I've shown you these Note Card Folios before, and Liz won one as blog candy. This time its with one of my faves - Cutie Pie!The directions for the folio itself are easy peasy! Holding your paper vertically, score at 2". Then holding your paper horizontally, score at 5 1/2.
Fold on all score lines with a bone folder. Decorate the cover however you wish, and using a hole punch, place a hole in each pocket side to thread ribbon through to hold the folio shut. Edited to add: To answer a reader question....I don't secure the inside at all, its only held closed by the ribbon ties on the side.
You all know that I just love my "Think Happy Thoughts" set. Its totally affordable and I use it all the time. Looks just sweet with the scalloped circle punch! This was a great excuse to pull it out again!
Notecard mat is made with cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and the actual note made of neutral cardstock 1/4 inch smaller all around.I like to decorate them either with a simple stamp, or a strip of designer paper with a matching accent.
In this case, I thought the Three For You punch makes a sweet little adornment (and um, was super quick!) I also added a vintage brad to the center of each flower.
The folio will hold four cards on one side, and four envies on the other.Voila! You're done! Have a great day everyone!]
Edited to add: I wanted to respond to Laura's question. Believe it or not, despite all the things I've made with it. I'm still on my FIRST set of Cutie Pie paper!!

Sensational! Very pretty. I was going to look for a template for a portfolio tonight. Yours fits the bill beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
You do great projects! TFS. A question: how do you affix your inside flap in the middle crease? I've done another version of this only different. thanx
I've just been paging through the past couple of months of your blog and I love it! Thank you for all the wonderful & easy 3-D ideas!! I am so intimidated by 3-D... but these I can do and they'll make great Christmas presents!! :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I love this! I'm trying to CASE it, but I also don't understand how the inside flap stays shut. Also, how are you doing the ribbon to tie everything shut?
TIA!
