Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Papericious new post.
After a whole Wedding month I was in this Steampunk trendy mood and decided to make a steampunk Pocket letter.
Pocket Letters are very trendy. You use this Baseball/Football cards plastic pockets and make 9 cards that are close to ATC size. Usually this is folded after it's done and you can mail it to the friend.
You also can add some small crafty supplies inside, but I didn't do it this time as this is not for shipping.
One great thing about making this project was to use the collection cover and to cut the cards, almost all of them, from the collection cover only.
Pretty much recycling thing to do.
So on the top you can see all 9 cards that all were made with the same stitched rectangle die as the background using one single sheet of Papericious Pretty Basics cardstock.
Then the top pieces were die cut with the smaller rectangle die mostly from The Vintage Attire cover and glued over the basic cards.
Each card was embellished with die cuts, chipboards, twine, sequins and yet they all should be flat as this " letter"  is going to be folded after all.
I made the central card as the letter title and this is all about a Celebration!
So two cards around are with dancing people die cuts  and they sure celebrate something.
Chipboard words were added over some cards and I added a lot of Papericious sequins on most of the cards using glaze.

Hi All,

It's Priya here from Priya-n-Papers. Those who are following me from the beginning, knows very well how much I love dots and strips. When Papericious came out with the Pretty Basics paper pack I so wanted to use those to make some cute projects. Finally I got it in my DT package and had to use it in a pretty way! I have made a gift set which you can give to someone on her/his birthday.

In the gift set, I have made a shaker card, 3 bookmarks and one interactive gift card holder. To make it look like a set, I have used cute images from MFT Hog Heaven stamp set, colored these with Zig markers and fussy cut. Here is the complete.


Now let's have a look at each of these individually.

Shaker card :

For the shaker card, I used yellow dots and strips pattern paper and used Mama elephant die to create the border. I used white vellum and heat emboss my sentiment on it. For the shaker element, I added a mix of locally bought sequins and finished it with a cute piggy image.

Bookmarks :



One can never have enough bookmarks. It's easy to make and makes an awesome gift of it's own too. I couldn't stop myself to make just one. So I made 3 of these :D . I cut 3 strips of the size  1.75 inches x 6 inches from different colors to make the base and for the contrast, I die-cut 3 circles from matching strip pattern papers. Then I glued 3 piggy images and added matching twines to make the bookmark strings.


This is my favorite of the lot. I worked out a mechanism to lock open the gift card holder. I used Avery Elle mini envelope die and light green dotted pattern paper from the same Pretty Basics paper pack to make the base.
For the lock open, the piggy can be rotated. To achieve this, I added a label sentiment and loosely glued it only to the ends. I curled the label a little so that it has some space for the fussy cut image to slide inside. I used a brad to stick the image to the patter paper. Don't use any adhesive. With the help of a brad, image can be rotated towards right or left to open the flap of the gift card holder. Here is how it opens.


I also tried to make a gif image, just to show the effect.

 its Kavitha here today and i am sharing a layout tutorial with "Happy birthday" collection.

This collection is so happy and bright and i  just love the prints.So i decided to make a birthday theme layout for a little girl.This is totally different from my usual mixed media layouts,its clean and cluttered style with more of colors and layers and still with lots of white space left,hope you like this attempt of mine.

Using the template i cut the pattern papers as shown

Now i glued down the papers and used a fussy cut banner from the pattern paper collection

I cut down some pattern papers in various sizes from the collection for my layers,as my base is white and the pattern papers also has more white i used some papers from pretty basics collection for my first layer so that it will elevate the layout from the background(both the collections matches so well).

Few close ups..

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy crafting,
