How to Make this Dinky Tri Part Folio. – Simply Said – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK
I’m so excited to share today’s project with you — a sweet and simple Dinky Tri Part Folio!
It’s a quick, fun make that’s full of possibilities, and perfect for using those gorgeous papers we all love to collect.

I made two versions: one using the delicate, botanical Flowering Meadow paper (above) and the other bursting with colour from the vibrant Lovely as a Garden paper (below). You can see both in the pictures — aren’t they just the cutest?

These little folios are ideal for slipping into your bag, gifting to a friend, or even using as a mini card wallet or notebook holder. I love how each fold reveals something a little special!
Why You’ll Love This Dinky Tri Part Folio
- Small but Mighty: It may be dinky, but it’s packed with charm and functionality.
- Perfect for Gifts: we can always use a small notebook to jot done ideas.
- Great Way to Use Pretty Paper: Let those stunning designs shine front and centre.
- Beginner Friendly: A simple fold-and-stick project with maximum wow factor!
Both designs feature a simple “Just a Note” sentiment on the front, layered on coordinating cardstock circles, and a touch of sparkle with a rhinestone accent. I kept the decoration minimal to let those gorgeous papers do the talking!

Tips for Making Your Own Tri Part Folio
- Choose patterned papers that make you smile — the front cover is the star!
- Use coordinating cardstock for a polished, professional look.
- Stick with strong adhesives to keep the folds and layers nice and secure.
- Add embellishments sparingly —This is going to go in people’s bags so you don’t want embellishments to be knocked off.
In the video tutorial linked below, I show you step-by-step how to create this Tri Part Folio from scratch. You’ll be amazed how quickly it comes together!
Here’s a little peek inside:
