My Tri Fold Folio with Gimme Some Sugar.

 Here is a my Tri Fold Foliol, I used the Gimme Some Sugar paper pack.  If you like this paper pack and want to get it you better hurry it is in our going soon category so once it is gone, its gone.

I followed a tutorial from Country Craft Creations then added my own spin on it.  I love how it turned out.  I will be making more of these.  Great Gift Idea.

Here is the front and the Gimme Some Sugar Compliments pack.  On the Cover I used some of the cut apart cards in the paper pack and some stickers form the Compliments pack.  I love the card that says "just roll with it"

Here you can see the pocket page that you can slide the small size legal pad and still have pocket to put notes in or recipe cards in.  It also had a piece of ribbon for the pen holder.

When you open it up all the way you will have a angle pocket to store things in as well.  I added a tuck spot with a chipboard piece for the compliments pack.  Its says" Make your words soft and sweet- you never know which ones you'll eat.  So True!
The far right page has a little box that will hold a pad of post-it-notes.  That is very handy.  I added one of the pieces from the compliments pack so you could tuck things behind it too.

Here is the little box open so you can see it better.

You can see all the folds and flaps better from this angle.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  I used this as one of my giveaway prizes and a craft fair that I went to.

Prickly Pear Folio

Just made another cute Folio form Country Craft Creations.  I used the Prickly Pear Workshop Your Way G1128 to make it and used the Prickly Pear Complements X7221c that come in the pack and Prickly Pear Sequins Z3324 to decorate the Folio.

I can't believe how versatile this pack is.  I love all the colors that it has.  You can use the more muted colors or the vibrant ones for different looks.  I just used them all and I love how it turned out.

It starts out with a 6" x10" piece of cardstock.  I choose Poppy then you score at 3 1/2, 4, 7 1/2, 8.
Cut your mats at 3 3/8 x 5 7/8 and 1 7/8 x 5 7/8.  I used the zip strips that I cut off of the paper to trim the spines inside and out.  I corner rounded the outside edges. You will need to trim them down 3/8 x 5 7/8

I used magnets for the closure.  I used the small ones

The pockets are 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 and scored at 1/4" on 3 sides.  You might have to play with this a bit to make it work. The mat is 1 7/8 x 2 1/8.  The bookmark that goes inside is 1 5/8 x 5 1/2.

The center pocket is 4 3/8 x 3 1/2 score at 1/2" on 3 side.  The mat is 3 1/4 x 2 7/8

The pages are 7 x 5 3/4 you will need 5 of them scored at 3 1/2

You will need to cut 5 tags at 3 x 5

I used Paradise Assortment Bakers Twine from my stash.  The colors when perfect with papers.  It has 4 different colors so I used them all and one of them twice.  You can see what I used here.

I lined up the folded edge to the eyelet and marked them both.  I then poked a hole for the Bakers Twine

I made a pocket for the inside of the cover, punched it with the scallop punch and glued the 3 sides down to the cover.   I glued a couple of the pages together at the bottom only.  Folded over the top corner and inserted one of the tags.

 Here you can see the each page in held in with the bakers twine.  You will pull all 5 of the twine through the eyelets.  Then tie the on the out side of folio

I use the cut apart page of the paper pack for embellishing my pockets and on for the front closure.

It was fun to decorate.

***Note to self:  If I make another one I will use 3 sets of the small magnets on the closure instead of just one.
