Hey, y'all! It's Jinny here today with a sweet pocket letter that, after 13 other projects, I made from some of my leftover Ginger Snap Collection goodies. If you're interested in viewing any of those other 13 projects, they can be found under "Ginger Snap" in my stories buttons through my Instagram link below; but for today, let's dive right into that 14th project. Shall we?
I started this project by cutting Indian Summer 3x4 Journaling Cards down to 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" and gluing the same size of white cardstock along a creased 1/4" strip down the latter's left side. That set the stage for every last one of the nine pockets. Now, let's get into the details of the first, beginning in the top, left corner. This first mini was embellished with a "you're the best" Loving Life Title Die Cut, topped with an "I LOVE YOU" Apple Pie Colored Word Sticker. A length of white string, tied in a bow, completes the look.
Moving across the top row, the second card was embellished with a "thankful for you" Colors of Fall Word Sticker, as well as an April 2019 Freebie butterfly, adhered just down the center of its body.
The last mini in the first row was dressed up with an Enjoy the Season Tag Die-Cut Stephanie LaHart quote and split, "you are amazing" Pumpkin Spice Word Title Die Cut, popped up with foam tape and embellished with another April 2019 Freebie butterfly.
Moving down to the second row, the first mini was dressed simply with a "Hello" Loving Life Title Word Die Cut and another April 2019 Freebie butterfly. I also tucked in a "smile" word die cut; but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where that single word came from. I pulled it out a few, PLS projects ago but didn't find a use for it until now.
The center pocket was topped with an Apple Cider Die-Cut Shipping Tag, laced with a white string, tied in a knot, as well as a Wildlife Punch-Out Tag, laced with white string, tied in a bow. Both of those tags were popped up with layers of foam tape and, in turn, embellished with a "give thanks" Colors of Fall Word Sticker and a couple of Piles of Leaves Die-Cut acorns.
The last mini in this center row was dressed up with a "together" Colors of Fall Word Sticker, as well as a Dried Flowers Die-Cut rose; length of white string, tied in a bow; and another April 2019 Freebie butterfly.
Moving down to the final row, the first mini received a simple Dried Flowers Die-Cut bloom, popped up with foam tape. Some of these cuties are perfectly detailed just as they are.
The next pocket was dressed up with a Cozy Weather Die-Cut Banner to match the one already printed on the Indian Summer 3x4 Journaling Card and topped with a split, "happy birthday" Pumpkin Spice Word Title Die Cut, popped up with foam tape; embellished with a length of white string, wrapped around the "h" and tied in a bow; and topped with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Apple Pie Colored Word Sticker.
The final card was embellished with a "YOU GOT THIS" Apple Pie Colored Word Sticker and yet another April 2019 Freebie butterfly, once again, adhered only at its center to give those wings lift. I also went back and added a little Clear Wink of Stella to all of the butterflies' wings, as well as the couple pieces of fruit in this third and last row.
That does it for me for this go around, Pretty Little Studio friends. I hope that you're still getting a lot of mileage out of your Ginger Snap treasures and that we'll all soon be playing with the much-anticipated, new, fall Heart Warming Collection. Until next time, happy creating!
