Hello everyone! Annie here with a design team project for Papercakes. This week on the blog, we're thinking spring. So as the weather gets warmer, we can look forward to beautiful flowers and sunshine - and I have to say that I am so looking forward to it this year.

For my project this week, I chose to use the Slay It Girl collection and the Black Heart paper collection to add a fun twist on a traditional spring/Easter style mini pocket letter. 

So let's get started:

What I used:

·         Slay It Girl paper collection

·         Black Heart paper collection

·         Black and pink cardstock

·         Pink and white crepe paper

·         Flower die & paperclip

·         Washi, twine, sequins, & adhesive

·         Tiny attacher

·         Baseball card sleeve cut into 1 - 3 paneled strip

To start, I cut 6 pieces of paper down to 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and placed them in the sleeves.

Next, I typed out some spring sentiments on my typewriter and backed them with pink cardstock, so they'd stand out against the patterned papers.

I began making some embellishments that I could add to the cards. I folded some crepe paper and made 2 mini rosettes. I attached a bunny shape that I cut from a black hearts paper and an egg sticker on the other.  On that egg, I glued mini black hearts that I made with my Fiskars mini punch.

I also painted a bunny wood veneer ornament white to match the theme. I used my flower die to make a flower paperclip (as explained in my previous posts).

To make a large egg embellishment, I used an egg-shaped tag (from a recent Target purchase) that I used as a pattern.

I cut out two eggs on patterned paper and cut one of the eggs in half, at a slight angle. I adhered the half piece to the whole egg and added a patterned heart. I then used Tombow mono removable adhesive to adhere it to the card so the recipient could reuse the embellishment.

Then I just started decorating the cards and included my embellishments. I used washi to line the edge of the pocket letter. I also cut banners and used various punches with the patterned paper from both collections to add to the cards, along with the sentiments.

For my pocket letters, I decorate both the front and back. I also included a small sequin mix in a mini clear bag.

When I was finished, I folded the pocket letter up and secured it with black & white twine.

So that's it! Pretty quick and easy.
