Snail Mail Envelope Flipbook

So I've gone and got me a Youtube channel! I know, right? So instead of awkwardly showing you by picture how to create a certain project - or awkwardly describe it, because let's face it, I'm probably pretty damn bad at it... I can show you! I managed to find the courage, pull my finger out and create my channel. Okay so it's not got many subbies at the moment but I hope to inspire as many people as I can!

So that being said, I'm not going to post all of the videos i have so far in a blog post - because to be honest I just didn't think to do that...I should've done...I know...I suck...but what is done is done and I'll post my videos from now on! (So she says! perhaps I shouldn't make promises when I've had a glass of Weston's vintage cider. You have to like cider down here in the West Country. It's the law. or they kick you out!)

Anyhoo...let's get onto the creative stuff shall we...before I get too shlozzled!

So I created a snail mail envelope flipbook! This one is different to the other's I've created because it's more of a deconstructed envelope. I was planning to keep it open but when I closed the flaps down I saw such great potential! 

I love this theme. I created it by using digital papers - which I love to use as I can print them out as many times as I want and not worry about ruining them and have an endless supply (well...as long as I have the paper and the ink!).

 Please feel free to pay a visit to my channel! And if you're lovely please feel free to comment, subscribe and show a little love! 

Happy crafting, lovelies!!

Much love!

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.
