Envelope-book


Envelope-book made for a friend’s birthday. Instructions for envelope-books are very easily found online - this was one created using cloth tape for the spine binding. The front cover design is my own - hand-drawn, outlined and coloured in with glitter glue. :) The quote on the spine is ‘Stretch your mind beyond fantastic, Dreams are made of strong elastic’ (Mary Poppins!)

Thank you for the Awesome Experience

Hey guys!

I'm still compiling the improvised tools photos, so I guess I'll start off with one of the cards I made some time back (not the first ever card I made, but rather the earliest of the ones I started documenting).


Simple thank you card (I say 'simple', but it probably took me a few hours just to decide what I wanted to do. Too much of a nitpicky perfectionist) made from apple green cardstock and christmas-tree patterned tissue paper. 

The words are handwritten in black Aqualip pen, save for the 'Awesome!' which is from a pack of rub-ons I bought during a craft shop sale in Singapore (it was still expensive! But useful.). The card front is decorated with flower punch-outs (you can see the punch in the picture), as well as tiny butterfly punch-outs. I finished off the cover with scattered dots of light blue/silver glitter glue (RM4.50 from Kinokuniya, I CAN'T FIND IT ANYMORE TT^TT ) so it glittered very prettily in the light. 

The envelope is handmade from stiff kraft paper (RM1.50 for a big roll from Popular bookstore, I really really love the texture) and decorated to match the card. 

Now that I think about it, I will post a video or a tutorial on how to make those envelopes soon. :)
