Celebration Snail Mail / Andrea Gellai

Hello Studioforty friends!

Today I’d like to show you a little Snail Mail that I created for my scrappy friend’s birthday. We got to know each other at a scrapbook workshop six years ago, ever since I send her a scrapbook for her birthdays, and she sends one for mine.

I used Lazy Days collection for the flipbook. I started with cutting a 12 inch patterned paper. I tried to use all of the material, so I decided to create the pockets from the 12 inch paper from itself without separating it from the base. After that I used my Sizzix to cut the tags from PL cards.

I created an envelop that hides my personal letter to her. I decorated the book with color stickers, chipboard frames and word stickers.

Finally I cut a stripe from another patterned paper which is used for holding the book closed.

 The idea came from Liz The Paper Project, you can watch it here.

 Thanks for stopping by here today and happy crafting!
