Well it is great to say hi again! I have been wanting to get on here and say hello, but I had such a huge weekend!!! It is that busy season again, but I also had that Hostess Appreciation Day here on Saturday……WHat a day that was!!! So fabulous, and I can’t wait to share with you all that happened, but my priority was to get this Make it Monday up here for you!

So you will have to be a little patient, and I promise to bring you all the deets, and photos tommorrow (tues), but for now here is the Make it Monday for this week….Enjoy!

Card Folder          

Materials required:

 

• Paper trimmer
• Bone Scorer
• Ribbon
• Crop-a-dile (hole punch)
• Stamps
• Stamp pads
• Mat pack
• DS paper
• 12 x 12 cardstock
• Scallop edge punch

Step 1:

 

Take your 12 x 12 cardstock and cut 1 inch of one side and 2.5 inches off the other side.

Step 2:

 

Score your cardstock at 6cm’s in from the side on the long side. Then score it at 14cm (which is half way) from the side. Your cardstock should look like this once you have scored it.

Step 3:

 

Cut your cardstock at an angle from the base up to the point where the score lines crosses over.

Step 4:

 

Add tape to the outer edge of the inside strip. This will seal the side and make a little pocket.

 

 WHoops a bit blurry this one!

 Step 5:

 

Decorate the front of your folder. I have used DS paper, the scallop edge punch, and the Embrace life stamp set, with Ginger blossoms paper.

Step 6:

 

Take your Crop-a-dile (or hole punch) and punch one hole just in from the edge, through both layers. Do this also to the other side of the folder keeping it in line, so it looks like this.

 

Step 7:

 

Feed a long strip of ribbon starting from the outside and weaving in through the centre, leaving the tails to the outside edge of the folder.

Step 8:

 

Stamp up your co-ordinating envelopes

Step 9:

 

Make two identical cards which will go into the centre of the folder.

Step 10:

 

Place your envelopes and cards into the inside of your folder under the ribbon.

Step 11:

 

Close your folder and tie it closed with the ribbon tails

For this one I have used the Afternoon tea DS paper, Live your dream stamp set, and Chocolate, Guava, Soft sky cardstock.

The template for this card folder, I got from the Workshop WOW Dvd I received from Stampin’Up at the Incentive trip this year, however the projects I have made are my ideas.

So there you have it. I hope you like them. I actually made these with my team the other night, and the ladies at the Hostess Day loved them as well. They are so cute in real life, and I will be making a ton of them as little Christmas gifts this year!

Right, better head to bed, as I am knackered, and have to be up at 5:30am for the gym!

Talk soon!
