Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun "just because" card featuring images from the Passionate Penguins and Snail Mail sets. I simply adore these super cute penguins! And although the Snail Mail set is a small one, it really packs a punch ... fun images, wonderful sentiment and excellent price point! I love how these two sets play so well together.
I stamped the images from the Passionate Penguins stamps and Snail Mail stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies and Snail Mail Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7,
W0/1, Y38 YR04, R30
Mailbox:
R05/24/29/39, B14, E23/25
Mail: C0/1, R05/24
Grass: YG01/03
For the background, I
took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and diecut two windows
into it using the second and fourth largest circle dies from the Stitched Circle Small Dies. Using this panel as a
guide, I ink blended Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide
inks onto another piece of Neenah cardstock in the location of those windows.
You Make My Heart Smile! How sweet is this sentiment?! It totally melts my heart. It is certainly going to brighten the recipient's day! Even the mixture of the two fonts for this sentiment is just beautiful! I love it! I stamped this sentiment from the Snail Mail stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used a paper trimmer to cut it out.
I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). I finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.
I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and it inspires you to make and send out some happy snail mail. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
