Today I am showing how to alter a slide mailer that is made of chipboard...they are pretty cheap on line if you get them from a medical supply place but you do have to buy 50! I am placing an order so if anyone wants a few just let me know.
Next I usually paint the slip part because it is really hard to modpodge in the groves...I used spray paint here but you can use craft paint as well.
Next I found some cute double sided chatterbox paper in my stash and modpodged both the inside and the outside. Do one flap at a time and be sure to sand your edges before you move on to the next side. Ink all edges in a coordinating color...I used peeled paint because it is the best green on the market!!
After your edges are all done its time to do my favorite...embellish!I am kind of wierd in that I have no idea what direction I am going until I get there...I just liked the paper and found some random letters and then this little card took on a life of its own! On the outside I added a flower and some chipboard letters.
On the inside I used rubons and rummaged through all my left over letters to spell BEST. I covered the word friends with diamond glaze and added some bling and voila...its finished!Secretly I wanted it to say we r bestest friends but I couldn't fit it...but that is just between us!
Lastly I finished my sign for the store I am selling this little treasure in...what do you think?
Later friendsOne L
