Hello Friends,

Are you looking for quick, cute, and easy Valentines to make?  Try mini envelopes (3" x 3") and the Snailed It Bundle.  Used together they become both a Valentine and a treat holder all in one!  

How to Make Quick and Cute Valentine Treats

Use the "You've Got Mail" snail stamp from the Snailed It Stamp set to stamp directly onto the mini envelope.  Color the Snail to match your designer paper.  I used the coordinating Snail Mail Designer Paper.

Next, cut a stitched scalloped Square using the Snail Mail designer Paper and the scalloped square die from the Snail Dies.  Wrap around the right side of the envelope as shown.

Stamp Happy Mail Enclosed and punch with Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.  Lightly ink postage stamp using Blending Brush.  Attach to envelope flap as a closure.

Tuck a few of your favorite treats into the envelope.

Bonus-Make a "Love You Lots" Heart Valentine using the Heartfelt stamp set and the Heart Punch Pack.  Tuck inside the mini envelope along with your treats.

Hello Friends,

Yesterday's Hot Dog card was all about the stamping.  Let's swing things the other way.  Today's card is all about the tools (lots of fun happy tools) with just a smidgen of stamping.  Tools like the Snail dies which go way beyond snail dies.  Did you notice the adorable teeny tiny envelope?  Yep, that's a die from the Snail dies.  And that's just for starters!  There are also mushrooms, bitty hearts, mail, a word bubble, a framed square, and yes....snails!

Creating the "Happy Mail Enclosed " stamps was a 3 step process

Step one, using Bermuda Bay Ink and the Snailed It stamp set I stamped "Happy Mail Enclosed".

Step two, I lightly brushed over my stamping with Bermuda Bay Ink and the fabulous new Blending Brushes.  Yes, I admit that I am slightly obsessed with the Blending Brushes.  I love the effect and they are so easy to use!

Step three, I punched out my postage stamps using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.

Believe it or not, other than the light brushing on the Postage Stamps there was no coloring on this card.  That's because the Snail Dies coordinated with images from the Snail Mail Designer Paper!  Love, love, love the fast and easy results!

What do you think?

Hello Friends,

I tend to express myself with my card making.  Today's handmade card is an excellent example of that.  I can easily imagine lobbing snowballs at 2020.  Be honest, wouldn't you like to do the same?  I thought yesterday's Freezin' Fun Valentine would be my last card showcasing the Freezin' Fun set, but I simply couldn't resist playing with this adorable set one last time with a Happy New Year Card. 

Pictured above the Freezin' Fun critters are pelting 2020 with snowballs, but that's only the first half of my Freezin' Fun Slimline Card.

The second half of my card welcomes 2021.  The dates on both ends of the card were cut with the Playful Alphabet dies.  The "Just a card to say hello" is a leftover piece from a card that I made a few days ago using the Many Messages stamp set and the Messages die set.  As depicted by my card, I am believing that 2021 will be a much better year.

Everything else is stamped and/or cut with the Freezin' Friends stamp set and the Freezin' Friends dies.  Both will only be available for another week or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
