Today’s folio makes for a great Gift Idea with the Forever Fern Set! This project is one of a set of 3 folios shared a few week ago.
In my recent Facebook Live event, I showed how to make three different folios. I shared the first folio in my post on 7/25/20. The details for the second folio are in my 7/31/20 post and today I’m featuring the details of my last and final folio which is also a great gift idea with the Forever Fern Set
Today’s folio is the largest capacity folio and it also includes a fun technique with acrylic blocks that I shared some weeks back. This large capacity folio fits about 5 cards and envelopes and is shown in the upper right hand corner of the photo below.

This third folio is the same basic construction as the second folio except the scoring dimensions makes it fatter therefore it can hold more!

Here’s a view of the spines of these three folios. The spine widths are ⅜”, ½” and ¾”. The bigger the spine width, the greater the capacity of the folio.

Here’s a look at the bottom of these three folios:

In the photo below you’ll see the dimensions and scoring required to make this greeting card folio.
It also shows most of the spots where you’ll need adhesive as well!

Watch my video tutorial at the end of this post for all the details about putting together this folio.

I created my front focal piece for this folio using the Forever Fern Stamp Set with acrylic block stamping.

Here’a look at the cards inside of this folio.
This is a super simple card and I just love it!

I’ve used watercolor paper for the focal piece. A “D” size acrylic block was used with Seaside Spray, Mint Macaron, and Soft Sea Foam ink, to create the background.

Here I’ve used and “I” size acrylic block with the same ink colors.


For this third card, I also used the “I” size acrylic block.

I just love these soft colors and simple layouts! I hope you do too!

I’ve only created three cards so far but as a reminder this folio can fit 5 or 6 cards plus envelopes.

Don’t forget, my Facebook Live video is just ahead if you’d like more details on how to assemble this folio. In that video, I’ve also included a segment on how to customize the size of your folio!
I hope you’ve enjoyed my projects today and that you’re inspired to make your own greeting card folio! At the end of this post, you’ll find project dimensions and a complete supply list for today’s folio.
Happy Crafting!
