You & Me True Fit File Folio scoring guide

Many of you have asked how I scored the 12x12 file folio - so here we go :O)

When you get it out of the packet the tab is on the top on the right.

 Turn the folio inside out so that the tab is now at the top on the left hand side.

 Place it in the paper trimmer (still with this tab on the top left) and score it at 7.5" from the left.

 Then turn the folio 90 degrees to the right and now score it at 6" from the FOLD.

That's it :O) now trim off the tab part and open it up and fold up the bottom 4.5" and then fan fold it to make 4 sections of 6" wide. Decorate it and secure between the pockets with liquid glass :O)
Hope that helps :O)

You and Me - National Scrapbooking Month Kit. Part 2 :O)

Okay this is what I did with the rest of the paper in the kit. Yes I added chocolate,colonial white cardstock and a little desert sand cardstock to this to make the card bases and a little cocoa and colonial white ribbon - but all of the other embellishments are from the kit. Where there looks like there is colored cardstock - eg Spring Iris  or Smoothie - that is where I have taken a piece of colonial white cardstock and then rubbed it with an ink pad or sponged ink onto it to color it.

I have listed the book and pattern the cards were based on underneath each photo for you.

So are you ready. . . . . . . . . . ????   Okay here we go with the 26 cards I made :O)

You and Me - National Scrapbooking Month Kit.

I am absolutely loving this kit. It comes with a gorgeous set of My Acyrlic stamps, Background & Texture paper, colonial white cardstock, ribbon, dimensional elements, Mocha opaques and the cutting guide and instructions to make 2 beautiful double layouts.

BUT if you don't scrapbook here is the mini album which I made using a 12x12 True Fit File Folio ( X1404).

 This front cover was based on the 5.5 x 4.25 card front from Wishes- 'Collage" 

 Page 1 pocket is based on Wishes - 'Framework"

 Page 2 pocket is based on Wishes - 'Simple Expression'

 Page 3 pocket is based on Wishes - 'Gallery'

Page 4 pocket is based on Wishes - 'It's a wrap'

The only other product I added was a couple of sheets of Chocolate cardstock. I hope you love it as much as I do.  If you want to know how you can get your kit - let me know :O)

Folded flower card.

This is the pretty card which I am teaching this month. It features the Sweetheart Level 2 paper and 3 stamp sets.
The scalloped border at the top comes from D1336 - Cupcake sprinkles. this mimics the scallops of the flower, The 'screen' background comes from D1477 - Universal backgrounds and provides a neutral pattern which accents the flower, The last set I used was the sentiment from D1361 - Thank you.
I used Black, Petal and Hollyhock exclusive inks and a black button brad from Z1393 Black mini medley.
Hope you like it :O)
