CARD PORTFOLIO

Here's a very simple project you can make and I bet you already have most of the supplies on hand.

You'll need a sheet of cardstock 8 1/2 x 11.  Score (score means adding a crease) down the middle at 5 1/2 and across the bottom at 2 1/2.  You will fold the bottom portion up and punch a hole where the corners meet.  Thread ribbon from the inside out and knot the end to keep in place.  I added four note cards (right pocket) and four envelopes (left pocket).  The note cards measure 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.  The strip of designer paper across the top measures 5 1/2 x 1 1/4.  I scalloped a piece of cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 1 and layered it under the designer paper as an accent.  I used our scallop circle punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, 1 1/4 circle punch and 1" circle punch as the center accent piece layering each piece.  I pierced the edges of the scallop circle with our 1/16th punch for an added accent.

The designer paper on the front cover measures 5 1/4 x 5 3/4.  Be sure to punch through all layers to thread your ribbon.  I made the card stock on the front cover a little wider measuring 1 3/4 and then used the scallop border trim as an accent and placing on top of the designer paper.  I made the same scallop center accent piece for the cover as I did for each note card.

Most of the products I used are retired or retiring but you can use any combination of paper you have on hand. Here are the supplies I used.
