Snail Mail Slimline Card and Envelope - Whimsy Stamps

Hello Everyone!

I hope this Easter week is being kind to you.

I so love Easter, it is my favourite time of the year.

Today sees a new release by wonderful Whimsy Stamps and there really are some gorgeous products!

I have chosen to play with a stamp set

Snail Mail Clear Stamps by Krista Heij-Barber

and a super new product,

Slimline Envelope Builder Die Set

I created two inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Mowed Lawn, Dried Marigold and Tumbled Glass over Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then I splattered the card with water.

When everything was dry I die cut one piece of card with the

Slimline Postage Die

and then splattered white paint over it. (I do this after die cutting as white paint leaves a slightly raised texture which I rather like and it gets crushed if you add it before die cutting!

I cut the second piece of card slightly larger than the postage die cut piece and layered them together.

I stamped the images from the Snail Mail Clear Stamp Set in black ink, coloured them with Copics and cut them out. (I'll pop a list of the colours I used at the end of this post for you)

I fixed the images to my card design as shown.

Finally I added a sentiment from the Snail Mail set which I die cut with a die from the

Bookmark and Tags Die Set

I used the Slimline Envelope Builder Die to make an envelope in Kraft Card. The envelope lining is a sneak peak of a paper being released soon!
