Hello friends, hope you are all keeping well! Nearly a month has passed already since I last posted here, and since it is Friday, I thought it was probably time to share a little project and a freebie once again, as I know how many of you like these.
So here first of all, the project with some brief descriptions:
Here you can see the outside of the folder which was made from a brown file folder. I cut it to about 6 1/2 inches high, trimmed of the tab and then folded it concertina style, into 4 equal parts more or less, each measuring about 4 3/4 inches wide. I numbered each of the panels and then cut the papers I wanted to use to size and inked all the edges. The reason I numbered all the panels, is because each one is slightly different in size, and I measured the papers one at the time and numbered them too, thus making sure they all fitted. Hope this makes sense. I then adhered them to all the panels of my folder.
Next I created a little notebook, slightly smaller than the folder, out of a mix of printed papers and coffee stained papers. I sewed them together with a 3 hole pamphlet stitch into the actual folder.
Here you can see one of the inside pages.
On this photo you can see some of the panels and on the left the back of the little notebook.
Here you and see how on some of the panels I added pockets, which I then filled with the tags, journaling cards and ephemera you can see below.
Here are some of the other panels on the back of the folder when they are folded out.
And the photos above and below show some close ups of the pockets decorated with some elements of the freebie.
The papers I used to decorate this folder are all from the
Garden Grunge Collection in my
Etsy shop, they match the freebie, but of course you can use that with any other papers too.
Like usual, this is just the low resolution image of the freebie. If you want the high res. version for printing, please email me (see sidebar) and I will send it to you. As you can see there are little tags, tabs to add to tags or journaling cards, postage stamps, and some bits to fussycut and decorate your projects. Enjoy and like always, thank you for visiting!
