In the Cricut Artiste Handbook, it said to cut the Magazine File out at 6". To decorate the Magazine File, I cut a sheet of our gorgeous Pear & Partridge Paper Packet (X7162B) at 5.75". I sponged all of the edges of both sheets of paper with New England Ivy Dye Ink. I then scored and folded the base of the Magazine File. I opened it back up and adhered the patterned paper to the base and then folded it back together, using my bone folder to get a good crisp fold. Whatever you do, do not score and fold the patterned paper and try to adhere it after you do. Ask me how I know. LOL The "spine" will be smaller than the base and it will not work. Again, ask me how I know ..... I SO try to make mistakes work before I abandon them.
The patterned paper did not reach all of the way to the smaller part of the sides so I used a bit of the zip strip to "hide" that "flaw". Then I embellished the paper with bling and filled the Magazine File with the Christmas Cards I made using the Pear & Partridge Cardmaking Workshop on the Go (G1043). These are the cutest cards and I love that they are in a kit that you could take to a crop and put together 15 cards complete with ribbon and bling.
Wouldn't this be a fantastic gift? I think that I would put it in a cello bag, wrap the top with ribbon and cut out a cute tag with my CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge to finish it off. Here is another view of this elegant Magazine File.
