Accordion Pocket Tag Folio | Vintage Gatefold Pocket Project

Happy Monday!

In today’s creative project, we are making a tag-shaped pocket folio with a soft vintage feel and plenty of interactive storage.

This project includes a top pocket or side pocket option, two accordion-style pockets on the inside, and an additional gatefold closure that gives the piece a beautiful & layered reveal. The sample has a romantic vintage look with soft inking, rounded pocket edges, and a simple ribbon closure, but this design can be adapted to so many paper styles.

This is a wonderful project for adding journaling cards, tags, notes, small ephemera pieces, or a little handmade surprise inside a journal or happy mail package.

As always, perfection is not at play in the studio. We are building structure, adding softness, and letting the papers guide the final feel.

Thank you for spending time in the studio with me ❤️
