Graphic 45 November Flower Market Folio Tutorial with Simple Stories Country Harvest

Hello, Friends!  I’m a little late with this Graphic 45 November Flower Market Folio Tutorial, but it’s still Make & Take Tuesday, right?  It was a busy weekend with family, and I’m prepping for company, so I’m running a bit behind today.

This is our 11th Flower Market Folio of the month.  Can you believe it? This year has really gone by so fast that it hardly seems possible.  If you are new to my blog, and would like to get caught up on this monthly folio series, you can find the rest of the tutorials HERE.  The tutorials are also available on my Make & Take Tuesday Playlist on YouTube.

Chrysanthemums the Word!

When I think of fall flowers, I think of chrysanthemums.  I am so happy they are the featured flower on this month’s folio!  Yellow Gold, Green and Orange Red matting layers lend fall flavor to the design.

Our “guest star” collection this month is Simple Stories Country Harvest Collection. I was delighted to find how well the colors and images mixed with the beautiful G45 papers.  Annette Green’s Everythings Blooming Postage Frames, Lacy Borders and Small Doilies added some fun elements to the design, too.

You’ll want to pull out your Graphic 45 File Folder Die so you can make this sweet pocket inside the folio.

And the adornments die frame is a perfect fit for the large postage stamps.

Lots of Flips, Flaps and Pockets

Interactive elements make a folio so much more fun, don’t you think?  The G45 Pocket and Tag Die is a great place to tuck in journaling cards and a small tag.

I had enough of our guest star paper to add this sweet little waterfall feature behind the flap.

Here’s a look at the bottom half of the folio.  Flap pages are located on the sides and a lovely pocket fills the center panel.

That pocket is a perfect home for all these fun tuck ins.  You’ll learn all about them in the video tutorial below.

If you’d like to see how this month’s folio came together, grab a cuppa, a snack and settle down someplace cozy.

We only have one folio left to make, and then we are done with this series.  If you have requests for series in 2024, please share with me in the comment section below.  I always like to hear what you are interested in.
