Forever & Always Folio Storage

February 19, 2020

I have to tell you!

If you have any spare time and love to make your own Memory Keeping Folios and Albums, you need to check out Vanessa Peter of Scrappin It Up. She is great!!

I signed up for her email list and was sent an email before long welcoming me and in that email was a free tutorial for a Note Pad Holder! I haven't done that one yet but I did do the ones she sent in her 2nd email. That was the Forever & Always Folio Mini Album Series. You can find my flip through videos here or on my Facebook Page, We Are HappiLeaStamppin but she has construction videos for each one on her YouTube Channel!

She started out with just 3 folios but while doing her live videos on her Facebook Page, it was suggested to do 4 and they could be for each season, so she did... and added a storage box for them!

This is really a simple style of box and can be sized for any project you have. Being as I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I have not had to purchase any chipboard as of yet! I keep the ones that come with our Specialty DSP and other Specialty Papers. So if you are also a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator or Customer who has these paper... Keep those pieces! I also keep the heavier white pieces that come with the regular DSP that the name of the paper is on. It can be used as well if you don't want as heavy of a cover. I used it with the Celebrate The Season Christmas Trifold folio I did following the video tutorial by Ginger of My Sisters Scrapper. I did change a few things and add a few things but it is completely inspired by this folio she designed!

I used to use black hockey tape to cover my edges and it works ok but after watching Kathy King of Paper Phenomenon & Vanessa Peter of Scrappin It Up, I now use 12 x 12 card stock! It just makes it look so clean & sharp! For smaller projects like this one, you will be able to get away with using the Stampin' Up! basic black 8 1/2 x 11.

I hope you like what you've seen and have looked through my blog a bit and please check out all the others whom I've gotten so much inspiration from! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have done any of the beautiful things I have done.
