Slider Card EASY DIY - With Options

Hi Friends,

On my YouTube channel I show you how to make this easy slider card, step by step. I also have links to my fave supplies list, where you can find the mini envelope dies I used to make it. However, I know that many of you might not have the dies or want to purchase them, so I have shown you an option here on how you can make your own mini envelopes to make this same design.

Step 1 - Make an envelope. You could use your envelope punch board, or make your own. These are so easy to make. I also have a quick tutorial on my channel on how you can make an easy envelope. See my tutorials playlist.


Step 2 - Mark and cut out your slit on the envelope. I like to use my hole punch to start me off, on each side of the envelope slit.


Step 3 - Cut your slit. Easy peasy. Now you have your own slide envelope that you can add to your projects.


I hope you enjoyed the share. Please leave a comment if you would like to see more projects like this on my channel or if you have suggestions on what else we could use to make this project easier.



The dimensions for the card I made in the video are 2 pieces of cards stock. Card base is 5 7/8" x 4 3/4" and the card top is, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". The rest you measure depending on your envelope size.

Happy Crafting!

Snail Mail Ideas - Stacked Friendship Envelopes


Hello my crafty friends! 

I had so much fun creating this stack of frienship envelopes, so perfect to make and share! I liked the idea of having something that could sit on your desk or could be displayed. A place that holds wonderful pieces of ephemera.

This is my design project for nitwit collections, I really enjoyed putting this together. I can't wait to make so many more! Remember to tag me #lizthepaperproject if you make one, I would love to see what you make! 
 
Hugs,

Snail Mail Ideas - Use up your 12" papers!!



Hello my crafty friends!

I am so happy to have another quick tutorial to add to my channel's playlist. This one is a quick and easy one to make, using up those 12" scrapbook papers that we seem to never be able to finish. Maybe I should stop buying them..nah :-) Let's use them up!!


Snail Mail Ideas!

One page, 4 pockets, and you can then add whatever else you want to the ephemera holder. It is perfect to put in an envelope and send to penpals or in swaps. They can all be so different, depending on how much you decorate and add to them. I've made several and they are all unique. 

Let me know if you are inspired to make one and tag me on Instagram / Facebook or leave a comment below. I would love to see what you have created!!

Hugs,
