Description: | |
I've become interested in flip books, which are frequently made by letter writers to send to pen pals. We're going to use the same concept but turn it into a journal for our partner. For this swap, everyone is going to follow this YouTube tutorial: which calls for starting with 3 notecards and 3 envelopes. The tutorial explains clearly how to attach them to form the book, and then how to add decorative papers and tags. Be sure each page has some space for journaling, and you can include journaling tags or cards in the pockets. Add decorative elements, like washi tape, stamped images, die cuts, and other embellishments to your pages. Each page should be more than just paper adhered to the base. Go crazy with creativity. Don't forget to decorate the cover and back, and include your name somewhere on the back cover. Paper choices, colors, theme, are all sender's choice. I'm going to limit this to USA swappers due to shipping costs. If there's a big demand for an international swap, feel free to host it and use my idea. :)
