Good morning on half-way-thru-the-weekend day!! Are you getting back in the swing of the work schedule – where Sunday means…getting ready to go back to work on Monday? It’s always hard getting past the modified work hours and days of the holidays, isn’t it? Yes – even for us retirees!
My card today feautres another totes-adorbs new bundle – called Sending Love. It’s very cute AND sports a wonderful die cut mailbox (WITH flag!) and a little envelope and…well, a lot of other fun little details. I combined it with some FREE new paper – the Most Adored Specialty DSP – to make a fun welcome card. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge.
And I also pulled some elements from the Inspo List at the Festive Friday challenge. Like…Gold, Red, Enamel Dots, Layers, and Envelopes!
I started by adhering a piece of pretty plaid paper from the Most Adored Specialty DSP to the front of a Flirty Flamingo card base using Liquid Glue.
Y’all – like all the papers in the Sale-A-Bration flyer (there are FIVE beautiful packs!) – this is the SAME extact quality paper as the packs in the catalogs.
But – you can get it for FREE with a $50+ purchase (before shipping & tax) thru the end of Sale-A-Bration! And – this week – you’re going to get Double Peppermints from me, too! Whoo-hoo!
Using a Blending Brush, I colored a smaller Basic White panel all over with Balmy Blue ink to make “sky”.
In the corner – I stamped the Sending Love sentiment in Garden Green, matted the panel on Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut out several pieces using the Sending Love die set:
– A Basic Black mailbox, which I then folded on the score lines that the die adds as it cuts! – and used Liquid Glue to adhere it into a 3-D mailbox.
– An envelope from a gold-foil-heart-strewn piece of Most Adored Specialty DSP – which I folded and secured with a little Liquid Glue.
– A Real Red flag.
– Four Real Red and four Flirty Flamingo hearts.
– A Real Red ribbon/bow.
– Some Garden Green grass (this is the “mounded” grass die cut).
– A Granny Apple Green grass from a narrow strip of cardstock.
– An Early Espresso post.
I embossed the folded mailbox in one of the folders from the Geometric Patterns Embossing Folder. That added the metallic “corrugations”.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the Garden Green grass near the bottom of the panel, then added the Granny Apple Green grass – aligning the edges with the edges of the Granny Apple Green mat.
Then I adhered the post – tucking it “into” the grass – with Liquid Glue.
I adhered a small Flirty Flamingo die cut heart to the flag with Liquid Glue and then adhered the flag to the mail box with more Liquid Glue. A single Brushed Metallic Adhesive-backed Dot looks like “hardware”!
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the mailbox to the card front. I adhered the die cut bow to the envelope with Liquid Glue then tucked it into the mailbox with a couple of Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to secure it. Then I added a double-stack of Black Stampin’ Dimensionals under the mailbox flap to hold it up.
I adhered more of the die cut hearts with Liquid Glue and some Adhesive-backed Hearts and Flowers at the base of the post and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the cancellation image from Sending Love in the corner of a Basic White panel in stamped-off-once Flirty Flamingo. Over the top, I stamped the smallest circle image in Garden Green ink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green mat and into the Flirty Flamingo card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the postmark and cancellation from Sending Love on the front…
…and more plaid Most Adored Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Plaid – cute envelopes – “real” mailboxes! This card is just brimming with cuteness and fun! All thanks to the Sending Love bundle – available now! – and the Most Adored Specialty DSP – available now and for FREE!! Gotta love FREE!

I thought Finn might like to check out his portrait.
Not sure what he’s thinking.
But – he did think it warranted a closer look!

Such a cute card! Can’t believe that I missed your live last night…guess I wasn’t paying attention to the time! Finn’s thinking that looks like another dog…but it sure doesn’t smell like one! 😉
No – he doesn’t smell at all. Which is not really a BAD thing… LOL! Thanks, Amy! 🙂
Or a sniff? 😂
Yep! 🙂
Mary…I really enjoyed your card video from last night. I love mailboxes too and that card is pretty darn cute. Thanks for sharing your talent and for your friendship. Hugs, Charlotte
Thank you so much, my friend! 🙂
Mary, I love that you used this set for our challenge. When I first visited the US back in the 80s I was amazed by the post boxes at the bottom of driveways and how some people used to decorate them. To me they came to symbolize the US almost as much as the US flag. So thank you for bringing back that memory. I love your wonderfully adorned envelope. Your card captures so many fabulous words from our INSPO list. Thank you for sharing it with us
Jaydee
I love when people decorate their boxes – it’s so fun! Thanks for the kind words, Jaydee!! 🙂
