Prima Cherry Sweet Shabby Chic Folio Tutorial Part 1
Hello, Friends! It’s Wonderful Wednesday and I have a darling Prima Cherry Sweet Shabby Chic Folio Tutorial to share with you! This is part 1 of a 5-part series that I’ll be sharing in our Wonderful Wednesday crafty adventures. After we finished our Stamperia Whispering Woods Pop Up Book series, many of you had expressed an interest in another multi-part project. So here we are!
Sweet as Cherries
Sometimes, a project is so much fun to make that it almost seems to make itself. That was the case with this darling 6″ x 8″ folio. Shabby chic details like lace trim, flirty butterflies, soft flowers and sweet pink buttons make it extra special.
I’m especially fond of this lace covered spine and copper heart charm. Wouldn’t this be a lovely way to document a bridal shower, special anniversary, or birthday party?
A Peek Inside
I’m not going to ruin all the surprises tucked into this delightful little folio, but I thought you might like a little peek at what we’ll be making in the weeks ahead.
Of course, you can use whatever paper collection you happen to have in your stash. But if you’d like to create this album, I’ll provide affiliate links for you below this post.
Building the Folio Base: Prima Cherry Sweet Shabby Chic Folio Tutorial Part 1
Everything good in life starts with a solid foundation. So our first tutorial will guide you step by step through the process of creating the folio base. If you’ve never made a folio from scratch before, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn how easy the process is.
So please grab a cuppa and a snack and enjoy Part 1 of our tutorial.
I hope you’re excited to create this folio along with me each week. After this week, I’ll be recovering from my hip replacement surgery. But never fear: I have worked ahead and will have a Wonderful Wednesday tutorial all prepped for you each week while I’m away. You won’t even know that I’m not here!
Thanks so much for stopping by friends!
Cheerio,
kathy

Hello Kathy – I hope your recovery is going well. I’ve been dealing with my own health issues so I’ve been missing but this folio is one very worth checking out. Your tutorial is amazing as always and I plan on following it and creating my own. Thank you for sharing and for doing it so well. Blessings!
Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery. I’m having hip pain lately, so I’m genuinely sympathetic to your situation. Beautiful folio and awesome tutorial, as usual!
This is larger than I first imagined. Could be a Button Farm Club project…so lucky to get the tutorial for free. It’s so much easier to follow the videos than to have to rely on printed instructions. Thank you, Kathy!
Adorable! I love the shabby chic theme and can’t wait to view the rest of the tutorials. Thank you so much for the tutorials. Hoping you have a speedy recovery and will be thinking of you.
OMG … hello my friend … long time no see (my bad!). Your designs are just as gorgeous as always!! Hope everything is going well for you (miss our chats) and you had a wonderful Christmas holiday season! Where is the time going? Keep up the great work … you are truly a creative inspiration!!! Happy 2026 to you & yours! I promise not to wait so long before stopping by again!
Beautiful, Kathy! Prayers going up for you for your upcoming surgery that all goes well and you have a full recovery and ready to dance a jig!
