This is the Stationery Set I did with my Stamp Club this week. I've taken pictures and tried to condense it best I can without posting a hundred photos, so multiple things may be going on in each photo.
Finished project. Stationery packet with two outside pockets for cards, one inside pocket for envelopes, a notepad and pen on Velcro for easy removal, four pocket cards with inserts and a magnetic closure.
Start with 2 pieces of Old Olive cardstock cut 6-1/2" x 6".
1 piece cut 6" x 2", scored at 1/2" in on both long sides.
Apply Sticky Strip to the scored 1/2" edges of the center piece and adhere to the bottom of the two pieces that will now be the stationery holder. It should be 6" wide and 6-1/2" tall. Pockets
1. Cut three pieces of Old Olive cardstock to 6-3/4" x 2-3/4".
2. Score each pocket on three sides only, two short sides and one long side @ 1/4" and 1/2".
3. Cut out the corners (all 4 little squares) and apply Sticky Strip to the outermost edges of the three sides.
4. Peel Sticky Strip and attach a pocket to the front and to the back of the stationery holder. I placed mine about 1/4" up from the bottom, it really doesn't matter.
5. Open the holder and adhere one pocket to one of the inside panels. Decide if you want it on the left or right side based on where you are going to put the tablet and pen.
I put a decorative trim on the outside pockets of the front and back.
Cut a piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock 5-3/4" x 1-1/8" (or however deep you want it to be), place it in the Eyelet Border punch to make it beautiful and tie a piece of Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon around it. Attach it to the pocket with Sticky Strip.
I used the Large Oval punch to put handles in the stationery holder. For a decorative trim I punched an oval out of Pink Pirouette and punched around the hole with the Scallop Oval punch. Attach the oval to the handle with a bit of adhesive.

Cards
There are 4 instruction photos in this picture.
1. Cut 4 cards, two Pink Pirouette and two Old Olive 8-1/2"x 5-1/2.
2. Score and fold in half.
3. Score again at 1" from the outside edge to make a flap for the pocket card and fold down.
4. Crease all folds with a bone folder so they are nice and crisp.5. Cut 4 pieces of Bella Rose Designer Series Paper to 5-1/4" x 3". Adhere to the front of the pockets below the flap.
6. Secure the flap down and in place with a bit of Sticky Strip underneath the flap.
7. Apply about a 2" piece of Sticky Strip to the top right area of the flap for the ribbon.
There are 4 instruction photos in this picture.2. Stamp words on Whisper White (I used Warm Words) and punch out with the Large Oval Punch
3. Punch coordinating cardstocks in Scallop Oval for layering
4. Pocket card inserts are Whisper White cardstock cut 5-1/4" x 4", you'll need 4 of them.
5. Decorative trim for the top is DSP cut 5-1/4" x 1". I used the Scallop Edge punch.
6. Stamp an image on the insert card, I used cupcakes from Wagon Full Of Fun.
Finished cards
Put two cards in the front pocket and two in the back.
Inside
1. Put the 4 envelopes in the inside pocket. I cut a piece of DSP 5-1/2" x 2" for the front of the pocket. Accessorize with whatever you want, I put a little Library Clip on it.
2. The pen is a RSVP pen by Pentel. Unscrew the bottom of the pen and pull it out, roll the piece of DSP (3-1/8" x 1") around the pen (ink part) very tightly and insert it back into the barrel of the pen, place the pen part back into it and screw it back together.
3. These little notepads are Evidence brand they came 3 to a package from Wal-Mart. You can use any notepad that will fit, even one with a spiral binding.
4.Cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock 3" x 3/4" for the pen holder. Roll it around the pen and Sticky Strip it to the front and back of the cardboard backing of the notepad.
I attached the notepad and pen with Velcro Sticky Dots so it could be removed for easy use.
Enjoy!

She took the tutorial I posted on the Stationery Set and made one using the Walk In the Park DSP. Pretty cute, huh? You can see Nancy's blog here. Yep! She is an fellow Idahoan.
