Monthsary Letter in Creative Ways #2

My boyfriend and I usually give Monthsary Letter not every month but every 4 months. It is because we might have nothing to say on our letters since we usually text, call and see each other. Thus, we will only have three letters every year, so we make sure it will be special. Let me share our December Monthsary Letter. Hope you'll like it.

Here is the front view of our letter. Yes! We celebrate our 20th months of being together this December. Cut out letters from magazine pasted on a pink paper that serves as border. The flower above was recycled from old decorations on our home. The card itself was bought from National Bookstore's Scrapbook. Lift the string on the right side to see what's inside.

To put the string that serves as lock, you just have to insert it on a paper which will hold the string as what you've seen from above.

Awwww. Here's the inside. I'm seeing pics here. This looks interesting.

Surprise! Haha. The letter was made from our pictures that stand when you open the card.

At the middle is our biking pictures. See our name on the middle.

On the left side is my boyfriend's pick up line. Haha.

On the right side, of course is my pick up line.

The names were cut out letters from gift wrapper pasted on a hard paper such as card board or you can also use folder.

The letters then join together by pasting it on a piece of paper.

To make the pictures stand, just put support on the bottom, as what you can see from above. On the formation of our pictures, we have to put a piece of paper on the middle so it will fold when the card was closed.

To make the pick up lines board stand, a piece of paper pasted vertically was put at the back.

See how it was inserted on a small paper.

Observe the flat paper at the bottom of heart and pick up board. The pick up board and pictures need support at the back since its too heavy, while the hearts which is not as heavy as the pictures, need  only a flat paper on the bottom to make it stand.

Another view of the letter. Two hearts that stand were made. One from left and the other is on the right.

And that's it. Another unique idea of making letters for Monthsary. So far, I found this letter as one of the best letter I have. Its so unique and humorous. When I open it, I just laugh and fell in love. ♥

Monthsary Letter in Creative Ways #1

"It's the thought that counts, but it will be more heart touching if you put extra effort in your letters." -Quotes and Letters

Monthsary, from the word itself is celebrated every month. Since there are twelve months in a year, we came to a point that we could not even think new ideas on how to surprise our boyfriend/girlfriend. The little letters below are example on how or at least surprise your boyfriend/girlfriend instead of just doing traditional letters.

This letter was given to my office mate. Instead of making a traditional letter, why don't we put some art on it? Here's a simple example.

At the front view is my office mate's name. Letters were cut outs from magazines.

She used two colored papers on her letter. The two papers were tied using pink strings.

You can also decide what shape you want. You can try round or even heart shape.

Here is another example. The papers were cut in a round shape. The front view is the name of my office mate.

Different colored papers were combined and tied using yellow string.

Lifting the first colored paper,you will see the first part of the letter. It was blurred intently to give little privacy to my office mate.

The last part of the letter was put in a yellow colored paper.

This is the back view of the letter.

And that's it! A simple, easy to do and yet presentable letter done creatively.
