Card Portfolio & Step by Step Tutorial


As promised here is the tutorial to the card portfolio I had posted on an earlier post this month. I have included some instructions. I can email you the step by step instructions (with color photos!) if you contact me. This is a super easy to make gift idea. I have made it several times and people always love it.



Supplies Needed:


  • Crumb Cake CS

  • Elegant Soiree DSP


  • Very Vanilla 1/4 grosgrain ribbon


  • Perfect Punches stamp set

  • Scallop Oval Punch


  • Soft Suede Classic Stampin' pad


  • Sticky Strip

Directions:

  1. Score your 8 1/2 x 11 piece of CS at 5 1/2 on the long, 11 inch side.


  2. Score your CS at 2 1/4 on the short, 8 1/2 side.


  3. Fold your CS on the 5 1/2 scored line. Cut a small diagonal piece from the bottom to the 2 1/4 line as shown.


  4. Open your CS and put sticky strip on the two areas shown below.



  5. Insert your cards and envelopes (four cards on one side and four envelopes on the other side).



  6. Close your portfolio and embellish. I glued ribbon around the portfolio and then added a 5 1/4 x 6 1/4 piece of DSP on the portfolio and embellished.

Try it and let me know what you think. Leave me a comment if you want to see more tutorials on my blog.
