This 8-1/2" x 11" Paper Storage box is approximately
8-3/4" x 5-1/2" x 3" and it has three sections to help you sort your papers! The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out the box base and fold on the score lines. If you are using the Portrait base, you will have two pieces. To create your base piece, adhere the smaller piece on top of the larger using the guidelines on the larger piece. Place adhesive on the two front tabs and the two center tabs.
2. Adhere throw side tabs to the box sides and then bring up the front piece and adhere the sides.
3. Do this for all three boxes.
4. Adhere the boxes together to form one unit.
5. Grab your two side pieces and fold on the score lines. Add adhesive to the side tabs of each.
6. Adhere the side pieces in place to cover.
7. Next grab your panel pieces for the front and back of the box. Fold on the score line and add adhesive to the tab piece of each.
8. Adhere the panels in place.
9. Your box should look like this now.
10. To cover the seam on the bottom of your box, grab the straight panel and place adhesive on the backside.
11. Adhere it to the bottom of the box.
12. Now you are ready to fill your box with your papers!
This 8-1/2" x 11" desk organizer is approximately 8-3/4" x 5-1/2" x 3" and it has one large unit in the back that is able to hold 8-1/2" x 11" paper then four compartments that are each 4-1/4" wide. I have one of my most used paper packs in the back then on the right side compartments I have my Project Life 4x6 cards standing up and my 2x3 cards in sideways. In the left compartments I have 4x6 envelopes and blank cards. The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out all the pieces then start with the 8-1/2"x 11" holder. If you are using a Cameo, this is a single cut large piece (shown in image). If you are using a Portrait, this is a 2-piece cut. You will need to adhere the smaller one on top of the larger one using the three small guidelines on the larger piece. Fold on all the score marks then add adhesive to the two center tabs.
2. Adhere the center tabs to the box side as shown. Then add adhesive to the two long tabs that are on the table still.
3. Bring the sides up and adhere them together so your box looks like this.
4. Next grab your compartment boxes. You will have two of each size (my images just show one pair). Fold on the score lines and add adhesive to the center tabs.
5. Adhere the center tabs to the box sides then apply adhesive along the two long tabs as you did with the other box.
6. Bring the sides up and adhere them together.
7. This image shows all four boxes completed.
8. Place adhesive all over the back of one of the larger compartment boxes.
9. Then adhere the compartment box to the 8-1/2"x11" box as shown.
10. Repeat this for the remaining larger compartment box, adhering them side by side.
11. Next adhere the two smaller compartment boxes as your did previously. Your box should look like this image now.
12. Next grab your cover pieces and fold on the score lines.
13. These fold up like this image. You need to place adhesive all over the inside of the piece and then adhere one to the front of the box and the other to the back of the box. These pieces provide strength for the box and also hide some of the seams.
14. Your box will look like this now.
15. This is what the bottom of the box should look like (one seam).
16. Now your ready to fill your box with goodies!
We are always looking for ways to save for back to school and we are in constant need of folders, always! This new cut file is a fun way to fill both our needs and the best part is the kids like putting them together and making them their own (and I always love when I can get them to craft with me!)!
This cut file is designed for the 12x12 mat and comes with two base pieces, two pocket pieces, and one paper holder (you can cut two if you want one for both sides). The file folder will hold 8-1/2" x 11" paper making it perfect for homework storage or for use in the classroom or home office! Now you can organize your paperwork to match your desk organization! :) Yes, I love that!
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut the two base pieces and fold on the score line provided.
2. Place adhesive under the scored tab and along the right edge of the non-scored piece as shown.
3. Adhere the two together.
4. Place adhesive around the three tabs on the pocked pieces.
5. Adhere the bottom tab to the file folder (showing a side view)
6. Place adhesive all over the back of the paper holder piece (except on the half circle shape).
7. Adhere the paper holder piece to the left side of the folder as shown.
8. Adhere the pocket in place.
9. Adhere the right pocket in the same manner.
10. This is what your file folder will look like now.

All you have to do is pick out the papers and embellish! Isn't it fun!?
