Cottage Life Loaded Folio Tutorial


Hello, G45ers!

We love a good Folio Album, especially when it it loaded with fun pull outs, photo mats, and interactive details!  This Loaded Folio has been created for us by Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador, Jenn DuBell using our Cottage Life paper collection. We encourage you to grab a cup of tea and take the video tour and follow along with the tutorial.

 

Cottage Life Loaded Folio

By Jenn DuBell

 

“Hello G45ers!!

I have created a loaded Folio using the entire new Cottage Life collection! This is one of many ways to utilize all the collection has to offer including the newly introduced coordinating stamps. This folio is 5”X7” and is absolutely loaded with pockets, pages, pull outs and a fun waterfall pocket element. It will hold many photos and mementos. I have included a video tour of the completed project as well as a tutorial on creating the base and inside features.
