This month I am featuring the January Stamp of the Month – HAPPY MAIL – This set is so much fun. It has mix and match sentiment pieces as well as images that can be used on a card, envelope, or both.
For my first project, I created some Envelope seals. I used Grunge Elements 2 to circle my happy mail sentiment/image. I die cut it out of a circle and mounted it on a slightly larger color cardstock circle. I ran them through my Xyron machine to create stickers. Now they are ready for me to add to some cards.
My second card uses a stenciled background using Distress Oxides. I added some envelopes and the mail box images to create a little scene. I used the sentiment from Friendship Bear to round it off. I also made a coordinating envelope.
My last card uses the bear from Winter Bears and the sentiment from HAPPY MAIL. I created an envelope for it as well. I colored it with Polychromos pencils and went CAS with it.
I hope you had fun hoping along and were inspired by all you saw! NOW head over to see what Michelle has created for you!!
If if you get the opportunity to craft with some of these great stamps (or any other SNSS stamp) we would love to see what you create on our SNSS VIP Group Facebook Page; Or tag your creations with #snss or #sweetnsassystamps on Instagram.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
