How to Organize your Embossing Folders!!

Today I decided to Organize all my embossing folder for my Big Shot.

The above photo shows you how to make your tabs.

Photo 1: I first drew the tab

Photo 2: take a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2" strip of cardstock and fold in half

Photo 3: place your template on top of card stock, matching up the creases

Photo 4: trace onto card stock, each strip you should be able to get 3 tabs

after you cut your tabs out, open and using a black marker outline the edges of the tabs.

Above photo shows you how to attach the tabs

to your separating sheets. (the separating sheets are 7 1/2" x 4").

Photo 1: put to adhesive tabs onto the bottom of the tab.

Photo 2: flip over and line up with top of separating sheet.

Photo 3: flip separating sheet & tab over, place adhesive tabs,

2 on the main body of tab and 2 on the top of the tab.

Photo 4: fold forward and press adhesive tabs to seal.

Now that the tab is on. Take marker and label the tab.

I kept all the pictures from the packaging so I could cut around the

image and adhere to the front of each separator.

My 1st photo in the post shows you my end result.

I used a craft memory box (I bought at Joann's)

Now because I don't have enough folders to fill this box. I placed a few of my cricut cartridge boxes into the front to take up some of the space.

Then I placed the separator and then the folder for each of my folders.

Happy Organizing!!

DIY Mickey Head Embossing Folder

I recently purchased my first Big Shot for the sole purpose of adding a little more texture to my projects. I need TEXTURE and one way is embossing the paper with patterns. I received 2 embossing folders with my bundle. But hey if you knew me you would know 2 folders is not going to be enough for me, but at the same time paying the high prices on these folders isn't me either. So after doing some research on possibilities of making some folders on my own. I created a mickey head design, cut it out and mounted it. I think it is a good first try. I am going to keep fiddling with these and fill my folder box.
