 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Pohemian Crafting here again and today I'm coming to share with you a project inspired by, by somebody, a few days or maybe a week ago, maybe more. I shared a card which you can add to your journals which has that moving, moving part and it looks like envelope, like a closed envelope. Then I have received message from Sue Lawrence and she sent me pictures of her work. Look at that, she stuck two envelopes together and it looks like this when it's closed and like this when it's open. Amazing idea and then I received kind of, you know, same type of project from Michel. So a few of you sent me these pictures and inspired by all of you ladies. I've been thinking if we can extend it somehow it makes like evolution of craft and I came up first with this extension that you can actually add that top envelope to opening. So then we have this moving part and this extension and then I've been thinking a little bit more and now I want to do some, a few things, a little bit different way. But I came up with this and it can be also that bottom part and here we have moving part and also in that underneath and it's not too hard to make it. I hope you will join me today to create it. So this is actually inspired by you and it works all the time since I found this amazing craft family that I am inspired by you all the time and it works for all of us that we see something and then we twist it a little bit and it's like evolution. So what do you need to do? What do you need? What do you need to have to create a project like this? It will be envelopes, different sizes. I've got one small and one little bit bigger, the top one. It was, you know, bigger envelope. I just crop it a little bit to make it smaller to fit it to here to make it a little bit smaller. And I'm using this with window because I would like to have that, you know, point of view, something inside where I can pull out. Then you will need cards for your envelopes which you can fit inside in your envelope. So I have created those two cards. They are two layers of different card stock to make it a little bit stronger and both of them are smaller than my envelopes to fit inside. Then maybe some postmarks, maybe some stamps. I'm gonna use today these post stamps, first class and this one. It's from Inka, Inka, Inka, Inka, Inka, Inka, Inka do. And here you have the postmarks, the name postmarks and also the number of those stamps. I've got them for a long time. So I'm not sure if they are still on the market. Hopefully they are because they are beautiful. Then you will need some string to wrap your envelopes together. Hot glue, it's the good choice to glue that string and also double-sided, foam double-sided tape, it's a good choice to have, you know, to work with to make those layers. So first I forgot to create those opening papers. So I'm gonna just take some paper, something, maybe I can take this one. So to create those openings, you will need some paper to fold, to fold and to create that opening for your envelope. I mean this one or this one. So to create it, just take your envelope, take some paper and fold it in the size of your envelope. This is nothing hard and this paper can actually be a little bit bigger, just, you know, in the size of your envelope or just a little bit bigger. It doesn't matter too much. So I'm using my envelope like my guide and the same I'm gonna do with that bigger one. I'm gonna fold it. This idea, I mean that first idea, was it from me? It was when I was watching Jennifer McGuire Inc. channel and she had there, it was a long time ago, I think two years ago, she created those moving cards for Christmas to wrap like a gift and that was a beautiful card. So that first inspiration was from Jennifer. So from that first Christmas card, we are now in many openings and you can actually do, you know, just a stack of envelopes, big stack of envelopes with all those movable parts and it's not too hard to create it. I'm gonna distress the edges of my papers with my scissors and also with ink to match it all together because my envelopes are t-died. They got that beautiful color. So I'm gonna use t-dye distress ink and I'm gonna distress all these edges on my papers and inside as well, both of them. And first I will start with that bigger. I will start like from bottom and to build up that pile of my envelopes. It will be just two envelopes but you can, you know, you can make it like those Russian dolls, you know, Matryoshka dolls where you can start from the biggest and when you open it, there is smaller and smaller and smaller and you end up with this small one. So you can build up this way, your envelopes. So we're gonna start from that larger one. What I'm gonna do, I already do have the card which I will put inside. So I'm gonna glue my envelope and that process is exactly the same, but I showed you in that video before. So this will be exactly the same. Just glue that envelope, stick all together, then cut a piece of that envelope. I'm gonna cut about one inch from the edge, maybe a little bit more than one inch. I'm gonna put a piece like this, one and a half nearly. I'm gonna glue my card into this small part, slide it in, make sure that it's in the end like this. Then I'm gonna slide my card to this pocket, one inch I guess, about one inch, yeah, like this. I'm gonna take a ruler because I would like to have that, we will punch the hole and I would like to have that hole kind of in the middle, am I still? Yes, and now I'm gonna punch the hole through to all those layers including that card. I'm gonna take my crocodile and punch the hole using that one eight of inch, like this. Now I'm gonna take the twin or the string, I'm gonna put it through to that hole and here on the top I'm gonna make a knot. I can slide it already inside very carefully, oh I hope I didn't glue my envelope somehow wrong, oh come on go inside, go inside, I think I glued that, okay I need to take it off, I think I glued the wrong way my envelope and I'm going back, slide it in, find the hole, put the string through and slide it inside that much better way. I'm gonna make a knot here on the top and make a bow and to make it permanent I'm gonna put there a little bit of hot glue and just glue it down like this. Now I'm gonna take my postmark and I'm gonna glue this postmark here on this shorter piece on that smaller one to make sure it's just glued on that smaller piece, not here on this one because then I will be not able to move it out if I will glue it to both pieces so just on this smaller piece and I'm gonna take those stamps and stamp it a little bit to make it more decorative, I'm terrible with stamps so please do not copy my stamping, you can see that straight away that I took a lot, yeah that can do and here this one I'm gonna take that t-dye distress ink and just very, so I've got my stamping, now I need to finish this this string so to make that stack of envelopes looks like they are wrapped all together you definitely need to use similar or similar same string on all of them to make it look you know like they are all together wrapped with one string so put the string on this last envelope on this bottom envelope, do not glue it to that hole just glue it under that hole make sure it's glued properly so here I will need to put a little bit more glue because it's moving too much and then put one more string this way and it's good to start with this bottom envelope because that next envelope we will just copy where this string going here so when you have wrapped your large envelope take the folded part for your large envelope take double-sided tape or if you don't have foam double-sided tape you can take some chipboards or you know serralli boxes and put I don't know two three glutes together here around that string that movable string this one which is going out and inside so around it not on it but around it and just on this solid piece which is not moving not on that small piece if you have double-sided tape use foam double-sided tape use foam double-sided tape and because we could paper which is exactly same size maybe a little bit bigger than on our envelope we can cover all this all this solid piece take off that backing when you have that backing off try to imagine which way you want to open that envelope if this way or that way and then glue your paper so I want to have that fold here and I want to have that title when I will open my envelope I want to have this title here so I need to glue it this way and glue it to your envelope like this so we have movable part and because we did glue that paper just to that solid piece we have also that opening part and we gonna now use that smaller envelope I'm gonna glue the envelope glue it now I'm going to need a glutinine and I'm gonna put just small piece from the edge of my envelope just really very small piece if you do have that envelope knife it's good time now to use it and open your envelope here I didn't put it properly so I'm not gonna use my envelope uh glutinine again I'm just gonna open that letter how I will probably normally open my letters just flip it off you're gonna check my envelope if this I didn't do it don't play good it's open I'm gonna try my card if my card it's yes it's exactly and I wanted to put there some stamps so I got to hear my beautiful stamps from them holds this writing and I would like to have that writing be seen through to that window so I'm gonna take this and my block stamp and with my block I'm gonna follow the edges of my envelope here and here I'm gonna put the card it's nearly similar oh wish me look I'm terrible with stamping really like literally I'm gonna give it try so I do have my stamping I'm gonna use again distress inks and I'm gonna distress it all around a little bit not too much a little bit of bonus stain I guess just on those edges to make it possible to pull it out from my envelope I'm gonna punch the hole one side of my tag and I'm gonna put their eyelet fix their same string I'm using for wrapping a little bit more this one come on and same string I'm using for wrapping of my envelopes I'm gonna put here to somehow match it all together like this I'm gonna slide it in and I'm gonna take postmark and decorate this envelope the way I want so I'm gonna postmark and again some stamps like this and now we're gonna make a position how how you would like to see that on your on your stack of your envelope so I think I would like to see that this way so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take a string and I'm gonna follow these underneath and these here so if I would like to have that envelope this way I'm gonna take that string and here I'm gonna put a little bit on that envelope just on the end and I have to be careful do not glue that back inside and I'm gonna put this thing here a little bit here like this and then I'm gonna put glue here I'm gonna flip it over this way yes and the string will be here so I'm gonna put glue here underneath just small amount not too much and secure it from here from that opposite side properly because here it will be not seen there will be that opening paper again so that's first string and same way I'm gonna work with that top one here I'm gonna cut piece a little bit longer so I'm gonna make position of that top one top string the way it will be on my envelope I think this way and now I'm gonna wrap this one small hold this end here put that end around the string here so I'm gonna put a little bit of glue right under that wrapped string to hold it on place right here just a little bit now I'm gonna follow this string here on my bottom envelope so this one will be wrapped here flip it over and secure it from the other side be careful when you are working with hot glue do not burn your fingers and same way I'm gonna do it with that with this string just very carefully do not rush with this so here I can see the string on that bottom envelope now I'm gonna just follow the space in there just right here like this so now it's time to use this paper and I would like to have opening again this way so I'm gonna glue it this way on my paper on my envelope here I'm gonna use just normal glue not just because it's leaking on my table right now you can use double sided foam tape here as here as well because of those strings but I actually don't mind too much I'm gonna glue this top to my paper and now we will need to put double sided tape or your serralli boxes on that bottom envelope where is my tape here because of double sided foam tape and again it will be just on that solid piece not on this moving part but just on that solid piece and be careful do not glue anything on this string because that string gets moving up and down so I'm gonna put one piece right here one piece right here because here I hope I do have the envelope yes you can make small marks using pencil you know underneath how far you can go but be very careful do not make that like big marks you don't want to see any unexpected lines on your paper and then just put that glue or not glue I mean foam tape or those chipboard pieces okay here I'm gonna use my scissors and again take off backing from your double sided tape and once you have once you have that backing off take your opening envelope and place it on your position on that position it's good to check your strings if they are on the right position be careful with this do not rush take your time to make it possible and you have nicely wrapped your envelopes with opening here and opening here and pulling up I think I glue it oh yeah I glue it a little bit here with pulling up here and pulling it up here make sure you will never glue this together with that envelope or with this bottom one it did happen to me don't worry it can happen so take your time do not rush and I hope you will enjoy it to make maybe big stack of envelopes so this is my sharing today totally inspired by I'm gonna show you by Sue Laurent Paltny I hope I'm saying that right I'm
