Hi, Lara here today! I love to create projects that are fairly simple with some complex elements. This little Enjoy the Now Folio is fun and easy to make. The folio base only took one sheet of 8.5 x 11″ cardstock. You could also change any of the measurements to adjust the size you want.
Enjoy the Now Folio Base
Fold one sheet of cardstock in half the long way so it is 4.25 x 11″, score the bottom at 2″, and fold up to create a pocket. I cut the slight v in the center so it would close and reduce the paper bulk. The sides are adhered with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Folio Cover
For the front cover of the folio, I cut a piece of patterned paper just a tiny bit less than 8.75 x 4 so that it has about a .125″ border. Adhere it down with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Layer all the elements and use a few of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix under the gold flower and the pink ticket.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles and Foils
Using the purple foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and the 3D Foam Circles White Mix, I created little metallic circles that give a little height and an unexpected pop of color. Don’t forget to place the foil color side facing you before rubbing the foil into the circles. I added a little bit of gold thread to the slide frame.
Here are close-ups of the elements on the front cover, the stamp, and the label.
Finishing Touches
Create a tag and add some seam binding ribbon and some line work with a pen. It would also be fun to add several tilt ins and flip ups. Also, think about using it as a gift card or extra page element on a scrapbook page.
I really enjoy working with all these different types of adhesives. WHAT is your favorite adhesive?
Happy Creating!
