[Tex/LaTex] “Page intentionally left blank” article

Question

How would I create a "page intentionally left blank" wherever I wish to put one? Specifically, I'd like to place a page like that between the title page and ToC, and between the list of figures and main matter. I'm currently using

\newpage\null\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage

to keep them blank, but I'd like to add that identifier.

I've looked through this article pretty thoroughly, How do I make pages which were "intentionally left blank"?, and I'm not sure what is specific to scrbook and what could be used generally.

MWE below:

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
  ...
\end{titlepage}
\newpage\null\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage
\setcounter{page}{1}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\listoffigures
\newpage\null\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage
... 
\end{document}

Thanks in advance!

Here is a suggestion using scrlayer to define an layer page style for these pages:

\usepackage{scrlayer}
\DeclareNewLayer[
    foreground,
    %textarea,% use only the textarea
    contents={%
      \parbox[b][\layerheight][c]{\layerwidth}
        {\centering The space above and below the message
          intentionally is left blank.}%
    }
  ]{blankpage.fg}
\DeclarePageStyleByLayers{blank}{blankpage.fg}

Note that you can still use a package of your choice for the other headers and footers of the other pages. In the example below fancyhdr is used.

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}

\usepackage{scrlayer}
\DeclareNewLayer[
    foreground,
    %textarea,% use only the textarea
    contents={%
      \parbox[b][\layerheight][c]{\layerwidth}
        {\centering The space above and below the message
          intentionally is left blank.}%
    }
  ]{blankpage.fg}
\DeclarePageStyleByLayers{blank}{blankpage.fg}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
  \Huge Titlepage
\end{titlepage}
\newpage\null\thispagestyle{blank}\newpage
\setcounter{page}{1}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\listoffigures
\newpage\null\thispagestyle{blank}\newpage
\blinddocument
\end{document}
