Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a mailbox full of love Valentine cookies!
SENDING LOVE
Another inspiration that was easy to figure out which set to use! Sending Love was perfect, don’t you think? Mary is being TOO easy on me!
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Petal Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was added oon top.
- A 2-1/2 x 5 piece of Bee Mine Designer Paper was added towards the right side.
- A coordinating 3/4 x 3-3/4 strip of Bee Mine DSP was added across the front.
- The Deckle Rectangle was cut from Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped with the greeting from Heartfelt Hellos (SAB) in Real Red Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The full mailbox was stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock with Memento Black Ink and colored with Crumb Cake and Old Olive Blends. It was cut with the Dies and added to the rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Then just the top of the mailbox was stamped on Real Red cardstock with Memento Black Ink. It was also cut with the Dies, then the trimmed to fit over the Very Vanilla one. I cut a slit in along the mailbox line so one of the envelopes would slide in. It was added to the full mailbox with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two envelopes were stamped with Memento Black Ink and cut with the Dies, then added to the lid of the mailbox as mentioned above with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The flag was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a scrap piece of Gray Granite cardstock and hand-cut, then added to the mailbox.
- Some Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers were added to the mailbox, envelopes and grassy area.
