Cut 1 piece of black cardstock - 5x12; Score 1 inch on the left side of with the 5 inch across the top of the scoreboard. Adhere the 1 inch flap to the back page of your folio. 
Cut 4 pieces of black cardstock 8 3/8 x 11 7/8 inches; Score 1/2 inch on the left side of the pages. Adhere these tot he 1 inch spine. You will have 2 pages on each spine.

****See video for more details*****


Here are the page measurements - 8 3/8 x 11 7/8 inches; Score 1/2 inch on the left side of the pages. Adhere these tot he 1 inch spine. You will have 2 pages on each spine. 
Here is the measurements for the side flap, which is the closure. 5x12; Score 1 inch on the left side of with the 5 inch across the top of the scoreboard. Adhere the 1 inch flap to the back page of your folio. 

Here is where the double doors that are 4x12 are to be adhered.  4 x 12; Score 3/8 inch on the left side and adhere these 3/8 inch flaps to midsection of the spine, they will lay in between the pages. 


Next you can measure your pattern papers and adhere them down.
I have photos below of how I completed each page using the ephemera and metal wings and chipboard pieces from the kit.  ***For more details you can view the video tutorial************

For the front of the Folio I used chipboard pieces using the vintage gold pearl ex powder from the April 2025 Mixed Media Kit. Also with placing down one of the wooden Unicorns from a previous project I did sharing how to create this unicorn. 
First I took my versa mark and rubbed it on the chipboard and then dabbed the powder on top, then I took my glossy accents and added it on top of the chipboard and set aside to dry. By the time you get done cutting your papers and adhering them down they chipboard should be dry. I also used some ephemera from the Scrapbook Kit. 


Before I started my pages I took the large frames and backed them with acetate as well as some of the smaller frames as well. I also used some black cardstock to back up some of the ephemera and other items. 

I did leave a lot of white space on some of the pages for larger photos or for placing down multiple photos. 



For this page I did the same technique for the chipboard film strip and then adhered down some ephemera pieces down on top. I cut out some black photo mats and added corners to them. 


Down below I used  some of the sentiments from the 12x12 pages and backed up black cardstock. 




Here are the two double doors, I just used the cut apart cards on them for journaling or adding small photos.
