DIY Scrapbooking host Sandi Genovese shares an interactive idea for adding journaling, photographs and souvenirs to a scrapbook page -- an envelope pocket. Note: Featured envelope template not available at this time. Look for the Ellison envelope die-cut at your local scrapbooking or crafts store. Materials: Ellison envelope die-cut
Decorative stickers
Memory pen
1 sheet 11" x 11" patterned background paper
2 sheets 12" x 12" solid paper
Acid-free adhesive or double-sided tape
Small adhesive foam dots
- Mat patterned paper on a sheet of solid paper to create background. Mat photo on solid colored paper and adhere to upper half of page, in the center.
- Cut two paper strips from the solid paper, cutting ends to resemble ribbon. Attach on strip on each side of the matted photo.
- Next, remove stickers and attach foam dots to the back to create dimension (figure A). Top each one of the paper ribbons with a sticker.
- Die-cut the envelopes, fold on the creases, and use an acid-free adhesive or tape to seal the bottom flap. Adhere envelopes to the ribbon strips, two on each strip (figure B).
- Add additional embellishments as desired, then add small photos, journal cards or stickers to the envelopes.
Tip: The semi-transparent appearance of vellum -- through which a photo or writing can be seen -- is also a good choice for envelope accents. Die-cuts/templates provided by Ellison Craft & Design. For more information about Ellison, see Resources. Click here for DIY's Scrapbooking Glossary.
