Hi Authentique Fans! Are you enjoying the Authentique Fourth of July/Summertime Group Hop from the Design Team? If you missed anything just scroll back a day or two to see all those fabulous and inspiring projects! I created a Liberty Fourth of July Folio with a tutorial which you can find on my personal blog... Pam Bray Designs. Just click to HERE to get all the details!

Remember though....you can incorporate any of the ideas, tutorial or projects using any of all of Authentique beautiful collections! Authentique has the most wonderful papers to create with! Don't you think:?

Folios are different sizes of folded papers with binds. They always have hidden pieces...like tags, Epherema Cards, waterfall mats, candy, or like this my Liberty Folio with a hidden mini album! Really the sky is the limit to what you can hide in a folio to add that little extra surprise. They are so fun to create and even more fun to gift. I hope you stop by Pam Bray Designs! Enjoy Pam

Happy Fourth of July! I wanted to grab a few of my older papers from the Liberty collection and create something that would be both fun and functional.

The pinwheel is a five-point 3D pinwheel, that has been glued to a straw. Instead of the center that was present in the cut file, I just added a simple vintage brad. This was then glued into the inside of the star gift bag. Gluing it in the bag makes the placement of the pinwheel permanent. Hot glue works the best for this.

The front of the star gift bag is a layered front. The star is simply white cardstock that has been glued using liquid glue, and then the layers of the Liberty collection papers are layered with foam adhesive.

To top this packaging off, simply find white or white patterned tissue and add in your present. No present... This also doubles as a home decor item! Hope this inspires you, and have a great 4th of July.
