Sending happy mail card


This is one of the cards I'm most proud of, it's my first shaker card! The frame, inner background and acetate have been die cut using the Simon says stamp (SSS) stitched rectangles, the "sending" die cut is also from SSS. The little monster and envelopes are stamped & die cut using the 2015 SSS monster hugs set & colored using copic markers, the set was also used to stamp the "happy mail" which I heat embossed w/ ranger super fine white embossing pwd. The inside sentiment die cut & stamped w/ the 2015 SSS sending & wishing set, shadow added w/ copics, highlighted w/ uniball signo white pen. The card size is standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 top folding, and unfortunately I can't tell you what paper was used as it was given to me as a gift without any packaging. There are also clear iridescent sequins that I got as a gift (I think they're availble @ SSS), I used a ranger foam tape roll doubled up to pop up the frame/acetate, and used a embossing powder tool on the inside of the tape so the shaker content would not stick to it (I believe baby pwd would work too).

First ever blog post.

So, I've decided to start a blog (more for personal use than anything) of my crafting and art projects, this is my very first blog post, and I am very unfamiliar with how this whole thing works, so until I get the swing of things please be patient with me. My hope is that anyone who reads my posts on this blog can find inspiration for their own crafting/art, and help me find inspiration too, so if you have any suggestions or ideas please leave a comment. If you are reading this be forewarned my grammar and spelling are less than ideal, I am always happy to receive constructive criticism, however, "flaming" or pointless unconstructive insulting will be ignored/deleted. Thank you for stopping by, I'll add some posts as soon as I can, thank you, God bless, and happy crafting!
