Graphic 45 Flower Market September Folio Tutorial

Hello, Friends!  For this week’s Make and Take Tuesday, I have our Graphic 45 Flower Market September Folio Tutorial ready to share with you.  This is the 9th folio in  this year-long series!  Can you even believe it? If you are new to the blog, you can catch up on the previous 8 months of folio tutorials HERE.

Asters are the featured flower for our September folio, and they are so pretty paired up with Cloudy Sky and Dune cardstock!  Once again, our folio measures 8 1/2″ square with 3/8″ spines, internal flaps, pockets and flip pages.

Authentique Stitches Guest Star of the Month

Our “guest star” for the month of September is the Stitches collection from Authentique.  The pinks and blue hues are the perfect complement to the G45 papers. While the basic folio design is the same as in previous months, I did alter the design of the top flap page just a little.  You know me…I get bored if I do the same thing all the time!

In addition to the G45 dies that we’ve been using every month, I invited my Annette Green Everyday Elements dies to the party.  I’ll list the borders, flourishes, postage stamp and doily dies in the supply list below.

Of course, if you don’t have Stitches or the dies in your stash, please feel free to substitute goodies from your stash.  It always feels good to use a product that’s been languishing in the Closet of Inspiration and Delight, don’t you agree?

Pockets and Mini Folios

Don’t  you love the way the Authentique papers blend with the Flower Market florals?

Flowers and sewing are two of my favorite crafting themes, so I really enjoyed putting this month’s folio together for you.  I hope you’ll have as much fun with it as I did.

Graphic 45 Flower Market July Folio Tutorial with Ciao Bella Microcosmos

Hello, Friends!  Can you even believe that it’s time for our Graphic 45 Flower Market July Folio Tutorial?  This year is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up!  Flower gardens begin to burst with blooms once July moves in, and the Flower Market July papers reflect the riot of colors that accompany those beautiful blossoms.

While I’ve enjoyed making these folios this year, this month is a favorite for me.  Why?  Well, because while digging through the newly organized stash I came across Ciao Bella’s magnificent Microcosmos collection.  Talk about a match made in Heaven!  Wait until you see how beautifully this collection flows with the Flower Market colors and patterns!

If you are new to this year-long series, you can find tutorials for the previous 6 folios HERE.

A Peek Inside a Hidden World of Beauty

Here’s a peek inside this month’s folio.  It’s like entering a hidden world of beautiful flowers, sweet ladybugs, buzzing bees, adorable snails, and fabulous foliage.

See what I mean?

And while the folio base design remains the same as in previous months, I did change up the inner workings to provide more flaps and interactive elements.  All these things combine to make it my favorite Flower Market Folio Tutorial so far.

Graphic 45 June Flower Market Tutorial for Make ^ Take Tuesday

Hello, Friends!  Can you believe it’s time to share our Graphic 45 June Flower Market Tutorial?  This year is racing by so quickly that I cannot keep up with the calendar!  June brings roses to the garden, and they are prominently featured in this project.

Once again, we reached into our paper stash to find a co-star for these lovely G45 papers.  The color palette was a bit unusual, so this proved to be more of a challenge.  But I finally found a worthy companion in these Kaisercraft Mademoiselle papers.  If you don’t have these in your stash, just use what you DO have.  I’ve also incorporated Annette Green’s Everything’s Blooming Large Doily dies to dress up the project pages.

Flips, flaps, pockets and tuck spots are the order of the day.  The large 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ format makes rooms for large photos and provides loads of journaling spots, too.

If you missed the previous Flower Market Tutorials, you can get caught up HERE.

Hello, Friends!  Is it really time for our Graphic 45 Flower Market April Folio?  Well, the calendar says it is, so here we come with the next folio in this year-long Make & Take Tuesday series.  This April Folio features daisies, one of the most cheerful flowers of the field.  The cheerful/joyful theme of this month’s folio is perfect for springtime.

We will follow the same basic construction format that we’ve used in the January–March folios. But  you know me…I don’t like to do the same thing over and over again, so there are a few subtle changes in this month’s folio.  I’m always looking for ways to improve the basic design.

A Peek Inside

This month’s “guest star” is a selection of papers and ephemera from Kaisercraft Flower Shoppe collection.  What a lovely surprise to see how well these two collections work together!  If you don’t have Flower Shoppe in your stash, just substitute another collection!  I do talk a bit in the video tutorial about my process for picking papers from other collections to go with the G45 papers.

See how well everything flows together?  I’ll share a full walk through in the video tutorial.

Part 2 Flower Market March Folio Tutorial

Part 2 Flower Market March Folio Tutorial: Finishing the Inside of the Folio

Hello, Friends!   I’m back with the Part 2 Flower Market March Folio Tutorial , just as I promised.  We created the folio base together on Tuesday in THIS post. Today we’re going to finish up the inside of this lovely folio.  Here’s a quick peek at what we’ll be working on.

Get ready for a great crafty adventure! There are lots and lots of fun flips, flaps, pockets and creative ideas in your future.  This folio design is slightly different from the January and February folios.  Variety is the spice of life, right?  I will probably work small changes into the design each month just to keep things interesting, and to keep myself from getting bored.
