Great ideas and make it look so easy.

I am glad you are back. Best wishes for your husband's recovery. I have always enjoyed your craft fair videos. Looking forward to them. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Rewind 10 years ago.... i had a little folder this size from Mary Engelbriet. I used it until it was shreds. I kept talking it back together and finally retired it to my journals not having the heart to throw it away. I didn't paper craft back then. I'm so excited for this tutorial now. I will definatly make myself a few of these! So sweet!

[@lyriclovercrafts]

I love Mary Engelbreit! She’s my favorite artist ever! Thanks for watching! xo Amber

[@traci4440]

Stacey, I'm curious to know what you used it for. I think these are so cute, but I'm having a hard time thinking of what I would do with one.

[@staceydailey6394]

@@traci4440: i used mine like a weekly to do folder. I kept mystery shopping list, too do list, bills or things i need to mail off. If i was heading to the grocery it held my list coupons and stuff, stuffed my receipts in it. It really was a catch all. I still use a similar system but now it's all in my happy planner (i don't use the planner portion, just the cover and note paper with the folders but i like the disc system so i can punch things and keep them inside. ) these folders fit a typical paper folded in half. Since they are small they easily fit in your purse, planner, or just in hand. I rarely carry a purse. My phone is a phone case wallet that i keep in my pocket so all my necessary papers are in hand. Think about having one for the dr's to keep the copay receipt in as well as lab results, another for the store, put those receipts in there until you scan them for ibotta. One for each kid. Christmas shopping. Ect, im sure once it's in hand, you will quickly fill it up! Lol at the end of each week (or when it was getting bulky) i would empty and put away the stuff that was finished (file the lab reports, buisness cards, pamphlets, the stamped portion of the water bill for proof of payment ect, to make room for more. I'm not joking these little folders are so darn handy! I'm glad she did this video! 🤩 by the way is nearly 1am and i'm rambling.. sorry 🤣

[@traci4440]

@@staceydailey6394 Thank you so much for your reply. Full of great ideas!

[@carolyoung3164]

Awesome!Cute,too.And useful.

[@snurfbee58]

Omigoodness, these are so cute and so easy! I just made 5 of them in less than 45 minutes and I’m guessing since I now know what I’m doing I could probably turn out half a dozen in half an hour. What a wonderful and relaxing weekend project. I’m going to make a bunch of these for my friends. Thank you Amber!

[@cherylrymer6782]

As always - quick, easy and so darn cute! An easy gift to fill with whatever is appropriate for the receiver. Thanks again Amber.

[@diannamangrum68]

This is a go to video for me...I use these for everything. Im now using them to hold die stamp sets with a finished project for a sample. Tfs🤗❣

[@sunnyhughes3373]

4 years later and I still love making these. I find so many uses for these.

[@chelliebeaudot7784]

What an awesome project! I am going to tuck a 5" X 7" mini paper pad into each one and give as gifts to my Sunday school teachers. They thought last year's post it holders were cool. Wait 'til they get a load of this one. Thank you so much for so generously sharing these, Amber!!

[@SunshineInCA14]

These adorable folders might fit in those mini binders that are being sold by the Dollar Tree and Target as well! Thanks Amber for another great idea.

[@natashachesney178]

I am a teacher and love these! Plan on making these for students and fellow teachers! Very pretty folders!

[@anniefields-chapman7129]

Amber, I took this one step further and laminated them. Turned out great! TFS.

[@pattischult9401]

I've not laminated these projects yet, but am excited to. Do you laminate it first, then fold? Or fold, then laminate?

[@amybarthel479]

So cute. I used your idea and sized it down to a 6x6 piece of paper. 1/4 inch scores on the sides and 2 inches at the bottom. Perfect little folder to hold 2 tea bags.

[@valeriemacdonald273]

Amy Barthel I was thinking of making it smaller to put notes in my grandkids lunch bags...thanks for saving me the trouble of figuring the measurements. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@missyb.623]

Great idea!

[@donnadiesburg7451]

Such a cool idea!

[@jukes243]

Hi Amy, I just made one of these. They're absolutely adorable. Thanks! for the measurements.

[@aliceadler4569]

Your camera is so good it feels like you are in the room with you!!! 🎥 🎥 🎥

[@ssharp11]

Excellent project and start to finish tutorial. Thank you Amber. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@missyb.623]

These are adorable!!!! I think it would be fun to give two file folders, a mini legal pad, and a pen!

[@PixieLinsStorytime]

I love how you say, "Use your paper". My m.i.l. refuses to cut any of hers and she's had it for years. She says it's too pretty to use. The file folders look beautiful.

[@madilynbeaner7484]

These are absolutely adorable. I'm going to make some to use up some of my paper pads and sell at our church for our missionaries fund. Thank you so much for giving us the idea.

[@kayepowers4725]

Great video. I think I will make these with Christmas paper to use for gift receipts or Christmas idea lists. Thanks for sharing your good ideas!

[@gardenguru1008]

Awesome idea!! As a teacher, I would be thrilled to receive something like this.

[@sweetsue51]

I love your folders. Diffanitaly a winner! Going to make for sure

[@leopardprints]

These are so cute! You know, one option for items like these, would be to donate to your local children's hospital. I'm sure kids would love them. And yay! A new Craft Fair series! I used so many of your ideas and donated them to various charities. Looking forward to it!

[@meliB32]

That's such a good idea

[@pnuthead13]

leopard prints how were the donations received? I’ve got a pretty healthy stash and thanks to Amber lots of good projects I’ve long thought would make great donations to low income classrooms. I’m just not sure how they may be received. Any input would be appreciated!

[@leopardprints]

@@pnuthead13 You could always ring your local hospital and ask about it? Usually children's hospitals love cards (as long as they don't have like 'get well soon' on them) and crafting items. I'm sure a child would feel really good about receiving something handmade. I also donated a lot to a local women's shelter- I donated crafty items for the kids, as they are often forgotten. I also donated to a local dog rescue charity as they can sell the items at fairs.

[@lyriclovercrafts]

Great idea!!! Thanks so much, Lowri! xo Amber

[@dawnmarieleonard9137]

thank you for the tip about cutting past the score line. touches like that make the difference in the appearance of the end product

[@michelleneuman579]

These are so cute! I cant wait to try these. I have a lot a paper and had no clue what to do with it all! Looking forward to watching your other inventions.

[@naidacreations4472]

Thanks for sharing such beautiful ideas. God bless you.

[@pnuthead13]

Amber... I just want to really thank you for this specific series. It’s been wonderful and looking forward to learning more about your craft fair items!

These will also be great tucked in between some elastic bands as in a journal or travel type notebook. How awesome. thanks for sharing. I always love your tutorials!

[@tinadice4917]

I love all your “use your paper” videos! You are so great at teaching, matching different papers together, etc! Thank you for all your great videos!

[@LynneWilliams101]

Great tutorial! I just made the folder and it was so easy. They would be nice with Christmas theme paper to use for storing shopping lists, gift receipts, new recipes to try. etc. Thanks!!

Like it ,nice and easy . Now ill have to try it ,thanks

[@JeanneDee-zz5th]

Your" use your paper" series is genius!!! I have loved them all. And I am just a casual crafter that loves paper, fabric and yarn. I'm sorry it's come to an end but anxious for new craft fair projectst. Thank you for sharing with us !

[@StampinBeachTeacher]

Love this idea. I am a card maker and I am thinking of making these to hold cards, one folder for each month to hold birthday cards for that month.

[@traci4440]

Great idea! You could punch holes and use binder rings to keep the 12 folders together.

[@pattywoodhurst8063]

Amber, I love this project!! I was able to do a dozen this afternoon and will do more. They will be for the grandkids' teachers! I'm also going to give them as Christmas gifts. Thank you!

By far the best series! Keep the ideas coming, I love that I’m now going to use all the paper I have had for years

Thank you so much!!! You’re so kind! xo Amber

[@dawnbecker8643]

Great idea!! You always have the best ideas... was thinking the little legal pads would fit very nice inside that size!! That they can buy !! TFS

[@iluvtojournal]

Amber you explain so well and really get your ideas across. I like the size of the folders. Going to make some for a lovely teaching assistant that I know

[@gabbyb720]

Such a good idea, I’ll give it a try. I plan to use it inside my happy planner to keep my bills! 😍

[@jenniferwhitworth4312]

A thought is you could bind a few folders together into a book. Love your idea.

[@eileennielsen3607]

So enjoyed this entire series! Thanks skool much!

I love them!!! Made two already.

[@nancymac2445]

These are absolutely awesome, thanks for the tutorial and for sharing!!

[@gloriabarletta2491]

perfect for my granddaughter!! can use so many of her favorite papers!

[@dinahsoar6982]

These are so cute. Septeria18 makes a mini version using a 6x6 paper and the gift bag punch board. They make up fast and are really cute. I did a spin off and added a spine that would accommodate a note pad..the pockets are a nice place to tuck coupons (yes, I still use paper coupons), notes to myself, etc.

[@BuffyLynn]

Another great fun little project!! YAYY! Craft fair is s coming!! Way more exciting than even Santa!

[@lyriclovercrafts]

Awww haha thank you! xo Amber

[@susanduncan7875]

so cute! I just made one to see how they look and it is as easy as you say! I will be making a bunch of these and sending them to a teacher I know in Florida. her 5th graders are kids that are mostly from hard economic families. She has a book program for them and the folders will be plain, with a label on the front for their names. Inside they could keep track of their books, and even draw a part of the stories and tuck them inside these. so many many uses. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@valeriemacdonald273]

Great idea and it looks so “finished”! I love my corner rounder...use it a lot. Thanks for the ideas! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lyriclovercrafts]

Awww thank you so much, Lisa! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JellicleKat]

I LOVE THESE! They're beautiful, adorable, fun and so creative! The ten year old in side of me is jumping up and down over this lol. I know that sounds strange but I would have love these when I was a kid and now I can make my own. These would also be fun if you have an event coming up and you wanted to customize gifts for those in attendance - like a decorative information packet. Or you can make them to suit which ever holiday you celebrate (I only celebrate Thanksgiving and the 4th of July). So many possibilities. Gits for your Mothers or Grandmothers, whomever. You could make these and give them out as welcome packets at church. Anything.
