 Hello everyone, welcome to my channel, it's Iwa from Bohemian Crafting and today I'm gonna share with you a small idea if you like to create ATC cards and you like to send them today I'm coming to share with you hopefully easy way to make a peel of envelope envelope which you can send closed and then receiver will have to cut the string and peel off the string around your envelope and open it this envelope contains two pockets for your ATCs and another pockets for some goodies and once you will receive and open that envelope you can also use it in your journals you can make another pocket using this envelope and that's very easy I'm gonna find my glue and I'm gonna put the glue here on this spot and I'm gonna put that envelope on this half of paper same you can do with the other envelope I'm gonna show you this envelope will be open around this way so it will be open this way not long side but this way and it can be glued to your half page as an opening another opening envelope I hope you will enjoy the tutorial so for making these cute envelopes for ATC cards you will need one sheet of 12x12 paper I'm gonna be using this one side print 12x12 and first what I need to do it's cut the 12x12 on two pieces one will be 7 inches and that rest so I'm gonna cut the 7 inch strip and here is the rest and the rest I'm gonna cut on half so I will have 6 and 6 two pieces 6 inches long and 5 inches wide that's all for from cutting now and now we gonna score so I'm gonna grab this large piece of paper and I'm gonna score one quarter of inch this long side one quarter of inch and half inch then I'm gonna flip it on the opposite side and score exactly same one quarter and half then flip it this way and first score lines will be one quarter then half next score line will be 4 and half then 4 and 3 quarter and next score line will be 8 and 3 quarter and 9 that's all for scoring line this large piece and I'm gonna grab these small pieces and score them straight away as well so I'm gonna place my small piece with that 6 inches with that 6 inches side here on the top and I'm gonna score one quarter and 3 eighths here we are making just one eighth of inch gap then next score line will be 3 and 1 eighth and then 3 and 1 quarter then flip it this way and we gonna score one quarter and 3 eighths of inch and then 4 and 4 and 1 eighth I'm gonna score the second part exactly same so long side long side on the top and score one quarter 3 eighths 3 and 1 and 3 and 1 quarter 1 quarter and 3 eighths 4 and 4 and 1 eighth that's all from scoring so now I'm gonna grab my scissors and I also used distress ink to make sure you will have really nice visible view on my scoring lines so it will be easy to explain what I'm doing and I'm gonna cut off pieces which I don't need so this small part I'm gonna cut off this double crossed corner like this right behind those score lines and double crossed corner here just cut it off and on this last strip I'm gonna cut the corners just slightly to make their angle I'm gonna flip it this way where the end is shorter here this is longer so where the end is shorter I'm gonna cut off oh sorry cut it here between the first score line from the corner which I just cut off so here before that score line and here this all piece I'm gonna cut off and again on this small strip I'm gonna cut the corners in the angle then I'm gonna flip it this way and here where the ends are longer I'm gonna cut off this middle part including these two score lines so right behind that second score line I'm gonna cut now I can take a glue where there are these sides I'm gonna keep this part as the flap of my envelope so this part I'm gonna fold including both score lines so I'm gonna fold it in there I'm gonna grab my glue and glue this part to my pocket it will reinforce the entry to my pocket I'm gonna have a look from this side if I do have any kind of access here I'm gonna cut it off to make it straight like this and I'm gonna also take large circle punch and I'm gonna punch on this part I'm gonna punch the entry to my pocket so here on this side and on this side I can watch if I am kinda ish in the middle and I'm gonna punch half circle now I can fold all these score lines I'm gonna also cut the corners with corner punch and here and now I do have prepared the base for my pocket for creating a closure for my pockets I'm gonna be using this old envelope and I'm gonna be punching four circles because I do have two of these pockets but before I will do so I'm gonna punch the hole and then I'm gonna grab my circle punch and punch the circle with that hole in the middle this much more easy this way when I first punch the middle hole of my circle and then I'm kinda managing to put the circle around the hole and I'm trying to put that hole to the middle of my circle I hope that makes sense that sentence maybe it's not hopefully it makes sense what I just said so again and one more and for that circle I did use half inch circle punch from EK Success EK Success circle punch so now I'm gonna grab the ruler I'm gonna bring back my poking tool nearly forgot I'm gonna match both of these envelopes because they are exactly same I already pre-made that second part so they are exactly same so I'm gonna put them together and here where is the flap of my envelopes I'm gonna mark the middle somewhere here, there I will be adding the first half of my closure and I'm gonna take one of these envelopes fold it half and with the pencil or some marker I'm gonna make a dot where I think I supposed to add the second circle a little bit lower here I'm gonna put both of these envelopes together again to match them grab my poking tool and poke the hole now I know where to add my those circles which will be used as a closure so I'm gonna grab one punched circle one of these golden brats or paper fasteners and I'm gonna slide it in and open and here from inside I'm gonna secure it with this medical tape just to make sure that it will be not on the way where I will want to add my ATC cards inside I'm gonna take another one with the circle and I'm gonna do same on the flap of my envelope place it through and secure it here with that medical tape you can put there any kind of washi tape or maybe decorative sticker so I do have prepared one I'm gonna do exactly same on that second one so I do have that closure prepared now I can fold these two folds I'm gonna take a glue put there a glue on the ends of these folds I'm gonna keep that one eight of inch gap here and here now I can fold that rest and glue it together so with this scoring and folding we just created kind of like a dimensional pocket with one eighth of inch gap on three sides I'm gonna let this dry and once you have your envelopes glued together need to hold it here I guess just add there the string to make a closure slide the string under the circle go around here and go around here and I do have my little envelope now I can move to this large part so on one side we do have these two score lines I'm gonna cut off these two double crossed corners just straight cutting here and straight cutting here then I'm gonna cut off this small part same on the opposite side cut it off and now here I'm gonna cut this off including those two score lines so I'm gonna use that first score line as my navigator and cut this off here you can see scored corners here on the bottom so cut them off you can cut them in the angle angle angle cut in the angle cut in the angle and then I'm also cut angle here and here I'm gonna fold these sides totally including both of these score lines and one side I will fold slightly more than it's the score line because I will need to fit this into this space so I need to make it slightly smaller so I'm folding right behind the score line to make it slightly smaller here you can see how much I kind of folded it more I need to cut this one more time in the angle and I can fold this one over that will be pocket I'm gonna keep this one here on the bottom now I'm gonna grab one of these envelopes or pockets I'm gonna fold one side of that top top part totally including both score lines I'm gonna fold it totally put there a glue grab my envelope and place that envelope on that piece and let it dry on the bottom part I need to fold the opposite side so I'm gonna fold this totally I'm gonna put the glue here take another envelope place it there and let it dry and I didn't place these envelopes totally in the end like to the edge I'm gonna show you I'm keeping there just small gap between edge of the paper and my envelope same is here I'm keeping there just small gap and I'm gonna let this dry yeah I should let this should let this dry bear with me we're gonna wait and now it's your piece ready to be decorated so first before I will glue down this pocket here and here you can see why I folded one side a little bit more to make sure I can fit right here so I can close this and I can then lift up this side that's why I folded one side slightly more than it was scored so I do have prepared that piece I can decorate it with some ephemeras I guess so for decorating I've got here some ephemeras stamped images and this washi tape because the background it's very busy I chose this solid color from my washi tapes I think it will look awesome and it will be very visible if I will put there some very busy washi tape it can kind of get lost on this background I'm gonna place here strip of my washi tape and then I will choose some ephemeras kind of like make a little layout I'm gonna distress the edges I'm gonna be using vintage photo distress ink and little bit distress the edges also here and create simple little layout I can used also sewing machine and add there some sewing right here maybe piece of lace will be nice to add there and maybe some stickers there's one from these stamped images maybe two why not oh yeah two I'm gonna place that two images of this and now I can add my pocket here into my envelope using also stencil the steam hole stencil splatters it's called splatters and it's perfect for stenciling kind of like coffee stain paper like this here I can add my pocket I'm gonna take a glue and glue my pocket right here gonna add these stamped images on this small pocket just like decoration okay here I can add another ephemera maybe this one and if I will glue it on three sides here, here and here and glue it down I can have pocket from this side so I'm gonna distress the edges this way so here and here sit on my board I do have pocket from this side and I do have pocket here this way I can fold these down for gluing this envelope and preparing this envelope to be sent I'm gonna add one more thing and that's this this thread it's nice visible and it's easy to add it to my envelope I will need double sided tape and I'm gonna put double sided tape on the middle part here on the start and the finish of that middle part so here and here you don't need big piece of that double sided tape you just need to catch the string that's all then I'm gonna go kind of like around that envelope so here on that side and again just on the start and on the end and here on the start and on the end I'm gonna take the string take off the covering paper from my double sided tape now I'm gonna take the double sided tape place quite big amount the leg of this envelope envelope I will say kind of like over the edge I'm gonna keep it there and then I'm gonna glue the string here in that middle here in that middle now I'm gonna go here and here and here and again here on this end I'm gonna keep quite similar leg like I do have here once I will add there cards I can just ATC card, some goodies and some letters to those pockets I can just close the envelope I'm gonna fold this leg here so I can just close the envelope keep the string around and I'm gonna put the glue here on this edge and glue it over and same I'm gonna do these two folds I'm gonna put the glue on the end fold it over and glue it down put the glue here on the end fold it over and glue it down that way I did seal all that envelope I'm gonna wait until it's dry so once your sides are nice and sealed and they are holding together you just need to secure these ends to make sure they will survive through the traveling so I'm gonna across them here and I'm gonna be using this wax and secure them with a wax and now my envelope is ready to be shipped here I do have nice space for placing label with the name and address and I can ship that envelope straight away once the receiver will get the envelope it's good to have here some know how to open it that this can be open and kept as a booklet if they will do it right so you just need to cut one side of the string and then use that string like peeling off thingy so just hold that string and peel that string or pull that string around your envelope once you are on the end you do have your pocket here your pocket here and you do have your pockets with 80s I have prepared from other piece of the 12 by 12 I prepared another envelope and here I'm gonna show you how you can add the string a little bit different way that you will have closure on the opposite way and then you will open this way so with this slightly different closing we will glue the string on this side and this bottom side so here I'm gonna put double sided tape here I'm gonna put double sided tape here I'm gonna put double sided tape and here just to hold the string on the right spots I'm gonna take off the covering paper from my double sided tape and now I'm gonna take a string I'm gonna keep here about this leg because it will be crossed that way so about this leg and from here I'm gonna start to put my string on these folds here and here and here I'm gonna keep the string just in there when I will be closing that envelope I will pay attention so first I'm gonna glue the side where the string is not glued with double sided tape so I'm gonna put the string here cut about the same leg right here keep the envelope folded the right way I'm gonna grab my glue and put the glue here on that end hold the string and fold this over and glue this side of my envelope and I'm gonna wait till this is dry once this side is dry I can flip it over make sure that both strings are out of my envelope I'm gonna put the glue here on this fold or this end and the other end fold them over and glue it to close my envelope once all my sides are sealed I'm gonna grab the strings I'm gonna cross them here and again I'm gonna be using wax technique to seal it so now my envelope is ready to be shipped I do have here space for placing label with the address and then the envelope will be ready to ship need to let it dry properly I see, make sure everything is sealed and again once the receiver will get the envelope they just need to cut one side of the string and then same way to hold the envelope I do have here a little bit of my lace hold the envelope and peel it around once they are here they can open the little booklet and there they do have two pockets for ATC cards then two another pockets for some goodies and letter and message for some note card for making my ATC cards I'm gonna be using this leftover from wrapping paper this beautiful Western creative paper punch which is punching the top and playing cards for ATC cards, I wanted to say I'm gonna be using playing cards as my base so first what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take one of these cards slide it in and here I will try to manage to see this mark and this mark in some kind of same position to make sure I am in the middle ish and hope for the best and punch so that way I do have this pattern and I do have beautiful top so maybe I can use it for some game game journal now this inside I'm just gonna grab the ruler and knife and cut that that pattern to the frame gonna cut this off so now I do have perfect frame for my ATC card I can keep this maybe I will make it as a decoration now I'm gonna take double sided tape I think first I would like to see there a little bit of granginess or vintage look so I'm gonna take vintage photo Distress Ink this is by the way I do get many questions about this this is by the way the buffering cube for nails I just cut it on half and I'm using this tool for ages dressing for editing color to my projects so just very softly out there a little bit of vintage feel I'm gonna take my double sided tape and put the double sided tape here and on the top and I think that will be enough now I'm gonna take my beautiful wintery wrapping wrapping foil I'm not sure how you call this it's like wrapping foil or you know for gifts and I'm just gonna place it over it and cut the shape of that card like this I would like to use somehow these small parts so I'm gonna take my nail file and I'm gonna just sand the edges and then distress them with same ink I did sand it with my nail file just because it does have glossy coat that top coat and it doesn't get stick with distress ink so well so with this sanding I can get my distress ink stuck to that piece much much better I'm gonna put strip of double sided tape in there cause I do have there that acetate sheet or that film wrapping paper or what is it and now I can place it right here as a decoration and I would like to get some stitching to my little card and lately I felt in love with one stitching on my sewing machine I'm still on J feed because the swapping of these I don't wanna mess up with my sewing machine this is like first time when I do have proper electric sewing machine so I'm still on that this is J which you can see here and number 5 I'm gonna show you here on the pictures number 5 is this one it's zigzag but double stitched so that's what I'm gonna use on my stitching so for those who will ask me which type of stitching is that it's number 5 on a J feed and this is how the stitching looks like as you can see it's zigzag but it's stitched through to that zigzag stitching so I add that stitching all around of my card now I can take some embellishments for that I'm gonna be using my mini labels with numbers and also these beautiful transparent stickers these are called very love I had them last year in my Etsy shop I do have other stickers right now in there if you're interested to have a look and I'm gonna be using my stickers oh, upside down this could be very cute and it looks like this it's beautifully transparent it does have those stars and kind of like snow flakes or snowy droppings I think for winter these are really cute I can put there maybe some small stamp over stamp it right here so now I just need to make a bunch of them and put them into my pockets I hope you did enjoy this tutorial and you had a fun hopefully you will try out this pocket envelope here it's already dry so I can show you this can be used as another pocket this way and I can still open it I'm just gonna slide them out I can still open my envelope and have a look what kind of goodies I do have inside so this is all my sharing for today thank you so so much for visiting me today thank you so much for spending your time with me have a wonderful day take care about yourself and I will see you soon bye
