Pre-Cut Kit?
Sometimes it’s nice to skip the measuring and scoring and jump right into the fun part—decorating!
In this week’s YouTube tutorial, I’m sharing how I created these beautiful interactive gatefold folios using a pre-cut and pre-scored folio kit from CrafTreat. The kit comes with everything needed to make two complete folios, making it a wonderful option for beginners or anyone looking for a relaxing paper crafting project.
One of my favorite things about this kit is that the structure is already done for you. Simply fold, assemble, and then let your creativity take over with your favorite patterned papers and embellishments.
For my samples, I chose papers from my Faith Takes Flight collection, available in my Etsy shop. The soft blue florals, elegant patterns, and faith-inspired imagery were a perfect match for this style of folio and created a peaceful, timeless look.
Inside each folio you’ll find:
- Interactive gatefold opening
- Multiple pockets
- Tuck spots for tags and journaling cards
- Plenty of room for photos or keepsakes
- Beautiful opportunities to personalize with your own favorite paper collection
In the video, I also share all of the layering measurements I used so you can recreate the project with confidence.

Why I Love These Kits
Not every project has to start from scratch. Kits like this let you spend more time choosing papers, creating embellishments, and adding your own personal style rather than measuring and cutting cardstock.
They’re also wonderful if you’re:
- New to folio making
- Looking for a quick weekend project
- Creating handmade gifts
- Using up favorite paper collections
- Wanting to focus on decorating instead of construction
I’d Love to See Your Version!
If you make one of these folios, I’d love to see what you create! Whether you use Faith Takes Flight or another favorite paper collection, every folio turns out a little different—and that’s the fun of paper crafting.
Happy crafting!
