✨ This Small Basic Folio Is Great!
I’m so excited to share this simple, sturdy folio with you today. I decided to film this tutorial separately so future project videos can stay focused on decorating — and you can always return here anytime you need the basic construction. This little folio uses just three sheets of 8‑1/2″ x 11″ cardstock, and it makes a wonderful base for Paper Pumpkin kits, card kits, or any themed embellishments you love.
It’s clean, it’s quick, and it’s such a fun foundation for creative play.
