Coupon Book Tutorial

I saw this coupon book in the SU catty and my friend bought the coupon set from SU so we made these as Christmas gifts for Grandparents :)

I took my base paper and and cut it 7x4 and scored it at 1 1/4 and 1/4 from that one.

After stamping the coupons out I perferated them and cut the corners and decorated the coupons.
I made holes through all the layers of the coupons and the top and bottom of the background piece to fit the binder clasp into it (I got a whole box of these at Staples for cheap)

I added ribbon to the clasp after putting it all together! This would make a great Velantines day gift too :)

What a gorgeous way to use those old style file clasps. [They were never a favorite office supply of mine!] Lovely coupon idea too. Thanks
