#10 Envelope Tag/Pocket Card Tutorial - Goody Bag


Hi Friends! Blogger was a little strange yesterday. I don't know if it was my Internet or it was blogger but I could not visit some blogs and the ones I was able to visit, I couldn't view the photos. Sometimes that happens when our Internet is running slow but I could visit other non-blogger sites without any problem. Did any of you have a similar problem?

Well. . .here's a tutorial for you. . .you're like. . hey I've seen this project/tutorial on your blog not too long ago. . .don't you have anything new? LOL!! For months now I've been trying to figure out the best way to transfer my tutorials from a website that I've been using to host and post them directly on to my blog. I want to cancel the web hosting service to reduce my expenses.

Initially, I was trying to directly upload the tutorials on to my blog but it's a pain to have to redo all the tutorials and upload the photos. The other problem is that by blogging the tutorial, I don't have a permanent file on my computer of the tutorials.

So, I decided to convert my tutorials to pdf files so it's uploadable on the web! So again, don't be surprised to see old tutorials with new samples on my blog. I think I won't create any new tutorials until I can convert all of my old tutorials to pdf and post it on my blog. Hope you don't mind.

The tutorial is on a project I named #10 Envelope Tag/Pocket Card but my sample is a little different from the tutorial. Instead of creating a tag, I added a goody bag. You can also insert a cocoa packet rather than candy.

I used the image from Our Craft Lounge stamp set "Life Is Sweet" I colored the image with my copic markers and added a little stickles to the image.

Project Details:

Stamps: Our Craft Lounge Life is Sweet
Paper: MME and CTMH designer paper, SU Chocolate chip
Ink: Copic Markers
Accessories: Fiskar scallop scissors, Coluzzle oval template, Stickles



With the tutorial below, if you want to print it, click on the drop menu that is labeled "iPaper". It'll give you the option to print. You may view a full page of the tutorial by clicking on the icon to the very top right corner. It'll open up a new window with the tutorial. If you just want to enlarge directly on the blog, click on the + button or the magnifying glass! Anyway, try the tutorial out when you have a chance!

Maria, I just love these pocket bags you've created. I have made several of them since I saw the first one you posted.

I have lots of different sized envelopes from stores that carry cards. When the people replace holiday cards they don't keep the envelopes and some of the stores here will sell a big pack of various sizes for 25 cents (there's usually 30-50 in each bundle)
