Cards - File Folder Greeting Card Demo

Hi, Thanks for watching :) Someone else designed the card & supplied all the pieces at a card swap - I put it together. I re-enact how we made the card that I showed videos for (part 3). The card is 5 inches wide by 4 inches high, perfect for the Sizzix File Folder 2. But you could use a Tab punch or even a coin envelope to make a "pull" for your card. (Or ribbon through an eyelet too :). If you have scraps from making 8x8 cards from 12x12 paper it's a great way to use them up!

can I buy one off you?

@Bezzielow Hello! Tank you for leaving comments :) I don't sell Cuttlebugs. If you are in the US (?) you can buy them at Michaels or JoAnns. Use a 40% coupon from a newspaper - or if you join the store's club they may email you a coupon. Full retail is $50 so using a coupon really pays off. I will message you privately :) Lisa

@cropwithLisa I meant the card folder??

@Bezzielow Hello = hope this answers your question. youtube comments seem to be out of order. I can't follow the thread. You need the dimensions for the outer wrapper, right? From memory I'm thinking 4" high by 5" long. CorbittCraftyCorner has it right :). Lisa

how much did you get your cuttlebug for?

I am going to ask my perents for one tomorrow!

[cropwithLisa]

@Bezzielow A cuttlebug or big shot from sizzix are great tools and they last forever! With a 40% off coupon from the big craft stores they are affordable, too. If the machine seems too much too soon check out the Sizzix Sidekick which retails for $30 full price and is very portable.

The 1st time I made this project was without a cuttlebug - you can make the folder a rectangle, and then add a tab. The tab can be punched or cut from a template. The inside rectangle is 4.75" x 3.25".

This is so cute. You did a great job explaining it. Love the paper you used. I have pieces of scrap paper that I don't remember either. LOL!!!

@CorbittCraftyCorner Hi! The inside piece is 4.75" x 3.25".

 The outside envelope should be 5" long x 4" high. Thank you for watching! :)

could you give the dimensions of the file folder item? I do not have a tool like that cuttlebug thing, I can make a file folder on my own though, just need size. Thanks
