Purebred Folio Tutorial

Hello, and good morning.  I have the tutorial available for my Purebred Folio available on YouTube today!  This is my 3rd design team project for Country Craft Creations.
 I am using Authentique's "Purebred" paper collection and you will LOVE IT!  It is sooooooo pretty!
 This is a fun folio with a lot of space to put your pictures of your beloved pets.  
 It includes waterfall pocket features and an expandable envelope among other fun interactions.  
It also features a few new rethinkings  (is that a word?) of closures that you won't want to miss.

 Head on over to YouTube for the tutorial here.

 Head on over to Country Craft Creations for your supplies here.  

 Below is the Cutting Guide in pictures, and following is a list of the pieces/supplies needed.

Notes:


On the blog there will be a cutting guide to aid in the cutting of the card stock.  I used a total of 13 pieces of card stock, 7 in Grey and 6 in Kraft.  I used approximately 13 full sheets of 12 x 12 patterned paper (which included 3 of the Authentique Spectrum papers).  The cut parts are not included in the paper count.  I added more Kraft and Grey card stock for mats on the outer covers, spines, and for various cut aparts (not included in the total card stock count.)  II also used 3 large magnets and 14 lengths of seam binding (12” in length each).  If you only use two strands to do the folio closure (I used 6, 3 on each side), then the count would be 10 lengths.  I give this information to the best of my ability, and tried to keep track of the amount of supplies used.  If you have questions please let me know.  


Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

    RE: PUREBRED FOLIO

    Hi Michelle,

    Thanks again for sharing your creativity, time, and effort in putting out the tutorial and the cutting guide. It is truly, truly appreciated.

    If I wanted to try using chipboard for the base, do you think I could use the same measurements? I'm trying to figure out how it would all work if I needed the spacing between the chipboard pieces. Your thoughts?

    Thanks!
    Ann

      You absolutely could use chipboard. I would wrap it just like a wrapped chipboard album cover using 1/4" score tape between all of the pieces of the outside of the folio. I hope this helps. Sorry it took so long to get to you, I had troubles with my comments and replies on the blog. I finally figured out the problem. Take care!
