Directions:

Take the envelopes from the Gypsy stationery set and lay them out so that all the envelopes are lying with the flaps up. Take a glue stick and glue each flap to the next envelope so that you will be actually gluing the flap to the front bottom of the next envelope. When you have them all glued you and take and do valley folds where each envelope connects so that it folds into a little book. The front cover will be with a flap and you will glue this shut so that you can decorate it. Open the book up so that all the pockets of the envelope book are showing. Randomly add white acrylic paint to each envelope. Let dry. Then use the wrought scroll rubberstamp (C8473) and stamp it onto each envelope using blazing red StazOn (5TS-RED). Then take sheet music and randomly tear it into pieces and add a piece to each envelope. Then choose some faux postage from the Christmas post faux postage sticker sheet (5AR-P304) and add to each envelope. Then add some gold stickles (5RR-SGG01799) to each envelope, smearing around with a popsicle stick. Then cut out phrases from the collage sheet tell me another story (5AR-M249) to add to each envelope. After it all dries you will then need to cut a small slit on the last envelope on the inside bottom and also where the flap connects. You will then slide green savannah seam binding ribbon (5SG-15151 - DISCONTINUED) through the slits as this will wrap around the book and will tie it close. For the front cover add a piece of white cardstock. Then add some sheet music to the bottom and stamp the wrought scroll rubberstamp (C8473) once again with blazing red StazOn (5TS-RED). Add two postage stamps from the Christmas post faux postage sticker sheet (5AR-P304) at the bottom. Add some red glitter stickers for '2010' and then add a red and white ribbon sticker to the top. Finish by tying book closed.
