Gift Folio ft. 'Blooms N Berries' Tutorial

Hello friends!

This is Priti here, and I am here to share an inspiration project using the "Blooms & Berries" collection and the "Cut & Create Embellishment Sheets" from Papericious. This paper pack is absolutely stunning with gorgeous prints and florals. So I decided to make a love theme folio which I am planning to gift to my brother and his wife on their anniversary; and I am super happy with the result. The folio looked so pretty with these beautiful papers and cut & create embellishments. I also have a tutorial to share and I had worked out the measurements specially keeping these papers and the photo needs in mind.

Let's have a look at few more pictures and close ups before I take you through the pictorial tutorial.

Here is the tutorial. I have tried to keep it simple by writing all the measurements on the pieces also along with the scoring details.

Step 1: Base Page - Cut a piece of card stock measuring 9 3/8"x 11"

Step 2: Left side Flap - Cut a piece of card stock measuring 6.75"x 11". Score at 0.5" on the 6.75" side and apply double sided tape on the bumpy side.

Step 3: Right side flap - Cut a piece of card stock measuring 9 7/8"x11". Score at 0.5" on the 9 7/8" side and apply double sided tape on the bumpy side.

Step 4: Right side pocket - Cut a piece of card stock measuring 6.75"x 11 7/8". Score at 0.5" on the 6.75" side. Turn the piece and again score at 0.5" on both the sides of the 11 7/8" side. Apply double sided tape on the dented side and miter the corners as shown.

Step 5: Left side pocket - Cut a piece of card stock measuring 3.5"x7 1/8". Score at 0.5" on the 3.5" side. Turn the piece and again score at 0.5" on both the sides of the 7 1/8" side. Apply double sided tape on the dented side and miter the corners. 

Step 6: Remove the tape backing and attach both the left and right side flaps to the base page with the taped part below the base page. Take care not to overlap the scored lines. 

Step 7: Now, fold the scored edges of both the pocket pieces and attach these pockets on the flaps as shown below.

The folio is ready. So simple and easy, right? It looks like this when the flaps are closed.

You can decorate this folio exactly like mine using the new "Blooms & Berries" Collection and the "Cut & Create Embellishment Sheets".
