Instructions

1.       Fold your piece of Love Letter DSP in half. Crease all folds with your bone folder. Open flat again with fold line horizontal.

2.       Fold both horizontal edges in approximately 2 inches. You can measure this but it is not important. Make sure both edges are even.

3. see photo for fold lines as follows.

4.       Fold vertically in half.

5.       Fold outside vertical edges into the centre fold making sure all edges are straight.

6.       Unfold and cut up horizontal fold to the third quarter fold line.

7.       Adhere last quarter folds to each other.

8.       Adhere outside edges with thin double sided tape to create the pockets.

9.       Tie ribbon into a knot onto the front top note die and embellish.

10.   Adhere both top notes to the outside of the love letter paper matchiing up both top notes for uniformity. Embellish tags with stamps, photos or journalling.  Tags are 3 ½ x 2 ¼. There are 8 tags inside.

 

The embellishing is not part of this tutorial as its too hard to write..and is just part and parcel of my classes.  My downline Sandra also made one of hers into a voucher book too for her mother in law giving her a free cuppa, trip to town etc. Hers was different to mine and conversly we taught the same instructions differently! lol
