| Tri-Fold Folder (Just take a piece of paper you like -- double sided is nice -- and make the three folds). |
 |
| I made a tri-fold folder and glued some stamp holders on it (I don't know what you actually call them). Gave them a bit of color with watercolors..... |
 |
| And filled them up with air mail stamps for an air mail loving birthday girl I know.... |
 |
| Here's the cover of the folder -- yup, I've got an airmail thing going on there -- and an air mail envelope I slid it into.... |
 |
| Hope she liked it! (Happy Birthday, Monica!) Now you can make one too..... |
 |
| It 's been fun whipping out these tiny little folders lately.....I use 8x8 paper squares and paint the other side with watercolors and stamp them with rubber stamps... |
 |
| The fun part is decorating theme with themes...I love themes... 8x8 paper makes tiny ones and you use 12x12 paper for larger ones. Just fold them in half and then fold up the bottom to make a pocket -- and you're done! |
 |
| You saw the Valentine tiny accordion book (last post) and here is a Postal Love accordion book.... |
 |
| A little peek inside... |
 |
| And here's another.....I tried to match the postage stamps to the rubber stamps... |
 |
| So, there you go -- that's what I've been doing. What have you been doing? I like to make things. I bet, if you're reading this, you do too. I got those nice, paper sleeve pages for stamps in the mail with some old stamps I ordered online. What do they call them? Any stamp collectors out there who know? They are pages for three ring bingers and you add your stamps. I can think of fun things to do with them. I have never seen them made with that heavy plain craft paper before. I know someone out there will know. My mail art kit is packed. My travel journal is prepped. I have my wool coat and gloves. See you all soon! SEND GOOD MAIL GET GOOD MAIL |
