They are so cute and incredibly simple to make - after the first one, make sure to use a generic folder first so you 'get' what to do, after that, super simple!<br /><br />I'd venture to say that just about anyone who knows me received one of these at Christmas! They're just that cute and easy to make! I started out with the SU! Thoroughly Modern file folders, but three orders later I decided to stop waiting on Mr. Brown and headed out to Office Max and Staples to see what they had. Oh my, I was in file folder puppy love, lol :)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Czy61YAqWrQ/S0zeirGIJxI/AAAAAAAAAto/htNV4f883dk/s1600-h/IMG_2175.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425956338339948306" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Czy61YAqWrQ/S0zeirGIJxI/AAAAAAAAAto/htNV4f883dk/s400/IMG_2175.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>This set of folders came from the clearance shelf at WalMart. The quality isn't as thick as the other sets, but I didn't find that to be a big deal since they're a disposable item. I also didn't realize until I got them home and opened that the insides had large polka dots - how cute!<br /><br />Two tips I found helpful... I cut the left and right sides of the bottom flat that folds up at a slight, maybe 1/4", angle before putting adhesive on it. I also found out after my sister actually used the flap to hold things that by using a foam tape (her idea!) instead of flat adhesive, it makes it easier to 'use' the pocket on the left...gives it a little wiggle room!<br /><br />If you're using a Scor-Pal instead of a paper trimmer with a scoring blade, you can find revised instructions <a href="http://www.papercraftplanet.com/forum/topics/3d-tuesday-3d44-file-folder-1"><span style="color:#993399;">On Papercraft Planet</span></a> that might help. Then again, I tend to do things backwards, so maybe it only helped me ;)<br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234256741226257747.post-63822892155218500822009-08-18T16:43:00.003-04:002009-08-18T16:48:05.607-04:00For the Wild Boys!This was for the DTGD Wild Boys challenge but I forgot to post it here :)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Czy61YAqWrQ/SosS60JBniI/AAAAAAAAAr0/y5WLFi2e2tM/s1600-h/DTGD+For+the+Wild+Boys.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371407782207659554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 329px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Czy61YAqWrQ/SosS60JBniI/AAAAAAAAAr0/y5WLFi2e2tM/s400/DTGD+For+the+Wild+Boys.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><br />Stamps: Oval All, Pink Cat Wyman Riders<br />Paper: Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, Summer Picnic dsp<br />Ink: Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, Only Orange (markers)<br />Accessories: Nesties, SU Scallop Oval Punch, Copics, White Gel Pen </div><div> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234256741226257747.post-85687549359444756212009-07-27T11:29:00.000-04:002009-07-27T11:31:45.417-04:00Blue DP by Me SketchTHIS is why I {{{heart}}} these DTGD challenges!
