Send a Card to A Friend Day!
Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Did you know that yesterday (February 7th) was “Send a Card to a Friend” day? We’ve found that many crafters (us included!!) can be guilty of making lots of cards that just accumulate in our homes but are not actually sent out to friends and family. What a shame! On this special holiday, we encourage you to send a card you’ve created but haven’t sent or create a card for a friend and send it to him/her!
It is so important to share our handmade cards. We appreciate the value in sharing kindness with others! In this spirit, we’d like you to share a card that you are sending to a friend this week in our link up below for a chance to win a $100 gift card! Would you like another chance to win? Pop on over to our Facebook page chance for ANOTHER chance at winning a $100 gift card to our shop by sharing a card you are mailing to a friend this week!
Winners will be drawn next week at random! Good luck!
We can’t wait to see what you’re making and sending!
Altenew February 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway
Thank you for joining us as we celebrate the Altenew February release as part of their blog hop. If you’ve come from Virginia Lu’s blog, then you’re in the right place!
I’ve created a card using the Wings of Hope stamps and coordinating dies. These flowers are stamped using Simon Says Stamp Teeny Bikini and Twirling Tutu inks. I also stamped a variety of leaves on Neenah white and Desert Storm cardstocks using white and gold embossing powders.
I die cut all the pieces using the Altenew Mini Blossom die cutting machine and then arranged them together using a bit of foam tape on a white panel for my card.
I have filmed a video of the full process which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
Prizes:

Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – February 2018
Hello all! Kristina here! Today I have a fun rainbow birthday envelope for you featuring stamps from Pretty Pink Posh.
I first watercolored some rainbow stripes onto watercolor paper using watercolors from Sakura Koi. (I used a separate piece of watercolor paper that I adhered to a black envelope after the design was complete). After it was dry, I stamped and white heat embossed some of the images from Pretty Pink Posh’s Birthday Friends stamp set. Then I added shading to the images using a faint gray watercolor.
NOTE: The mailing address is used with permission. Thanks, Caroline!
Caroline’s name was written using a bold Gelly Roll pen, and her mailing address was written with an extra fine Pilot Envelope Addressing Pen.
I hope you enjoy the video of today’s envelope! Thanks for stopping by!
