What is Happy Mail? with Video & Tutorial

.

.

Do you love happy mail too?

If you are wondering, ‘what on earth is happy mail?’ It’s basically the opposite of boring bill and junk mail that arrives through your door. It’s traditional snail mail that’s fun to open and arrive. The kind that gets you excited when it lands on your doorstep.

.

It could be a fun letter that been decorated with doodles or stickers. It could be a card or it could be something even more fun with little flips and pockets with added treats.

I teamed up with  Emma from Project Sparkle this month. I sent her one of our September ‘Stay Cozy’ kits.

Emma is the queen of happy mail, so we thought we’d both create happy mail with this kit and then offer it as a giveaway at the end.

You can watch my video here.

And this is Emma’s video here. She’s created 2 videos, so here’s the second.

I took an old Starbucks paper bag to create my pocket book. I trimmed it right down and using a staple gun I created 5 little pockets.

I made a mini tag for each one.

.

.

Each pocket has been decorated individually. It’s such a good way to use up scraps, die cuts and stickers. I had so much fun making this.

.

I added some ribbon to both sides so that it can be tied up.

.

I’m so pleased with this and I’ve added little treats in the pockets too.

I can’t wait to send this to someone.

If you’d like a chance to win this, please watch my video.

I hope you enjoy the videos and I hope you feel excited to make your own happy mail.

Have fun.
