We thought we had said our goodbyes, but surprise—there’s one more delight from our fabulous Brand Ambassador, Gina Long! Today, we’re sharing her final (for real this time!) Let it Bee Travel Folio created with our Keepsake Kit. This charming folio is the perfect way to capture memories from your next getaway. It’s practical, portable, and filled with clever handmade touches. Although the Let it Bee Keepsake Kit has flown off the shelves, the Let it Bee – Keepsake Edition is still available—so you can recreate this beauty and make it your own. Let’s give Gina one more heartfelt farewell with this final buzz-worthy project!
“I’m so happy to be back on the blog this month sharing a handmade Travel Folio using the gorgeous Let It Bee collection. This folio is perfect for summer adventures and memory keeping on the go! Let me walk you through some of the fun details.

Cover and First Page: The folio features a fold-out pocket right on the cover, which opens up to reveal the first page. I added one of the collection’s border strips here – but with a twist! I clipped apart the quote on the border to create smaller strips that add charm and flexibility to the layout.
This page opens to reveal two custom policy envelopes, I created using the Policy & Decorative Die Set. I layered black cardstock with washi tape and used the circle die to cut some sparkly, glitter accents. These envelopes are not just decorative – they’re removable, making them perfect for slipping into your purse to collect tickets, receipts, or small mementos while exploring!
The opposite flap features patterned paper, ephemera, and a coordinating border. It opens to reveal a belly band that holds a large fold-out piece and the first of two handmade notebooks.
The notebooks feature a pocket and a sweet little tag. Inside, there’s blank paper adorned with just a bit of ephemera and Let It Bee die cuts- leaving plenty of space for journaling your adventures.
At the center of the folio is a large pocket that holds three tags in varying sizes. I used the stickers from the collection to add charm and style to each one.
This Travel Folio is perfect for your next getaway – tuck it into your bag and let it help you stay organized while keeping your memories close.

1. Create Pockets with Purpose
Gina added a fold-out pocket right on the folio cover, which hides a beautifully layered page featuring clipped-apart quote strips from the border design. Try this tip for a customized touch!
2. Removable Policy Envelopes = Genius!
Use the Policy & Decorative Die Set to craft envelopes that are both functional and pretty. Gina made hers removable—perfect for collecting travel ephemera like receipts or tickets.
3. Stylish Notebooks with Room to Write
Each handmade notebook includes a pocket, a tag, and just a touch of ephemera. Gina’s approach keeps the design clean while leaving space to jot down travel notes or bucket list ideas.
4. Tags with Dimension
Layer stickers and die-cuts from the Let it Bee collection to dress up tags in all sizes. Tuck them into folio pockets or use them as photo placeholders.
