Try It Tuesday~a simple portfolio!!



Hi everyone~this is a really easy project using the bi-fold papers by Authentique and Helmar Craft Glue


Score bi-fold paper 4" long ways across the paper.


Next score at 6" {down the middle} on both sections of the bi-fold.  It should look like this folded.


Punch scallop design along the edge that is to be folded up.


Glue middle section #2 & #3 together~Helmar Craft Glue is what I used.  You now have the portfolio ready to decorate.  I matted pattern paper on the inside for added color.


The portfolio is about a 6" X 8".  I decorated the front with ribbon, rosette flowers, buttons and I used Tim Holtz's tissue tape on the edge that was glued together.



I'm using it to hold all my Authentique alpha's and stickers~they will all be in one place!!! I love Authentique papers as much as I love Helmar products!!!
