Start with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. Score down the middle at 4 1/4", then turn and score again at 3". Turn the cardstock back upright and remove the bottom left panel.
Round the corners (if desired) and add Sticky Strip or other strong adhesive to the sides of the bottom right panel.
Apply designer paper to the inside, then fold up the pocket and adhere.
Now finish the inside! I printed out the Gift List and "Receipts" on the computer. The gifts are from the Sugarplums Christmas Scenery Set. I colored them with Copics and cut them out. I placed an eyelet on the front and back panels to hold the ribbon in place when opened.
Here's the front of the organizer. The tree is also from the Scenery Set, and the sentiment is from Boutique Sentiments by AmyR Stamps. I again colored with Copics, and I added Stickles to the tree ornaments. The brads serve two purposes: they embellish the front and also hold the gift list pages in place on the inside! It will be easy to remove the pages and insert new ones next year!
I hope this gives you some good ideas! Certainly you could do this with any stamps, but these images are perfect, don't you think?!? ;)

This is such a great idea! I love it. the colours look great together - so festive.
I was just looking around your blog to find your name and was resolved that you didn't want it known! But from looking at the comments here it must be that your name is Christina. Forgive me if I am wrong. I just wanted to say that this is really a great idea. I am 58 yrs old and believe me when you get to be my age there are not too many things that you haven't seen before. This really is simple but useful and fun!
Thanks for the idea.
Good idea and very nice realization!
Bye from Italy.

This is just such a fabulous idea! Simple and easy to make, but so clever. I know all the shoppers in my family would LOVE it. :)
This is so cute, Christina, and such a great idea! I like how you use the ribbon to tie it closed!
