I decided I was a bit mad for deciding to do it but I charged up the flip video, got out my gorilla pod thingy for it (as I write this I wonder why I didn't use the big tripod - I wouldn't have needed to put the chair on the table...oh well, maybe next time - if there is a next time!). I said 'umm' way too many times and not sure I like hearing my own voice. Here goes if you are interested...
Card Folio
I
have put together a little project for those of you who want something quick & easy to do – it could be the perfect gift for a birthday,
mothers day, teachers gift, to say thank you, or maybe something nice
for yourself...
My materials were purchased from Scrapbook Outlet and my Stampin Up demonstrator. Here's a link to the beautiful 'Authentique' paper I used.
You will need:
- a 12 x 12 inch piece of heavy double sided patterned paper that you like
- 3 x A4 Sheets of card suitable for making into 6 note cards
- 6 x C6 envelopes
- approximately 50cm of ribbon that co-ordinates with your patterned paper
- a collection of small patterned paper scraps
- basic tools e.g. adhesive such as double sided tape or white glue, black ink pad, scissors, a paper trimmer and a ruler (you could use the measurements on your trimmer)
- sentiments stamps (happy birthday, get well, thank you...)
And now for the video...The materials:
*omitted to say that you will also need some kind of glue or adhesive
The Workshop:
Hope this gave you some ideas :-)

lol lcd TV's, U Tube Videos ... who needs the actual tutor in the classroom these days ......!!! Very clever. AB
Lara, I loved them. Awesome effort and to be honest I didn't notice the um's, thats because I was absorbed in what you were doing. I was wondering what we could get Mike's mum for mothers day and I am going to make the card folio. I know she will use it and will appreciate it because it is handmade. I like the strip that you put down the side and it made me think of some uses for the edges of paper I have. I love that this only takes less then 10 mins and is gorgeous and practical. Thanks for the inspiration. I will post photos of my effort on my blog.
That was great! A pretty project ... and so well explained ... think I might need to make one or two myself ... only, I know I over complicate these things and make the cards too elaborate and then it takes ages ... and it's not necessary ...
Love little project, Lara - and so well explained. Go you!
looks awesome ... now away to look at the video ...
