Hello friends! Today I have an upcycled file folio tutorial to share with you. This basic four section pocket folder can be used for many purposes, such as photo storage, journaling or as a mini book. I'm using mine to store fussy cut ephemera collections, mainly the Fruits and Flowers Fussy Cut Collection and Herbs and Spices Fussy Cut Collection by Junk with Steph (digital designs). I recently joined the Junk with Steph design team, simply because I adore her images and wanted to get to play! My only problem is that these are ADDICTIVE! I can't stop printing and cutting and I needed a way to store my new ephemera for easy access, hence the file folio concept. I hope to create new folios for different kits in the future and have a full collection. Here are the basic cutting & scoring steps: Start with a center tabbed file folder. Score 2.5" from top and bottom (while folded). Score down the middle at 4.5". Cut away small slits between the bottom panels to form pockets. (Sorry the image below is upside down, but you will get the idea.) Cut the third panel on top and bottom 1.5" from score line. Cut away on the score line of the 1, 2 and 4th panel. For my folio, I used an old typed prayer book to cover the folder panels and some old 6x6" scrapbook paper to cover the pocket flaps. This size of folio is perfect to use up your 6x6" paper stash. I stitched around the first and last panel and added a few college elements. I used washi tape, a bit of Tim Holtz ephemera, vintage postage stamps from my collection and rubber stamp cancellations from the Darkroom Door Global Postmarks set. I LOVE this stamp set! I made a quick flip through video for you. I truly hope you are inspired by this project and will give this project a go. I would love to see your creations, so please share a link with me in the comments. Hugs, Autumn
Hi This listing is for this handmade file folder folio. It has various pockets and places to explore. Although it is not a filled folio, I have added some tags all of which I have backed with tea stained paper, so they will be good for journalling. There is also a tri fold journal spot in the centre pocket which is held closed with a book page band. It has a gold elastic button closure. A great gift for a paper lover or just for yourself. Thankyou for looking.

~ vintage papers made in Sweden
I was at the Back To School sales this week with my son and I saw pocket folders for 20 cents. I started thinking that for that cheap, I could figure out some way to use them to organize my magazines and ephemera for junk journals and altered books.

This guest design month has certainly flown by for me. I want to thank Kim and Bonnie for having me in to share a few projects with you. It's been a real treat, and I hope you'll come visit me at my blog sometime soon. Today I have a mini album made from file folders and featuring Tim Holtz beautiful Wallflower papers. There are a huge amount of photos, so I'll try to keep my explanation simple and short. I started with three full size file folders, not the minis that are out there. Cut to 6 1/2" wide. Trim off the tab making it 17 1/2". Cut three of these pieces. Fold in each side to form a W. The left side that had the tab will be about 1/4" longer. Add 1/4" Scor Tape to three sides as shown above. Remove backing and adhere to section to the left. This will form a pocket. Your W is now glued together in the center. The shorter flap will be your cover... the longer flap will now be adhered to your next W.... like this. Apply the Scor Tape to form a side pocket when adhering the sections together. When you have all three sections put together, it will look like this. You should have three top pockets and two side pockets. I inked all the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink then gave it a vintage look by flicking on some water drops. I inked a piece of Idea-ology white seam binding with the Walnut Stain, Bundled Sage, Vintage Photo DI... and glued it around the book in the center to form my closure. I did some machine stitching to my front cover sheet and adhered it to the book. For the spine I used a piece of Canvas Corp natural canvas and some lace from my stash. I added Tim's papers to the pages along with some stenciling (Burlap Layering Stencil)... both Distress ink to some and gesso to others... as well as the tags I made from the file folder scraps and Alterations File Tabs die for the five pockets. These I topped with Idea-ology Chit Chat stickers. For the first page I made a pocket using a scrap from the 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk collection. The wood icons are Prima's Time Traveler. I cut a tag from more of the FF scraps. I folded it at about 1 1/2" and tucked it under the patterned paper. The fly chipboard piece is from Prima's Cartographer. The birds were cut with Alterations Birds in Flight Decorative Strip, the foliage with their Spring Greenery. The gems are Prima Say It In Crystals. Die cuts from Tim's Expedition Ephemera. Stamping with Tim's Nature Walk. The butterflies were cut with Alteration's Mini Butterflies. Idea-ology Pen Nib. I embellished the cover with a Prima TT wood icon, some flowers from my stash, more Spring Greenery foliage, and a bit of green Spanish Moss tucked in for more texture. The back cover is just kraft cardstock with stamping covered in a coat of gel medium for protection. I know I tried to squeeze in a lot of info here, so if you have any questions, please ask away. Thanks so much again, ladies, for the opportunity to share some projects with you. It's been a delight. Thanks for stopping by!
