My First Pocket Letter!

Hi Everyone!

Today I want to share with you my first Pocket Letter that I made! Pocket Letters are a very trending thing right now and I've been curious about them for quite a while now. So when my friend Diane (from Ai Design Team) asked if anyone wanted to exchange Pocket Letters I jumped at the chance! I watched a ton of Youtube videos and read lots of blogs to see just what you needed to do. Here is my finished letter.

The basic idea is that you use a 9 Pocket Trading Card Protector and fill each pocket with anything you like. It's sort of like making 9 ATC cards. You can add goodies if you like and usually you add a little note as well. The idea is then you can fold the page protector and mail it in a standard size 10 envelope. For me I mailed mine flat in a bubble envelope to make sure it got to Diane is good shape!

I am using all papers and some ephemera from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge 6x6 paper collection.  I backed all my design papers with plain black cardstock. The doll stamp is from the Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll line and is named "Olive".  I coloured her with my Copics and Paper pieced her outfit. She even has some bling jewellery on!

 I added little goodies in some of the pockets for her to use. I tried to stay with the same colour scheme for the goodies. I made the heart filled with sequins using my We Are Memory Keepers Fuse Tool and a pocket page.

I added a tiny envelope that contained a letter that is sort of an "all about me". Sorry you can't see what I wrote LOL, you'll have to do a swap with me to find out!! 

I hope Diane likes the Pocket Letter! As soon as I receive hers and take some pictures I will show you what she sent me!

Happy Crafting!

Snowman Sled Ride!

Hi High Hope Fans!

Today I wanted to share a card I created using the High Hopes stamp called Snowman Sled Ride! I am really loving all the cute Snowmen in the New Joys of the Season release! They just keep getting cuter and cuter!

For this card I used my Silhouette machine and a file from the Silhouette store to cut out this card base in red. Then using paper from the Bo Bunny Dear Santa 6x6 collection I paper pieced the snowman's scarf and added little decorative corners. I used some glue and glitter to make the snow and a few Pine Green YNS gumdrops in each corner finished off my card.

I used the same paper on the inside as I used on the scarf to tie it all together! The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Glow of Christmas".

Snowman Snowball!

Happy Saturday!

Today I wanted to share with you a card I made using the super cute Snowman Snowball! I just love how the Snowmen are all part of the big snowball and look like they are having a blast! I can just picture them barrelling down the hill arms and heads going everywhere LOL!

I'm using paper from the Echo Park The Story of Christmas 6x6 collection today. I've added my favourite thing.....you guessed it Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to each of the Snowmen! The sentiment is from High Hopes Stamps (Lora's other store) and is called "Dot Warm Winter Wishes". A few red YNS gumdrops, some twine and a really cute Snowman charm finish everything off.

On the inside the High Hopes sentiment is called "Unassembled Script".
