Card Folio

 

I used the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack

to make these 2 cards, along with the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set!

But check out the CUTE Card Folio I made to put them in!

Isn't this such a neat holder for cards.

I have made various kinds of these over the years.

I think it just adds to make your gift special if you can put it into a card keeper!

This Card Folio is actually thick enough you could add about 

3-4 cards/envelopes on each side, depending on how thick your cards are.

These Memories & More cards measure 4 1/4 x 6 1/4"- 

so are a little bigger than our normal standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card.

You could add ribbon to hold your Card Folio shut, but I chose not to add any closure.

Mine just closes & stays shut just like a book does.

 How did I make the Card Folio?

• card stock- 8 1/2 x 11" 
• On long side you score it at 5 1/4 & 5 3/4". 
• On short side you score it at 6 3/4"
• Fold on scored lines
• Make a "V" cut out in the bottom center as shown in the photo below.
• Add Tear & Tape to the bottom outside edges to make the pockets.

Here is a pattern!

And this is what it looks like when folded & the pocket is attached down.

 

NOTE:  

If you are making one of theses Card Folio's for our standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" cards- 

you could score the bottom at 6 1/2" instead to make it a little deeper pocket.
