Good Day friends! I'm popping in with some Happy Mail for you today! How are you? I hope you survived the giant heat wave this past week. I can't believe the temperatures we were seeing on the news. Here in Sacramento it is often over 100 degrees, but this month we haven't had any days over 100 yet. I think we will today though. I hope my East coast friends are doing fine. Yuck!! I had a quiet weekend at home. I didn't feel good for a few days and just took a break and slept and relaxed with my husband. Lucky the kitty is the very sweetest nurse cat. OMG he would not leave my side for one moment. He knew I didn't feel good. And it was just adorable. I'm feeling better now and trying to get caught up. I colored the elements for this card as part of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge, and now I have the card to share!
The stamps and dies are from Pretty Pink Posh! SO CUTE! I used Copics as my coloring medium. The finished card is A2 size white card base. Lots of white space and a pop of red on that cute mailbox.
I used the super cute Happy Mail Stamp Set for the focal images. Then I added a flower and a bee! I wanted to create a happy scene! This is how I feel at the mailbox when I receive happy mail! I stamped directly onto a stitched circle and then colored with Copic Markers.
How cute is this sentiment!!?? I stamped and cut out a bunch of extra letters to arrange around the sentiment.
I die cut a second set of letters and popped them up with foam tape. I also stamped some little trails behind the birdie and the bee.
I layered one pop of red polka dot paper to ground all the white space. The circle and the word banner are popped up with foam tape also.
EEEEEK. I love those teeny tiny letters!!!
That's it for today! I'll be back on Friday with a card I made with the new release from The Greetery! I just need to photograph it now! Can't wait to share it with you! CLICK HERE to see the supply list for today. Or CLICK the graphic below (Affiliate Links Used). I will see you on Friday! XOXO
Absolutely adorable!! I would LOVE to receive a card like this in the mail, & I'm sure anybody would to be honest!!!

Hi Wanda, Glad you are better! I have this stamp set and your inspiration with the colors has encouraged me to use my set again!
The heat is brutal here and I am ready for fall! I found some Pumpkin Spice
Coffee Creamer and am celebrating early! HA

Oh my gosh Wanda this card is so sweet, I love the vivid colors you used so perfect for this set!
I’m glad you’re feeling better and your sweet new kitty kept you company. My youngest cat always stays close when I’m not feeling great so awesome when they do that.
I’ve been cataloging all of my stamps and dies into Evernote and many of them are PTI. I’ve also included some inspirational pics with most of them and I have to say your cards are always so amazing. Looking back through your time with PTI you’ve done so much great work.
Thanks so much for all you do!
