As promised when I shared
my Christmas poinsettia folder, I have some more no-cut patterned paper folders to share today and a tutorial so you can make them too. These are all the same size as this
Christmas folder too.
Lighthearted Leaves in the Woods
First up is a folder made with paper from the
Into the Woods pack. The two bold patterns played together nicely with each other & a maple image from the
Lighthearted Leaves stamp set coloured with Stampin' Write markers (pear pizzazz, tangelo twist & daffodil delight). I used some thick bakers twine instead of ribbon.
I coloured a smaller image on the insert cards, together with images from the fab
B.Y.OP. stamp set - fantastic for gift giving.
Here's one more pic showing the inside without the cards. I really liked how the 2 patterns worked together. What do you think?
Bohemian Teen Graduate
This folder is the same size as the others, but I've decorated it to have a landscape orientation. I've used paper from the
Bohemian dsp pack & this one really illustrates my fave pattern combination for these folders - a bold pattern teamed with a coordinating small print. The sentiment is equally bold - again from the
B.Y.O.P. stamp set, which as you can now see means Buy Your Own Present. I think this is a great sentiment to use for a teen or fun loving adult.
I've used a co-ordinated sentiment on the card inserts. I also attached a fake gift card so you can see how I usually display them. To attach the gift card, I added a little squiggle of tombow glue on the insert, then left it to dry. Once dry, it remains tacky to the touch & works like a temporary bond. Alternatively, you could just include a little pocket on the card to slip the gift card in.
Here's a final pic of the inside without the cards. See how well the patterns work together. Love!
No-cut Patterned Paper Folder Tutorial
So now you've seen more folders I've made a
full tutorial you can download & start your own folder obsession. This includes a step by step photo tutorial, template, tips for choosing your paper & lots of project pics. You'll see how simple it is to do....& maybe addictive too.
Download Tip: when the document opens, choose the download option (icon with a
down pointing arrow & horizontal line), not the share option. Thanks
for your help.
These pics show the tutorial pages. Please don't download these though as they're just small .jpg images to show you what's included :-)
A little request - This tutorial took time to put together so if you choose to use it & share a project, I'd really appreciate if you could link back to this post so others can enjoy it too. If you do share your own, I'd love you to to leave a comment too.
Thanks again to

original tutorial I adapted. It's much appreciated.
I hope you like my projects & the tutorial. Remember to comment & pin some pics for later inspiration. If you have any q's just leave a comment. Here are some collages of today's folders to make pinning easier.
Well that's all from me today. Thanks for visiting & hope to see you here again soon.
Inky wishes, Di
