| Doesn't this just look delicious? Airmail? Postal colors?Airmail washi clips? a lovely jumble of colors? I'm mad about making little booklets..... |
 |
| Here they are all spread out...which ones should I keep and which ones should I give away? Hard to decide. I usually want to keep everything I make but my higher self manages to rise above that and I do share. |
 |
| Some inside pages -- I used security papers, mailing envelopes, postal forms, red vellum, colored paper from Scrap ..... |
 |
| ...and some pages from a postal history catalog I had sitting around...It is really fun to put these booklets together using ephemera you have sitting around. |
 |
| I'm just an open book.... |
 |
| I have already popped a bunch of booklets into various envelopes and sent them on their way... |
 |
| PIE booklet This one is for Karen who just loves to make (and eat) pie. |
 |
| Inside the pie booklet....(I wish Karen would mail me a pie). |
 |
| A vintage Vancouver, BC postcard became a little booklet for someone who lives there... |
 |
| National Postal Museum postcards are folded in half to make some postally themed booklets.. |
 |
| Here's another... |
 |
| I re-used some postal forms that had been left for me...missed delivery, etc |
 |
| These two lovely (?) Senoritas went to KSP and MW...the covers are postcard from a vintage Mexican Postcards show here in SF. Couldn't let those ladies go to waste, could I? |
 |
| Inside pages... To make the booklets: Pick up interesting postcards of various sizes in your travels around your town. Fold them in half, measure and cut pages to fit inside. Staple together on the spine. Decorate with labels and rubber stamps. And there you are! I like making them in themes, as you can see -- postal, pie making, etc I think it would be wonderful to make them using ephemera about where you live. I'm going to make a San Francisco booklet. And I'd love to get booklets from wherever you live so if anyone wants to send me any feel free to do it! |
 |
| OUTGOING MAIL I had a lot of outgoing mail this week as always....but I am running out of room today so I'll just show you these. If you follow Cappuccino And Art using Google reader, remember it is shutting down very soon. I switched my blog reading to Feedly. So, are you inspired to cut and staple? I hope so -- it is a lot of fun. I have been working on lots more projects -- and I'll show you some of them next post. Making Postal ATC's too -- anyone want to trade? |
