Birthday Flipbook

The first week of October is one of my friend's birthday.. Last year I sent her my first attempt of a pocket letter, which I shouldn't confess wasn't great..

This year I wanted to send her a flipbook.

 Which is all the craze at the moment in the world of crafting, snail mail.. I should confess I have been practising..

My friend loves the colour of turquoise / blue

 and dinos. 

The first thing I made was her birthday card...

I love how this turned out, so flaming cute!

Then I made a dinosaur bookmark and the flipbook.

This is how it turn out.

The front page had a pocket for the birthday card I sent and a tag flap housing the Dino paper clip..

                           

Inside on the first page I was another pocket, with paper I used to make the Flipbook and some Halloween embellishments I made inspired by Yenny @storytaleshop on Instagram..

The little envelopes on the pockets had some washi tape samples

Above is some of the embellishments I made , these are the ones I sent.

Middle page I sent some different colour beads. The next page I put some happy Dino stickers on and attached a tag flap with what I'm up to on!

Below are the goodies I sent her

Last year I sent her some dino stamped pictures and kept some for myself. But I never used them so I popped them into the Flipbook too. With some flowers I diecutted myself

Above is some of the other goodies I sent, one side had gems and the other side I sent some brown and gold Dino stickers.. I got those years ago at the Dorchester Poundland..

21st Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Sorry I meant to put this one on at the end of January.


A while ago I blog about learning a new card making technique called diamond .
After learning and practising the technique, I could not wait to make one for a family member or friend.

At the beginning of the year I started to plan my brother's birthday card.   I knew I was going to do the diamond effect and because it was my brother's 21st, I was going to put a 21 on there......

I had some blue card stock so I folded the card to match the template (I had made before) and popped that to one side. Then I got some pattren paper out and cutter out one square a bit smaller than the top part of the card and the strip for the base of the card. I then stuck the paper onto the card. I thought it was a bit too jazzy, so I found a small blue square of card and a smaller pattern square and stuck the card and paper on. The pattern paper I used was gift paper from the card factory.

I then got out my sliver shiney card and drawen to lines with a grap between. Then  I drawen the words ' Happy Birthday' and cut them out. I just wished I could get my letter prefect.


One of the last thing's I needed to do was the 21. So I got out some gorgeous gold glitter card I bought for Christmas and drawed a 21. Then I cut out the 21 and stuck both the 'Happy Birthday' and the 21 onto the card.
