Adhere the 1″ section to inside of one end of the 6.25″ x 9.5″ piece.

2x  4 1/8″ x 6 1/8″
1x  37/8″ x 6 1/8″
Patterned paper:
2x  4″ x 6″

1 x 3.75″ x 6″Adhere the patterned paper pieces to the white card to make panels.

Adhere one of the larger pieces to the back of the folder.

Using a crop-a-dile or similar, punch a hole on each side of the back (middle section) of the folder, approx 0.75″ up from the scorelines and approx 0.5″ in from each side.

Set an eyelet into each of the holes.

Thread some elastic string through the holes, from the back. Close up the folder and adjust to preferred tightness.

Secure the elastic string on the inside and cover with a piece of white card measuring 6.25″ x 4 1/8″

Mountain/valley fold the two 4″ x 8″ pieces

Apply adhesive on one end of the accordian pieces and adhere to the inside, just above the centre (3rd) scoreline.

Apply adhesive to the other end, fold over the front of the folder and press down well to get a good bond.

Repeat on the other side.

Pull the string around the front to ensure it catches the front of the folder.

Take the second larger panel and adhere to the front pocket of the folder.

Take the smaller panel and adhere to the front flap. When designing this piece, keep in mind which direction the image is going.

Stamp Rosie and Bernie onto some white card and colour with desired medium.

Cut a selection of die cuts to embellish.

Layer on the polaroid die cuts and then adhere the image over them using 3D foam tape/dots. Ensure the placement of the 3D foam doesn’t interfere with the elastic string holding the front closed. Stamp and cut the sentiment out using the sentiment die from the Rudolph Skating Reindeer set.
