[@cathsaxe4931]

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

I make those little button & string closures a lot. I always struggle to get the hole centered in the middle of my circle. Why have I never thought of doing it your way!!! What a great idea to punch the little hole first and then punch the circle! Brillient! Thanks for sharing! Such a fan of your work. Hugs, Dawn

[@artymaze]

TheBookVandalShop thank you, yes it’s very fiddly isn’t it. Xx

[@WhiteRavenBookRook]

O oh Andrea I just had to tell you I love listening to you because you remind me of my mom you sound just like her.. I'm the first Canadian born and all the rest of my family is from England I'm not really sure what areas there they're from but your accent is just like my mom's and I love listening to you and in this video when you said slither for sliver when you're taking the tiny piece off I nearly died!.. that's exactly what my mom used to say! she could never say sliver either LOL thanks for cheering me up every time I watch your videos.. do take care stay safe keep sharing your wonderful videos great to see how you create

[@SimpLeeBeth]

I love that you write your measurements down, rather than relying on memory. If only more of us could be so humble. LOL

[@wendyharrison3706]

I could spend a whole day watching your videos. You are so inspirational and make everything seem easy with the way you tutor and your so down to earth.. I love, love artymaze and trying all the things you teach us. Oh and love the seagull's in the back ground lol I'm from Devon originally and miss that sound and accent so reminds me of home Love it x😊

[@arizonamonarch]

You took the words out of my mouth. The only thing I would add is I kept thinking she has injured, bloody fingers! LOL

[@carolyoung3793]

Thanks Andrea! So sweet of you to do this for us! I will have a go and try one of these!🙏💟👍

[@kathielewis683]

I envision your craft room being a beach house on the beach 🏖 so you can hear the sound of the sea and the seagulls while you craft xx

Love your creations. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the sound of seagulls in the background. 😁

[@donnahunter3488]

Who knew you could do so many things with a file folder. I can’t wait for the rest of the tutorials. I’m saving all your videos to come back later to make all these things. Andrea, your a great teacher! ❤️💞💕

[@LaughingDogsBookNook]

This folio is wonderful! I loved making this! The amount of pockets and spaces to store things makes it perfect to put in your purse or backpack and take with you. Thanks so much for this fun and useful piece! Laura

[@danu2you799]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. This is a really great folder.

[@MissDaisyParsley]

This is great! Looking forward to part 2!

[@leechaffee822]

Love watching you and hearing those seagulls!

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Look at me….late to the party….meh it’s ok, I’m here and that is the important thing. I’m so going to follow your instructions and make some of these this week. It is my first time here, got here thru House of Mahalo, via Inky Owl and voila you have a new subscriber. 🥰 I love hearing the gulls in the background of your video. I grew up on Cape Cod, and although I’m not sure where you are yet, it reminds me of home 🥰🥰

[@joaniesjournals5329]

I am watching this video again so that I may make one of these portfolios for Christmas... your videos are always so easy to follow and I simply adore your style... that being said, because I tend to watch the videos, sometimes at night while my hubby is sleeping or when I am washing dishes, I have the “Closed Captions” on... I am used to the interpretation being quite askew because of your British accent, but sometimes it just makes me giggle at what it THINKS you said... todays giggle? Washi Tape... it thought you said, “What’ your tape?”...🤣🤣🤣 Hugs to You and Yours...❤️❤️❤️

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Andrea that’s really really fantastic and amazing thank you so much for all your tips and tricks that you’ve shared with us all. I really really love 💖 this folio and I’m so amazed how you think 💭 these things up. Thank you so much xxx Mags

[@catherinereid8354]

What another amazing tutorial andera loved it all the tips the matting just showing us all your work is incredible beautiful file folio that will hold alot of goodies. Tfs cant wait for more.xx

[@ilovecharleston2]

I enjoy all that you share with us. I can tell that you craft all the time and are good at what you do. I had to laugh when you were scoring the folder. I have enough problems, but if I had tried to score at an angle like that, I would drive that embossing tool allllll over that board... lol ....

[@MoiraGray]

Another fab idea, TFS :)

[@helenevans8559]

Thank you for showing us how you made this,

[@scrapsofjoybytinat5538]

I love this! I have so many file folders laying around that I could use to make these folios. TFS! ❤️

[@marietalamers3039]

Thanks for putting that video together! It was great. Made one with you! Love the use of the music paper. I have a endless supply because I played for church and weddings for more than 25 years. Lessons for 12 years and still have most of the music. I am using the exercise books first! They are the oldest and the my least favorite!

[@triciasloft189]

You're just so freakin talented girl. I love this. I got my daughter hooked on your videos.

Just purchased from you, they’re fabulous. Love this journal TFS.

[@dianecallahan-caro9810]

Helllo and Hello! Like everyone else I love your videos. Is there anyway of posting measurements on the file folders? Hugs xxxxxxxxx

[@carollaws838]

Love it Andrea, and as I got file folders from Carol, I am crafting with you :)

[@belindaosgood]

I can see I'm going to have to invest in some file folders. this is brilliant.

Not sure if you mentioned how you got that look on your file folders before you started? It is amazing when it is done. So creative.

[@artymaze]

Jen McGinnis kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGKvq6h4gsmqpKM it’s exactly the same as I used in that video x

[@donnacarraway9182]

Thank you Andrea! I just love love love these folios! Our file folders are made a bit differently in the US so I wonder if you would give us the maximum length and width of the file folder AFTER you’ve cut the parts off? Then we can figure it out. I’ve never seen the folders with all of the score lines in the middle. Ours just have one score line in the middle but like I said if we have the overall measurements we can figure out (by watching you) what to do! Thank you!!💕💕💕

[@artymaze]

Donna Carraway Thank you these come from the US. Perhaps a different make, as we have some that have a single score line so I know what you mean. I will measure tomorrow for you then add in the description xx

[@donnacarraway9182]

ARTYmaze thank you! I’ll look in some other shops to see if I can find them!! They came from the US...LOL. I thought that they were some special UK. type!😊

[@suzannesears8148]

Thank you for sharing - I have a stack of these folders to use up. Do you live on the coast because the gulls are extremely loud ? Lol

[@cindybrown1461]

Oops, I was just watching this video with you and went to the link that you had down below. I got confused and thought I was watching shabby dabby doo dah, I had commented in ur showing of this folio that Tina was doing this tutorial with your inspiration in mind. Wrong!! Got totally confused! So dont yell at Tina.. bahahaha..

[@korsgaardjournals1422]

Tyvek is very expensive in Denmark and the only thing I can find I have afford to pay are tyvek sleeves you can use when you paint. Can I use them, do you think? I think maybe fabric is going to be a bit bulky or? Thanks for great inspiration 👏👏😀

[@artymaze]

Korsgaard Journals hi I’m really unsure what that is but as long as it’s nice and thin it should be absolutely fine x

[@murwill1]

how did you get the effect on the file folder first please. is that coffee stained?

[@artymaze]

Hi, I usually coffee/tea stain and gesso. X

What did you print your ephemera, used on the pocket, on plz?

I use 180 gsm for ephemera and 90gsm for backgrounds. I have a laser printer x

[@erikakjellsson1756]

I love this! 😍 But the extra flap can’t you make that out of the cut outs from the pocket? Instead of cutting one from the filefolder? Just a thought... I will definitly try to make one of these. 😊 Thank you for sharing your folder! 💕 Hugs, Erika in Sweden

[@artymaze]

Erika Kjellsson Thank you, you can make the flap from anything you want, I do things like this , then I make something with the other file folder with a flap missing which creates another different look. My mind is pretty weird lol. Xx

I’m a little confused about the second brad you placed , doesn’t it go thru the first pocket ? Or did I do something wrong. Yikes ! Lol

Lynn M put mine through the pocket then covered it with washi tape. The pocket is very deep so doesn’t really matter. If you remember you can always put the brad through before matting the large pocket x
