Lavender folio
Hello everyone - my name is Robbie and I am your guest designer for this month. Thank you for visiting the Tres Jolie blog.
This month I am using the Tres Jolie scrapbook kit. This kit was very popular and has sold out. There are some gorgeous papers as well fun ephemera to use. I chose to make you a folio you can use to document your special occasion. To see how you can make this folio, watch the video below. Please note the video is recorded as I made it as it am a work as you go person. The Step by step directions are in an order the makes sense for a tutorial.
Step by Step
If you have questions at any time you can refer to the video above.
Cut your paper using the measurements in the photo.
Fold and burnish all score lines. Attach 1 large flap to the left inside of the folio base. Make sure the flap is attached to fold out. Attach the other large flap to the right inside of the folio base making sure the flap is attached to fold out. It should look like this when they are attached.
Leaving the flaps open we will attach the 2 smaller inside flaps. Take the rectangular tip out and miter the corners on the 1/2" scored section. Add it to the inside of the open right flap. It will look like this.
The last flap to add is the one that goes on the inside back layer. Fold on score line and miter the corners on the fold. Add it to the middle of the inside back panel so that the fold of the flap is just inside the fold line of the back panel. It will look like this.
Cut 4 gold layers using the measurement in the photo.
Add a gold layer to the front back and inside of folio. See photo below.
Cut the pattern paper and add the larger panel to the inside left panel of the folio.
Add the smaller panel to the inside right panel of the folio.
To make the pocket, fold on the score lines. Cut out the small square at the bottom of the score lines. Miter all the corners of the piece. Dry fit the the folded pocket to ensure it fits onto the gold panel and adjust if needed. Add the pocket to the left side of the inside panel.
To cover the pocket, cut your gold foil and pattern paper using the measurements in the photo. Layer then onto the pocket with gold foil first.
Cut gold foil and pattern paper for the large flaps. Layer the gold foil and pattern paper on the large flaps.
To do the tip out, cut your paper using the photo measurements and add to the right side tip out.
The final flap is the inside middle one. Cut your paper using the photo measurements and then add it to the flap.
For the pocket I made a simple folder and decorated it. I also used some tag dies I had and cut them out and decorated them also.
Here are photos of the completed folio with decorations added. The video shows how to add glitter to the flowers and then how to attach the lace ribbon.
