by Kim Hughes

Report cards...everyone has had them at some point, right? How about a quick and easy way to create a cover for them? These easy folders can be stored on a shelf or hung on a fridge.

Supplies

  • 8" x 12" Cardstock
  • Circle Punch
  • Strong Adhesive
  • Stamps
  • Ink
  • Accessories

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Score 8" x 12" cardstock at 4" and 8".

    Fold at score lines.

  2. Step 2

    Punch half of a circle at the top of the center panel.

  3. Step 3

    Stamp a pattern on red cardstock to add interest to an apple accent.

  4. Step 4

    Cut an apple shape freehand from red stamped paper.

    Cut a leaf from school patterned paper. Loop some wide ribbon for the stem and adhere everything to front of center panel.

    Tip: Stamp a number line at the bottom, then either circle the school year or place an arrow to point to the school year.

    Tip: Place a piece of scrap paper over top so that your fingers won't get inky.

    Remove adhesive liner and create folder, then add finishing touches.

    Add the child's name along the tab along with the school name or any other information that you wish to.

This is really cute, Kim! I could see a lot of other uses for a folder like this. This would be great for maps.
