наша Myry приготовила для вас что-то интересное))





Hello everyone!

Myry here and today I gonna show you how we make swaps on my country 

(and others like the latin countries).

Maybe you know about that but if you don't know this is called "Loaded Pocket (or bag) Envelope" and it's as its name implies, a envelope with some pockets loaded with goodies for our penpal.

So, for make this Loaded Envelope you need a cardstock of 300gr of 21'5x30'5cm.

Score at 1/2", 1" and 1 1/2" on both sides and score at 1/2" and 4" at the bottom.

(I'm so sorry, my scoreboard are on inches)

You can made it in different shapes and sizes but normally everyone used this size.

Cut this way and fold every score.

The sides should be like a zig-zag.

Glue the fold to the inside of the bottom...

and this on the top

  

Now we make a large pocket. Measure the distance: 14x20cm

And glue the cardstock inside.

 Make another pocket with a 9x16cm piece of cardstock...

(this time I made the score at 1cm)

and glue it below the first pocket

It only remains to decorate your Loaded Envelope.

Usually if you have left over cards, stickers from the collection you used (in my case 

I used "Falling Leaves" from PhotoPlay) then you put it in the envelope for your penpal.

I didn't have many so I used another embellishments of the same theme 

for complete my envelope.

Another goodies than normally everyone put in their Loaded Envelope are: a letter 

for your penpal (so important), washi tape, ribbons and sequins, cards (especially 

for Project Life) and paper clips with an embellishment like windmill 

or a pencil with a rosette.

And this is one way than we have to make our swaps.

There are more but I think this is the one people like the most.

I hope you liked it and aroused your curiosity if you didn't know this way of doing swaps 

and meet people with your same hobbies.

I would like to know how you do swaps in your country. 

It's something very interesting to know!

Have a good summer end!
