Making the Cover ( Dimensions )

To make the cover you will need:

Making the Cover ( Sign and Score )

Sign the black card stock on both sides.
Unite the points.
Score along the lines.
Fold it.
Stick 3 magnets on the edge of the short side.
Attach the other 3 magnets on top of the first ones.
Fold the cover same as i did and let the second set of magnets to stick by themselves on the big rectangle.

Making the Cover ( Decorating It )

Using a glue snail, stick the red card stock on top of the black base.
Then stick the decorative paper on top of the red rectangles.
Do the same on both sides.
Now take the small black rectangle and with a border puncher, create a decorative strip.
With glue dots, stick the strip onto the outside part of the cover.
Add also a piece of ribbon on top of the decorative strip.

Making the Envelopes Using the Cricut Explore 2 - ( Optional )

Open the Cricut machine & software.
In your work space design a 9" X 6" rectangle.
Create 2 vertical scoring lines at 2"1/4 and 6"1/2.
Also create one horizontal scoring line at 5"3/4.
Insert an A4 red card in your machine and press start.
Let the machine do your work :)
Take your piece of card and fold it along the lines.

Making the Envelopes by Hand :)

Take a 9" x 6" piece of red card and score it at 2" 1/4 and 6" 1/2.
Turn the card and score it at 1/4 on the long side.
Fold along the lines.
With a scissor, cut the small rectangles as i did.
Using adhesive tape, stick it all together.
Mark the middle of your envelope and with a circle puncher, cut a small hole.
Repeat the process until you will have 6 envelopes.

Sticking the Envelopes on the Cover

Put a strip of adhesive tape on the middle of each envelope.
Stick the one on top of an other, like an accordion.
Add adhesive tape on the middle of the big rectangles of the cover same as I did.
Then stick the envelopes on the cover.
