Punch the edge of your cardstock closest to the 7 9/16" score line with a border punch.
-
Step 3
Add strong adhesive under the score line closest to the punched edge.
Carefully fold the flap of the cardstock up so that the sides are even.
Place two more pieces of strong adhesive on the back of the Post-It™ note pad. -
Adhere your note page securely right before the 3-3/8 score line so that the flap can be folded over.

Thanks a lot.
Happy New Year with lots of crafting.
(Hope you understand my bad Englisch)
I used Distress inks on So Saffron paper. I used Spiced Marmelade (close to Pumpkin Pie) and Aged Mahogany (close to Burgundy).
Happy New Year, Hugs and smiles
Thanks.
We have a different Post-It Note holder in our resource section that shows how to attach a small pen. You can find it Here.
Julie,
I haven't made a holder for that size yet, but I tried to do the math for you. If your post-it pack is around 1/4" try this:
Start with a piece of cardstock that measures 2 1/8" x 4 3/4". Score the long side at 1 7/8", 2 1/4", 3 3/4". See if that works and please let us know.
Happy New Year
Hugs and smiles
I've just made one today
On the inside cover, adhere a bridge tally (2 or 3 table). Keep your score on the post-it pad, and when done with game, simply tear off to reveal clean sheet for the next game. What a money saver! A pack of bridge tallies cost $4.50 each at Hallmark...this was you can play 100 games for $4.50 and simply replace pad when you run out...
