In this Crafty Friday tutorial, I’m showing you how I put together a super cute notepad + pen gift set that looks way more expensive than it is. I walk you through the basic build using chipboard, mats, and design paper, and I’m including all my cut dimensions so you can recreate it without guessing. This is one of those quick projects that’s perfect for teacher gifts, coworker gifts, happy mail, or just keeping on hand when you need something last-minute. I also share a budget-friendly option if you want to grab one already made—right now I’m selling them for 50% off at $8 shipped through December 31 (code APC2020), and you can email me if you want one. The big takeaway is that clean measuring and layering is what makes this set look polished: chipboard for structure, a nice mat for contrast, and matching design paper to tie everything together. If you love practical handmade gifts, this one is a winner.
