I altered a plain, novelty mailbox with postage stamps and decorative papers from Bo Bunny’s Anthem Collection. 7 Gypsies clear stamps and Air Mail Washi tape gave the box some authentic vintage flair. Fun Twine from Maya Road added a great finishing touch.

Andrea had this to say:

When I lived in London (insert reminiscent sigh of happiness), the only downer was that I wasn’t there with family. That meant that mail brought on a whole new level of importance. The mail carrier became a beloved link to my loved ones back home and even though he was portly and had a mustache, he still seemed like an angel to me! So I decided to make my own Air Mail Angel as a tribute to those who bring us postal bliss. I brought her to life with an Avignon stamp set, a Tim Holtz light bulb to light her way, Colorbox Rain Forest ink, and of course my favorite Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.

Meihsia had this to say:

It is always so great for me to send postcards to family and friends while traveling even with today’s technology. This week, I was inspired to create a postcard on a burlap canvas which was originally aTim Holtz District Market Burlap Panel with Christmas theme on it. I covered it with Faber-Castell Gesso and sprayed it with Heidi Swapp Color Shine in different colors. I also stamped the background using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Bitty Grunge and Clearsnap Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink Pads. After adding some embellishments, it is a beautiful wall/desktop decoration now.

Thanks for reading!
