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

[@natashachesney178]

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

[@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!

[@mariaparra8760]

Great ideas and make it look so easy.

[@aliceadler4569]

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

[@gm2mx]

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.

[@naidacreations4472]

Thanks for sharing such beautiful ideas. God bless you.

[@carolyoung3164]

Awesome!Cute,too.And useful.

[@sweetsue51]

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

[@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🤗❣

[@sandijesperson9069]

Excellent!! This could be gift TO ME!!!

[@gluckauspapier4357]

Wow, they are just gorgeous!!! Thanks for always sharing your ideas. I love your channel!

[@staceydailey6394]

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!

[@Shonbonable]

Thank you for thinking of us teachers.

[@jukes243]

Been making these like mad. So cute. The 6 x 6 size is adorable. I'm tying a ribbon around "3" of them and giving them to the girls in our youth group. TYFS!

[@sherylbrownhill3999]

I absolutely love this!

[@zoilarivera8866]

One of the best informative, easy tutorial I have seen❤️❤️. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻

[@susantobin719]

Another great idea!! Thanks 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.

[@l.nadinebrockharris2022]

I love all your crafty paper idea's wish I could afford to get some paper and try so. 🤗❤

[@missyb.623]

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

[@ssharp11]

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

[@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.

[@gardenguru1008]

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

[@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

[@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!!

[@liddiabeeman9597]

Very nice video. Love that you show how to use up my paper.

[@mashakaslifejourney8253]

Best series ever,!!!😀👍🏾

[@debbiebrewington7635]

This is great!! Thank you!!

[@miyoshil3732]

Love love love this..ty

[@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?

[@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.

[@gloriabarletta2491]

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

[@karenarmfield8573]

I love them!!! Made two already.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@barbarahatfield9658]

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

[@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!

[@kristaebayless5906]

Love these. I’m going to make these and use my paper UP!!!!❤️👏❤️

[@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.

[@maraconcepcion8948]

[@kayepowers4725]

[@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!!

[@12lesflo]

Guuuuuurl I loved that folder

[@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.

[@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.

[@sheilaperl4155]

I can’t wait for your new craft series, I just loved this use up your paper series! You are so creative and personable , I love all your videos!
