Creating Happy Mail

Hi friends!  I hope you are coping well with the various restrictions throughout the world due to the coronavirus.  To give myself a distraction, I decided to make some cards to send to family and friends as a way to say thinking of you and perhaps even to brighten their day.  Here is what I have done so far.

I love this stamp set from Dina Wakley called "Good Idea."  How appropriate as I think happy mail/snail mail is always a "good idea."  Various Distress Inks were used to watercolor the images.

Some cards had the stamped image backed with papers from Lemoncraft.  Other images were simply popped up with foam tape.  Sequins were added for a touch of sparkle.  I tried to keep the cards as flat as possible for mailing. 

 My next group of cards were created with a stamp set from Penny Black and an embossing folder from Sunny Studios.  The sentiment used on all cards was heat embossed with Gold embossing powder from Recollections.

 

Can you believe that Easter, such as it was this year, was only a week ago.  One of the most difficult things to deal with is the social distancing.  Thank goodness for video chats!  We did get to see my son and his family from a distance for a few minutes on Easter Sunday.  We stood on the sidewalk and they stayed in the yard.  I cannot wait to be able to hold my grandson again and spend time as a family all together.  Here is a picture.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  Comments are always appreciated especially these days!  Stay safe.  Stay healthy.  Stay home.
