Happy Monday!
If you recall last week I shared the tutorial on how to turn a plain old file folder into a nifty accordian style portfolio - Halloween Altered File Folder Portfolio.
Today I wanted to show you how I finished it off.
This is how my portfolio turned out...
I went minimal on my extra embellishments as I wanted the stamping & inks to really stand out here. I used mainly black or black and white extras - for example I used a couple types of border tapes in black and white. I also punched a snazzy little border for the inside pockets using black cardstock.
The main image on the front cover is also very simple keeping with the traditional, vintage halloween theme. And finally I added a bit of black ribbon to tie it all up.
I made some tags to tuck inside the portfolio - sticking with the black and white theme, I used bits and pieces from both the Authentique Enchanted & MME Lost & Found Halloween lines of pattern paper.
I used some traditional colored fuzzy fiber I had in my stash to add to each tag.
And there you have it...
A very fun, really cool portfolio
that could be custom tailored to
virtually any holiday, season or ocassion that might arise.
Very cute!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and it's great you could make a little mini from a file folder!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhich punch did you use for the border? I'm trying to find a punch like that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a clever idea if you'll ask me. That would be really impressive because they came from simple folders.
