Something old... Something new...

Hello fabulous crafty friends!

It's Wednesday so that means it's time for a little challenge inspiration for the Stampotique Originals designers challenge.

Today is the 1st
week of the "Something old, Something new" challenge.

I thought about posting a picture of me for this challenge since today is my birthday... lol.
I'm older, and a new age.

Instead I chose to play with some older Stampotique stamps that are new to me.
I can see these getting a lot of love!♡

If you are a regular around here, then you already know I love mail art, so of course that's what I chose to create.

Stamps used:
Meow mix
Salutatorians 2
Scalloped lace boarder
Texture cube 1

Other products:
A2 envelope
Black memento ink
Tim Holtz layering stencil
Distress oxide ink - mustard seed
Dick blick alcohol markers

I hope you all like this little envelope.
Have a great day!

Late for Facebook...

Hello, It's me again...

Today, I am here to share another super fun and easy Mail Art Monday

card and envelope set!

You know I love snarky mail, and this one is just too perfect for so many people...

(Myself included)

Stamps Used:

I was in my kitchen

Hands on face

I started with and A2 envelope and card base.

I began by stamping my woman with her hands on her face on both the envelope, the card, and on scrap paper. (the scrap paper was to make the mask).

Next I stamped my sentiment on my card base then set this aside.

Returning to the envelope, I covered my woman with the mask. I also created a mask for the address box from some scrap paper.

With everything masked off, I began to add my background detail using a Tim Holtz shifter stencil with distress ink.

When the background was complete, I removed my masks and colored my card and envelope with various alcohol based markers.

I hope you all like this fun little set!!

Have a wonderful week!!

Whimsical Snail Mail

Hello Crafty Friends!
Happy Mail Art Monday!

Today I want to share a fun and whimsical envelope for mail art Monday.

Stamps Used:

whimsical snail

creepy creature sitting

doodle circle

Punchinella/Sequin Waste

I started with an A2 envelope, and began by stamping the whimsical snail in black memento ink. I then masked him off, and stamped the punchinella/sequin waste along the bottom in Mowed Lawn- Distress Oxide ink.

Next, I stamped my creepy creature sitting. I used a mask to create an address box. Last, I stamped doodle circle on the boarder.

I used various alcohol based markers to color my base images, then I masked everything off.

With everything masked off, I used salty ocean- distress ink to color the background. I used more salty ocean ink and mowed lawn distress oxide ink, through Tim Holtz layering stencils.

I hope you enjoy this fun little envelope!
