I can't tell you how much I look forward to these!!!! I was so excited to see the new video and free downloadables that I squealed and my husband thought I ran over the dog with my computer chair, lol. 😂 I'm not sure if you realize how much these free projects mean to people like me but I can assure you, every minute of creating these things brings me joy and if I make more to give to someone I love, I also get that great feeling of showing someone I care enough about them to use my time to create something just for them. I always give you credit and let them know the option of making the items themselves is there. And I mention the many other beautiful kits you have. I guess what I'm trying to really say is, THANK YOU!!!!!!! Please don't ever stop doing these. It gives me something to look forward to and every day I check KZbin for the sole purpose of looking for anything you may have put up. It's going to be a wonderful day for me, thanks to you!!!!!!!!!

[@Paint3dRos3]

Agreed ❣

[@vectoriadesigns]

I think you made it abundantly clear how much you like these ^^ I'm humbled, Tracy. Enjoy!

[@gkk7423]

My sentiments exactly! ...except the dog lol! Thank You dear Tinne&Team!!!!

[@dianeduncan5814]

I second this (well third...lol ) xox

[@kathy3831]

Thank you sooo much!!!!

[@Mhyreade]

I printed this out in many colors. All the favorite colors of a newly blended family. I am giving each family member their own folder and I am making a giant journal for the newlyweds so the whole family can keep the journal together. Thank you so much!

[@suegillettful]

Tenne I love your kits. I fairly recently was watching other creators and a couple came up with a tip or trick. If you want beautiful corners when wrapping your front cover with paper when you trim off off the corners. What she/they did after a tip from some one,. When wrapping and trimming the corners what they did was when you trim off the 4 corners you just clipped flip them around and glue the corner bits so the 90 degree angle is now facing the corners and glue snuggly down before you fold down the sides of the papers and wrap it around. What this does is not only make the corner a little more strength but if the sides you fold over don't fit as nice as you thought at least the corner will look nice.

[@christinesanchez4801]

I truly VALUE, Vectoria Designs Tutorials and freebies, very generous for sure. As a Business owner of a construction co, my time is limited to devote to my love of JJ and papercraft such as this accordion folder tutorial. Sometimes this means 10pm-12am I can craft.....Soon, the transition of my time will happen. A heartful thank you for the time and energy to the tutorials and freebies. I also have purchased several of Beautiful digitals created by Vectoria Designs. I Love them!. Christine S.

[@love-light369]

Lovely kit... Bit tricky to print out on A4 & get the backing to the edges, as my printer 🖨 wouldn't do borderless for me. It printed beautifully & was easy to assemble using this tutorial (I just watched & paused, watched & paused etc). I'm considering buying the template, so I can use different papers to have new looks. Very much appreciate this freebie, Tinne! Thank you for your generosity. I have purchased other products from you & they are high quality & standard. Will be a long-term customer! 💛💫🌟

[@vectoriadesigns]

I also print on A4 (without the borderless setting) and it worked out great for me (because I used that in the video ^^). You can always consider lowering the print percentage before printing.

[@SpydersCorner]

Yay! At last I have a new printer and my old one has been put to shame! Which means, I can print out your lovely papers in the right colours with no wobbly lines and start making things! Thank you!

[@mafoster4393]

Absolutely stunning - again. I have no minds eye. I can't see anything unless it's visual. These videos and gifts make it possible for me to feel creative. Thank you

[@tamklecksart]

Danke danke für dieses tolle Freebie! Liebe Grüße Tammi ❤🖐

[@denisemurdock2259]

Another beautiful design ! I have completed one, two more are cut out and ready to be glued together. I have purchased 3 from you and have received 3 for free ❤ These have become my obsession !!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!

[@maryr.5898]

I appreciate your generosity in sharing your talent and designs with us. Your creations are lovely and there is something for everyone's taste.

[@anitayodermarshall2561]

I printed this last night, and this morning I sat down with a hot cup of coffee and got started. Within a few hours, I had a wonderful completed project. It was so easy to create. Thank you!

[@jennywilliams4793]

Absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy I saw your channel this evening. I look forward to making this soon as small recipe card holders for family. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@mycreativespace]

Thank you so much for sharing Tnne! Your projects is always so creative and beautiful! Greetings from Helen 🤗

[@lynreading2048]

Hi, very beautiful project, I will enjoy making this one also. You are such a lovely person to share your ideas like you do, thank you Tinne.🌻

[@bernadinegillette4456]

I took me a couple tries because I cut some pieces wrong by taking off the white folding tabs lol. But I got it done and I love it! My first dive into paper crafting to learn bookbinding for making journals for myself. This was perfect to get my toes wet. Easy enough to not get discouraged and difficult enough challenge me. Thank you SO much!

[@annpollard9873]

Absolutely gorgeous project! Thanks not only for the free printable kit, but also for the very well done tutorial! You are amazing!

[@gail-gmac6871]

Was looking to make an accordion folder and came across your tutorial. I love your work and how you explain what you're doing. I received my download with your beautiful paper and can't wait to start! Thank you!

[@traceyhall5687]

Is not just the free templates, although they are lovely, it's also very much about the tutorials, the advice, the encouragement and the way in which you deliver it all. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of your craft. ❤

[@elizabethrose5411]

[@kandrews6356]

Great accordion folder and a fabulous tutorial and freebies. I can see so many uses for this; thank you so much for sharing.

[@coombs989]

Wow, wow, WOW! It’s gorgeous 😍 . Thank you so much. You are spoiling us😁 I can tell you are very proud of this creation and so you should be.!

[@vectoriadesigns]

I'm a spoiler. Wait, that sounds wrong..

[@ludmillasomp4723]

Absolutely gorgeous Tinne. Love the accordion design n your tutorial was perfect. All the instructions were easy to follow n I think I’ll purchase the templates for this project because I have some beautiful coloured paper that would be just perfect. Thank you for sharing ❤😊

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Very pretty. Thank you for sharing and for the freebies. You are so generous to all of us. The instructions and inspiration is greatly appreciated..

[@marilynsmith9537]

Thank you for the free printable. I can't wait to work on this one. I am getting an assortment of these portfolios to have as examples for a craft session with some moms at a school I work at. My supervisor has seen some of these and thought it would be fun to do these to give the moms a afternoon or evening to themselves.

[@vectoriadesigns]

Amazing!

[@annfox9187]

You are such a kind and generous Angel ❤

[@3rscrafting]

I feel as though I've been sitting and crafting with you for the last week. The pandemic almost destroyed our lives. And 99.9 % of all of my craft tools and supplies were ruined in storage, but things can be replaced, people cannot. And my heart truly goes out to everyone who lost friends and family during that terrible time. My computer was also damaged beyond repair, but, Etsy, bless them, had every digital kit I'd purchased except two. And my whole collection from YOU was saved. I purchased your large Christmas kit I think four years ago, and the smaller ones -- my fav is cutest Christmas ever for the small ones -- I haven't crafted for nearly two years. But we found the absolutely perfect house, and I've been preparing all summer to relaunch my little crafty channel, mainly because when we moved in, our hussy female cats, who could not be spayed during that time, on our third day here, escaped and there is no question who the baby kitten daddies are, and now we have a house full of fur balls, who are fun, but have to be rehomed, but I'm going to get them spayed and neutered and their shots before adoption, so I gotta sell journals, and your kits are divine. I purchased yesterday the botanist library, and watched the free tutorial on the butterfly one -- I screwed up, a little, and it still turned out great. And then I did this one. I hope you are so proud of that Christmas kit, because it is timeless and plays so well with others. I feel guilty I got it on sale because it contains so much. I feel grateful I was able to retrieve it from Etsy. I'm going to downsize this kit a bit and use your papers in your Christmas kits, and include the bits and pieces I have left over as an ephemera folder, with some blank tags, so people can make their own, like glue photos on them. I'm making a little just writing booklet so people who come to visit you, or you go to visit, can write a little note, about like what you want, as opposed to what you got, who came for dinner, who burned the rolls, or worse, the gravy is lumpy. I just turned 67 -- ugh -- but I am the happiest I have been in my life. I have several of your wonderful kits, and I even have a folder on the new computer (and backup hard drive) of just your things. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into all you do, for sharing your talent and gifts with us, and for the freebie kits. I can't believe how the cost of everything has escalated. Prior to the pandemic, a bottle of Aileens tacky glue was $1.25 for a large bottle. Now it's $7. But, I don't drink, and I'm too old to chase after men .. ha ... but it also taught me to quit hoarding the vintage laces, trims and fabrics -- we had torrential rains and snows, there was a leak, and it's really humid where I live, everythig was coated in mildew when we went to move it .... but we have our health, and such joy, and that matters the most. Thank you again for everything. I'll put up a video with the #can't resist when I figure out how to film with my phone. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend, Patricia

[@vectoriadesigns]

I'm sorry for all the hardships, Patricia. I'm glad crafting makes you happy ^^

[@lizlepp5036]

as always a fun tutorial to watch ,learn and do lol .Thank you for the freebies that goes along with the tutorials.all the best in 2023.

Love, love, love your design! Your instructions are perfect, and I really enjoyed the little note about the ribbon that was too wide. The optional closures are a real bonus, I would never have thought of them. This is a beautiful, and useful project, thank you so much!

[@johngasston6941]

[@beckyb4074]

Thanks for the beautiful tutorial and the (again) awesome freebies. Another perfectly gorgeous vintage project. Sad to say that I haven't as yet gotten to make any of the creations you've shared, a lacking of time on my part, because your easy to follow instructions are the best. Loved the part about the first ribbon piece not working, LoL. Thanks also for sharing your sense of humor too. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

This is my third small project and cannot wait to see it finished. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed while creating journals because it takes so much time; but these are very easy, and the designs are amazing!! Thank you so much for these little projects, I absolutely love them! ♥♥ ETA: I closed mine with a couple of magnets, because I did not have an eyelet that big :)
