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.
