Each folder holds 2 pouches of spiced cider mix.
For each folder you will need the following Stampin Up products:
DSP (Designer Series Paper) cut to 8 inches x 11 inches.
Coordinating card stock (I used Summer Starfruit) - 8 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches
Ribbon - I used a wide ribbon and cut about 24 inches for each folder. I wanted
to make a nice big bow since the ribbon is wide. A narrower ribbon might
not require as much.
Decorative front -
Card stock (chocolate chip) 3 pieces - 2 that are 5 1/8 x 3 3/8 inches
and one that is 3 7/8 x 2 5/8 inches
DSP - 5 x 3 3/4 inches
Card stock (very vanilla) with stamped images - 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches
DSP 8 x 11 - Score along the long side at 5 1/4 and 10 1/2 on the wrong side of the paper.
Fold on the score lines so that the 1/2 inch flap overlaps the other end of the DSP.
Turn and score along the folded side at 3 3/4 and 4 1/4 inches.
Using a circle punch, cut out a half circle on the sides that are not folded.
Punch through 2 layers first, then line up with the opposite side and
punch through the other 2 layers.
Put sticky strip (or other strong double sided tape) along the 1/2 inch flap on the wrong side.
Fold up so the 1/2 inch flap is over the opposite edge of the paper. Adhere by removing the protective red strip on the sticky strip.
Score the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch piece of card stock at 4 and 4 1/2 inches along the long side.
Place sticky strip down the spine of the DSP insert. Be sure you have the sticky strip on the side that has the 1/2 inch overlap so that is hidden when you put the folder together.
Remove the protective covering and adhere the DSP onto the card stock matching the 1/2 spines. Center the DSP between the two edges of the card stock - should have about 1/4 inch extending on each side.
You should now have 2 sleeves or pouches formed by the DSP inside the cardstock cover.
Attach one ribbon to the outside front cover. Be sure to place the tape far enough from the edge that the 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 chocolate chip card stock will cover it.
Once the ribbon is placed on the front of the folder, line up the other ribbon on the back to match the front and tape it as well.
For the back, take one of the larger chocolate chip rectangles and add adhesive to the edges. I used sticky strip along the one long side that will go over the ribbon to make it stronger.
The other edges have snail adhesive.
Center on the back, covering the end of the ribbon and the tape used to attach it.
For the front, layer the pieces then adhere the adhere to the front in the same way the piece was added to the back.
Place a pouch of spiced apple cider mix inside the pouches and tie the ribbon to close it up.
I made these for some friends - I thought they turned out really cute!
