 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian Crafting and today We're gonna create something from this large envelope No matter how large envelope you have because you know, it's just folding. I'm not gonna use a ruler or any measurement What I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut these three sides and make two pieces of my envelope So I will have this one Now I'm gonna take this Like pocket one not with that flap I'm gonna fold it half on these Long side long sides together and because my Envelope has here kind of not straight edge. I'm gonna cut it straight Like this I took that sticky strip like my navigator and with my scissors I just cut it straight and I'm gonna cut this Again on two pieces on half where I fold it So I do have two long strips now I'm gonna take one and fold it on half And I'm gonna take that another one I'm gonna fold those short sides together and here it's just a little bit Make a mark where is the middle of my paper and then I'm gonna fold these Edges to that middle middle mark like this So I do have kind of like a gatefold Opening here Now I'm gonna take a ruler, but it's just because I don't know how to draw straight lines So that will be my helper help This will be open like this. So I'm gonna flip it over and On one edge no matter which one you're gonna choose. I'm gonna draw a line about half inch From the edge Draw a line And I'm gonna make small marks here. I'm using my centimeter, but you don't have to you can if you are good with drawing you can just do in Similar position I'm making two and three Centimeters from the edge and on that opposite side. I'm gonna make same marks. It's just to Give me that measurement because I need to have everything neat and even that's that's why but you don't have to do This one if you are good with drawing just take your pencil and draw kind of like entry to the pocket and then Take your scissors and Where you draw the entry for your pocket the decorative entry for your pocket just cut up entry for your pocket and Because I need to have everything neat and even that's why I'm using that ruler And when we flip it over we've got beautiful entry for the pocket I'm gonna take that Other part which we folded half and I'm gonna just carefully put together these two corners where it's the fold of my paper. I Don't want to press it too much. I don't want to make that that middle fold I'm just gonna put together these two corners and with my scissors. I'm gonna cut the corners a little bit decorative way Like this, that's all now take that large piece and take your two small parts And I'm gonna place them straight with the edge of my large piece here and here and I'm gonna fold this bottom part over These are just helping me to make sure That that bottom part bottom piece will fit those folded pieces Like this check if you can fit in there Fit in there. It looks I folded it Nicely So now I'm gonna cut off this small strip like this And because I need to have everything you know mirroring I would like to have this edge here as well So again, I'm gonna fold these two corners and With my scissors, I'm gonna follow the shape of this corner So I do have similar edges on both sides that's important for me Now we're gonna take this small gate fold piece And before I will do anything else. I like to have my edges kind of like in vintage style So for that I'm gonna use Antiklinen distress ink, but if you are doing this one at the work, you probably don't have distress ink around There is a way how you can make a little bit shades on the edges. Just take normal pencil and very carefully We did this at school back in the days very carefully go kind of like with flat that graphite stick inside over the edges If you will be a little bit harder Pencils can be always kind of like smush smush smush smush and it will makes beautiful Shades on the edges and it always so looks so neat. It always looks much much better if you do have Those edges kind of like Ended with that with a color so you can take normal pencil or maybe you do have colored pencils Make your shades and if you will have somewhere a little bit more of that pencil just smush smush smush Smush it all over of that edge and it will make beautiful shades It will do that decorative edge. So just with that graphite stick I'm going kind of like flat on My paper with that graphite stick not this way but to keep it nice and flat And if you do have good pencil Just smush smush smush smush smush smush. It will be a little bit dirty work But I'm telling you it's worth it. You will create beautiful edges. So I am making those Shades also inside of my gatefold card and here you can see the difference When you do have those shadings and when you don't have those shadings This looks much more better and how you can do it here in the fold. Just fold it opposite way And go with your pencil very lightly you don't have to make a like a large Smooshing or light a large shades and flip it over and do same from opposite side to make it even and And smush smush smush smush and you did beautiful shading very soft one And it's much more decorative than when is it just plain So now make it even more decorative and interesting. I'm gonna use some pen. I'm gonna use this white gel pen I'm gonna put link for this gel pen down below I found it on Amazon and I have to say this is the I think the best one I found till now I tried many of them and this one is the best one I found You can use the normal Blue pen or a black pen. I'm gonna show you how it looks like when you use blue Pen for making decorative stitching all around. We're gonna do some doodling If you do like stitching look you can do stitching. Maybe you are a quote person So take your time and write some quote all around with small letters and Make it interesting You can write there have a good day or if you are planning to do this one as as your gift for someone Put your message for that person all around so they can read something from you It will be really interesting. It will be beautiful and it will be surprised for them So take your time take your pencil pen anything you would like to take and do your doodling You can create some mini pictures. You cannot draw anything you want. Just take your time be yourself So your small piece can looks like this I'm gonna fold it because my gel pen dried already. That's good I can do some crazy smushes and I'm gonna do some easy doodling here all around as well So now it looks like this I do have doodling on the top and I do have some doodling in inside with small quotes short quotes I'm gonna do exactly same on this part with the doodling and maybe with small quotes also that the distressing or Coloring the edges with my pencil and I'm gonna color the edges of my Large piece as well here this one. So I do have my three pieces The black pencil on the edges and that doodling from all sides I don't have doodling from one side on this large piece, but I did that black pencil shading Now I'm gonna take my gatefold thingy And I'm gonna put the glue on three sides where it's not that entry I created for my pockets So I'm gonna put the glue here and here and here flip it over and place my piece about one eighth of inch From the edge and my gel pen it's not Dry it Be careful with gel pen if you do have some nice dress you can smash the gel pen Before it's dry you can smash the gel pen on your on your clothes. So be careful So with this we created pocket here. I need to let it run. Oh, huh? Okay? So I'm gonna close my gatefold card I'm gonna take this long edge and I'm gonna fold that long edge around my pocket here Make sure that these sides are matching So I do have my side pocket With that gatefold I'm gonna fold it this way I'm gonna take this long strip we cut from the envelope and here I'm gonna fold it about I Think half inch around the edge I'm gonna match this with this side here and here about half inch. I'm gonna fold that paper Here to make sure it's similar. It's like matching the edge of my Paper and I'm gonna fold it here and with my scissors I'm gonna cut about half inch here like this So we created pocket for this spot I'm gonna make again some decorative entry and this time I'm gonna make it very easy way I'm gonna just fold this paper half because I don't mind if there will be a little bit, you know Folded paper. I'm gonna take my scissors. Sorry for that noise and with my scissors. I'm gonna kind of like Just decoratively cut and I do have this one So I'm gonna take my pencil and with my pencil I'm gonna go first again all over of the edges and Make that Shading like this and Now gel pen so I do have my easy stitching all around I'm gonna flip it over take a glue and put the glue on these two folds and I created Here and here And on the bottom of that pocket I created here And I'm gonna place it right here. I'm gonna keep the gap between that gatefold folding and Between the pocket I'm not sure how to call that. I hate gatefold Thingy. I'm keeping about one quarter of inch just to make sure I can fit there nicely And hopefully it will be straight. Now I'm gonna take this part I'm gonna place it here Kind of like in the middle On my pocket here. It's just measuring now where I should put a glue. I'm gonna take a glue and put a glue Here Now I'm gonna take my this folded Folded part we created and with that fold I'm gonna place it on the top in the middle of my pocket here and Make it a little bit peeking out from all this composition. So I think This way To make sure here It's nice and straight Is it straight or I need to Oh Should use a liquid glue it gives you the time It gives you that time to make sure you have everything you need So now I can fold this and I can fold this And as you can see I didn't do any doodling here and it does have reason I Wanted to do doodling on the spots. I do have folded which means I'm gonna take my Gel pen and here I'm gonna make a frame Here I'm gonna do the frame all around and also on the backside to make sure I I am doodling with the Folded spots So I'm gonna do my doodling now So I do have my small Doodling all around also on the backside And I'm gonna take that last piece we have here this one And I'm gonna take this a last pocket Make a position of this piece This is from you know from that flap. So here I can fold it actually I'm gonna slide it here And I'm gonna fold that opposite side Like this I'm gonna fold it over the edge like this I'm gonna cut this a little bit shorter. Oh my my my scissors are making kind of crazy noises I'm gonna cut also These corners here Because it will don't make bulks, so I do have cut it corners okay So I'm done with my doodling and shading. I'm gonna take a glue Put glue on these two folds here and here Fold it. I'm gonna Place my paper this way now Oh Put this strip on your first panel do not place it on The fold place it on your first panel. That's why I made that doodling I'm gonna show you what I mean place it close to the edge here But not too much if you did some doodling it will be nice to see it like this and We just created closure for our flap like this and With that you have created beautiful booklet which you can decorate The way you like. I'm gonna also this should be dry already. So I'm gonna carefully Fold it up to make sure those sides are straight Like this. Yes, and I think I'm gonna add small doodling on that fold here as well You know to draw those lines It's so easy. It's quite relaxing. I have to say and It makes another decorative part on your creation So you don't need to then to add that too much, you know Things it will make beautiful decoration.
