Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – December 2017
Hello, all! Kristina Werner here with another Monthly Mail Art! Today I created two envelopes with similar designs, an ivory metallic envelope and a black envelope.
For both envelopes, I cut a circle out of masking paper using one of the dies in the Nested Circles die set. I placed the circle masks on the center of each envelope. I also cut some snowflakes out of masking paper using the Felicity Snowflake, Joy Snowflake, and Bliss Snowflakes dies.
I applied the snowflake masks to the black envelope, and then ink blended some Golden Glitz Delicata ink over the top. Once the masking was removed, the pattern of the snowflakes was left behind.
For the ivory envelope, I ink blended three Distress Oxide ink colors from the edge of the circle mask: Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Black Soot. Before removing the circle mask, I stamped snowflakes from Tim Holtz’s Mini Swirly Snowflakes stamp set in the same Golden Glitz Delicata ink.
The name of the recipient on each envelope was addressed using a gold paint pen. As for mailing addresses, I used a white Gelly Roll pen on the black envelope, and a black Pilot Envelope Addressing pen on the ivory envelope.
NOTE: Mailing addresses used with permission. Thank you, Kristine and Kathy!
I hope you enjoy today’s envelopes! :)

Pink & Main: Java Merry Christmas
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Are you starting to get into the holiday spirit? I feel it’s hard not to with many lights strung, trees going up in windows, and special music on the radio! I’m so happy to welcome special guest Mindy Eggen of Pink and Main who has added to my holiday spirit with this sweet design! Be sure to read on and enjoy!
Hi everyone! It’s Mindy and I’m super excited to be sharing my card today using products from Pink & Main. They have such beautiful papers and stamps that are sure to make their way into your shopping cart!
For my card today, I’m using a variety of products from Pink & Main and Simon Says Stamp. I start out by using the Christmas Mugs stamp set from Pink & Main and stamping then onto Neenah white cardstock with Simon Says Stamp black ink which is a Copic friendly ink. Then I color them with my Copic markers to coordinate with the Frosty paper pack from Pink & Main. I use the coordinating die set to cut out my mugs.
I prepare my card base by using the Rounded Stitched Rectangle die from Pink & Main and Neenah white cardstock. Next, I use one size smaller of the Rounded Stitched Rectangle die and cut from a piece of snowflake pattern paper from the beautiful Frosty Paper pack from Pink & Main. I also cut out a smaller rectangle from white cardstock and popped that up with craft foam in the middle of my card.
I added my cut out mugs to the middle panel and popped up the center one with foam squares so they didn’t all blend into each other. This fun sentiment is also from the Christmas Mugs stamp set stamped in Simon Says Black ink. I couldn’t resist adding a few snowflakes using the Silver & White glitter cardstock from Simon Says Stamp with their Stitched Snowflakes die. To finish off the card, I used some of the Ice Cube Mix Jewels from Lucy’s Cards.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I adore these papers and Christmas mugs and are sure to be a favorite in your collection too!
