Happy Mail

It’s time for another inspirational sketch to get your creativity going –

Optional Theme : Beach Days

I was able to get the sketch correct, but I really don’t have anything in my stash that’s beachy! I used some of the adorable Snail Mail products –

Just adorable, right???

I die cut three of the small envelopes from the soon-to-retire Snail Dies* –

They are also on sale as well! I assembled them and closed them with a Dimensional before adding a sweet little Resin Heart*, also retiring and on sale!

I stamped the sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, Snailed It*. I punched it out using the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch.

The strip of pattern paper is also from the suite, Snail Mail* –

Sadly, everything related to this card is retiring.

Glad I dusted it off and played with it just one more time! What do you think? So sweet, right?

Check out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. We use a variety of products, so come join us with what supplies you have! All of our challenges are two weeks long.

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

I thought this layout was perfect for this –

Right?? Yes, one more with the Sending Hearts January 2021 Paper Pumpkin!

Here, I punched one of the cards with the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch. I added die cut envelopes from the Snail Dies. Soo cute! The snails are pre-colored and already cut. They are from the Little Love Boxes –

The stamped sentiments are from the kit as well.

Snail Mail Hello

January 4, 2021 · 8 Comments

Hello first week of 2021! You ready?

I’m starting off the week creatin’ as always!

Today I ran across a challenge for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge that I thought I might give a try –

They are actually looking for new Design Team members……ohhhh, maybe I should give it a shot since I just love to create and share with you!?!?!?!?

It is a nice layout and perfect for this –

Soo cute!

I just love these snails and all the sweet pattern paper! And, just look as these resin heart on the mail –

I die cut the mushroom twice in Coastal Cabana and for the tiny inserts, Pool Party. Those were fun to insert!

I look forward to finding just the right person to mail this to! Will it be you??

These new products will be available on Tuesday, January 5th in my online store!

Winding down the year this week.

Since I love a great challenge……every week I scroll through this Facebook group. ‘I’ll pay one day…..’ Today, I decided it was time to play!

I mixed old with new –

so, So SO cute!!!!

I used the soon-to-retire Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper along with the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper to create this adorable card!

The snails are die and fussy cut for the focal point. They sit atop three punches from the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.

The sentiment was stamped from the coordinating stamp set in the bundle, Snailed It.

Here is where the inspiration came from for this sweet little number –

Very nice sketch I’d say!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest two week layout challenge –

I wasn’t sure whether to go with a Christmas theme or play with new stuff being this is a two week challenge because of Christmas.

New stuff spoke to me, lol!

I mean, how do these not –

These snails are just THE cutest! Wouldn’t you agree?

The only stampin here is the ‘hello’ sentiment! The snails and the center of the die cut postage stamp are Designer Series Paper!

I just fell for these cuties! How about you?
