Prized peony custom made stationary set

Hand made gifts are the most fun to make and the receiver will be trilled if you create and send one of these beautiful stationary sets. I created this set for a blog hop and did promise to return with a tutorial and measurements so here we are.


The cover is simply layered with dip and then the focal point is just one of the stunning flowers created with the prized peony bundle dies.

As you can see here we have layers the inside with dsp and the pockets are lined too. Our standard c6 envelopes fit in here nicely and we also have custom stamped writing paper, and to the right we have a notepad every page stamped too. The bundles are tied up with hand coloured seam binding for an extra special touch.


I do hope you will give this project a whirl, it doesn't take long to make and as you ca see the results are fantastic.

I will leave measurements below and links of the products used. I also have a step by step tutorial on how to construct the folder.

Product List

Measurements

Folder 11 1/2 x 8 1/4" on long side score at 1/4 - 1/2 - 5 1/2 - 6 - 11 - 11 1/4"
turn and on short side score at 1 1/2 - 1 3/4"

Fastening strap and buckle I cut by eye but around 1 1/2" wide to your desired length will be enough.

DSP is cut either 1/4 or 1/2" smaller than panned sizes to layer.

File folder stationary set.

I just love making stationary...I like buying it too but making it can be a bit cheaper on my budget ! I created this cute file folder stationary set with just one sheet of 12 x 12 card stock and some DSP. Great to swap, or gift or for those awesome craft fairs. These are also great additions to journals and planners.

The design is nothing new I simply made it my own by taking the general concept and changing it up to fit what I wanted to go inside. You can do the same learn the basic principle then change it up to suit your own needs.

I have a full process Video tutorial to share with you how to make this file folder and how I turned it into a stationary set.

So give it a try all the measurements are listed below. Go grab a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the video.

happy stamping xx Amanda
