Make it Monday # 4
Hey Everyone,
I have had one of those days……you know where you have like 10 things on the list, and you get only half of 3 of them done!!! It can be the most frustrating feeling…..! Now how come somedays you get like up to 8 on your list done and it is only 9:30am, and other days it just does not want to happen….LOL!
Well I spent lots of time this morning taking photos of my stuff to show you all, then went to upload it onto the computer, and wham bam, I somehow deleted the photos I just took…..All 142 of them!!! I really am still not sure how I did it, but I did. Now I could be like others…..and blame the equipment…..(hey Karen…hehehe) but I have just clearly stated what an idiot I am!
So I really had to cool down a little before I tackled the load of projects with the camera in hand again. But now I think I will be here for a very long time editing, and uploading them all.
I do however have this week’s Make it Monday all ready for you. So here it is 
Letter Sets
Materials Required:
Paper trimmer
12 x12 textured cardstock
Stamps
Stamp pads
Designer series paper
Ribbon
Punches
Dimensionals
Step 1:
Cut a 12 x 12 cardstock at 20cm wide. The extra strip will be used for the pockets on the inside.
Step 2:
Score your cardstock at 14.5cm, and then again 1cm over so that you create a spine
Step 3:
Fold your carstock to make a folder
Step 4:
Corner round each corner of the folder
Step 5:
Take the extra strip and cut it at 14cm wide, then cut another one for the other pocket
Step 6:
Cut 3, 7 x 14cm pieces of DS paper, then cut 3, 14 x 3 cm strips of DS paper
Step 7:
Add the papers to the pockets which you have also corner rounded
Step 8:
Add the ribbon and tuck it at the back of the pockets and tape it down
Step 9 :
Add a length of ribbon to either side of the inside of the folder, as these will be used to tie the folder up
Add tape to the 2 sides and the bottom of the pocket as close to the edges as possible,
and place it onto the inside of the folder
Step 10:
Decorate the inside right hand pocket with some Hodgepodge hardware
Step 11:
Make sure you have the ribbon matching from the pockets, and the ribbon to tie the folder closed
Step 12:
Stamp up paper that is 12 x 17cm, and the envelopes to go in the folder
Step 13:
Placing them in the pockets it should look like this
Step 14:
Decorate the front, and then tie it off to finish…..and vvvwwwhallaah…. you have a letter set to give some gorgeous person in your life
