On My Craft Table - Snail Mail Booklet


More snail mail thingies...





So I've been a busy bee with my creative snail mail again. I'm enjoying myself immensely!

I have created another snail mail booklet for one of my lovely pallies in the UK with a cute Paris theme.



I used the Dovecraft Sweet Paris collection which I'm loving so much! It's so pretty and you get LOADS of papers in each pack - I have all the sizes, that's how much I love this collection! 

So wanna know I made this lovely booklet?

Keep reading and find out, eh?



Supplies I used -

♥ Scissors
♥ Paper cutter / scoring board (I used the WRMK scoring and paper cutter)
♥ Glue stick
♥ Black 12'' by 12'' cardstock
♥ Tape runner and/or scor tape
♥ Magnets (the larger size)
♥ Dovecraft Sweet Paris collection
♥ Tim Holtz Distress ink vintage photo
♥ Project life cards - grid 4''6 (for the letter)




I folded my cardstock to the desired size that I wanted my flaps. 

To create the pocket I folded the bottom up to the size that would fit the Project life grid cards. 

To reduce bulk I cut the fold on the sides.



I then used the scor tape to stick down the fold.

(The tidy version)




I then put the magnets on to the front flaps to use as a closure. (Tip - the easiest way I have found to measure the position exactly is to stick one of the flaps magnets down then put the other magnet on top of the first then peel back the sticky bit of the magnet and close the other flap on top)



Then I started to make it pretty! ♥



I also made another pocket letter! (I know, I seem to be doing loads of them recently! I just love 'em!)


This one has a gold, peach and mint them (these being my favourite colours at the moment!). I used the Teresa Collins Nine and Co. collections. Love, love, LOVE this collection!

The shaker pocket is done by using the We R Memory Keepers photo sleeve fuse tool.

I used my Big-Shot die cut machine to cut out the doily and tag die-cuts.
