting score lines. This allows the holder to bend.
Using your paper piercer, pierce two holes in the bottom outer sections and then place two brads there. The brads don't actually hold the notecard holder together - they are simply an embellishment.
Place a small amount of Sticky Strip over the backs of the brads and extend it down about a half-inch. The Sticky Strip is what actually holds the notecards in.
After you remove the backing of the Sticky Strip, be careful to position the flaps where they will leave a small pocket to accommodate the notecards.
This is the fun part! Punch out three 1/2" circles of designer paper and adhere them to the center of each pocket! Cute, cute, cute!
Now you'll apply your 5-1/4 X 1 piece of designer paper to the front, as well as three more 1/2" circles of designer paper. It's coming together now!
Once I find the center where I'll apply my ribbon, I like to put a small piece of Sticky Strip on the designer paper to hold my ribbon right where I want it.
Then I add my nice little embellishment on top of the ribbon! The embellishment is raised up with Stampin' Dimensionals! Then I sit back and look at this and realize there's NO WAY I'm going to give it away - I'm keeping it for ME!

Another darling idea, Penny! Chrystyna printed the recipe out for me---I'm swamped with school. But I can't wait to try it!
