File Folder Cards

These file folder cards are so quick and easy to make.  I was looking at some I had made last year when the Envelope Board came out and decided that the new Motley Monsters could be used for this along with the stamp set Fall Fest.  These 2 sets are from the new Holiday Mini that will be activated August 28th for our SU customers.  It is well worth looking at.  I decided to use this cute face on the pumpkin because it makes him look so smug.  He looks like he knows something we don't. Then when contemplating the inside of the card the faces where chosen.  Cardstock of choice was Basic Black and Sahara Sand.  For the second file folder card from the same Designer Series paper and stamp set I used the leaves.  This set of stamps has a matching set of framelits called Fun Fall Framelits. Can be purchased in a bundle which gives you a 15% savings.  The cardstock on this file card is Tangelo Twist (new in color), Sahara Sand, Basic Black and Whisper White.  Ink used was Sahara Sand, Tangelo Twist and Crushed Curry. Makes for some cute cards and the inside finishing makes the card even better. Measuremetns for making the card are: Card base is basic card 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 and score at 4-1/4.  Trim off a 1/2 from one side of the card this will be card front. Layer your Designer series paper 5-1/2 x 3 -11/16 before you punch.  Then put the corner of your cardstock in punch board at the edge of the little cylinder you see inside the punch and punch, then move the cardstock over to the 3" inch mark and punch.  Turn card completely to other side and do the same thing.  Decorate it your way.

I don't have the equipment to do videos, so I like to watch YouTube for video's and they have a great one from Angie Kennedy-Juda on how to use the punch board to make a file folder card and others but check her out here..  This will help you with all your measurements that I have given you above.  Very clean, precise video.  Please check out Angie's block too.    If you need any Stampin'Up supplies please click on catalog in sidebar and it will take you to my online store.
