Need a fun and easy gift idea? What about a stationery set, totally coordinated and beautifully presented in a folder?
Here’s the outside—
And when you open it, you’ll see it’s filled with handmade cards and matching envelopes—
- Begin with an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of patterned paper. I’m using the Felicity collection from Bo Bunny.
- Place the 8 1/2″ side against the top of the scoring tool. Score at 3/4″, 1 1/4″, 7 1/4″ and 7 3/4″
- Turn the paper so the 11″ side is at the top of the scoring tool. Score at 2″, 2 1/2″, 7″ and 7 1/2″.
- Crease all the lines. Use scissors or a paper trimmer to cut away the excess as shown on the diagram (below).
- Fold up the stationery holder. I’ve filled mine with cards (and envelopes) that measure 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, which are decorated with other papers from the Felicity collection.
- Secure with a magnet if desired, then wrap with silk ribbon.
I originally showed this collection on Create and Craft television in the US. For more great shows and demos, please tune in by watching it live on TV or online.
