I don't have a picture to show you, but I think these directions are for what you want.
It folds in half like a book, the bottom folds up to hold the cards and envelopes. I've made this tons of times for holding greeeting cards 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and matching envelopes.
Here goes:
Take an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and score it at 2 1/2" on the long side. (When this 2 1/2" strip is folded upward, it will be the "pocket" for you to slip in the cards/envies. Score the other side at 5 1/2". Fold the long piece up and then the whole thing in half to get your book/folder. Decorate the front/back as desired.
Punch holes in front and back near the middle to lower middle of the book/folder. Then I use a crop-a-dile to put in eyelets. I then cut 2 different types of ribbon about 6" long. Put 1 of each style together, knot the end and slip the ribbon through the eyele (knots stays on the inside). After you have your ribbon on both sides - insert your cards/envies and tie a pretty bow to hold your book together.
It really is almost faster to make than to read the instructions.
I hope this helps and again I'm sorry I don't have a pix - I gave my last batch away at a Christmas exchange on Monday.
