Ready For Happy Mail?

Hi friends! It’s Dana (IG: @dkirbystamps) here today, and I am excited to be back sharing a couple of cards that use the Happy Mail set from Concord & 9th. This set includes a coordinating stamp set, dies, and an embossing folder. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, but can be used throughout the year. Who wouldn’t love to receive some Happy Mail?

First, I created a clean and simple card that uses the Happy Mail stamp set. I love the clean and graphic design of this set! I started my card by stamping the postal images (one large stamp) with black ink. Next, I used the solid stamps to add color to the images. I used Pink Lemonade, Watermelon, Creamsicle, and Sprout ink from Concord & 9th. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment to finish my card.

I love how having one large stamp keeps everything lined up perfectly, and that you can add color with the solid stamps. So quick and easy to create!

Next, I created a shape card with the Happy Mail dies and embossing folder. I started my card by using the Happy Mail dies to create the curve at the top of my Watermelon card panel and base. I ran the panel through my die-cutting machine with the Happy Mail embossing folder. I then used white pigment ink and a sponge to highlight the embossed envelope and post sentiment. To add a little extra detail, I used a few of the smaller dies to add a pull tab and heart to my envelope. 

For the inside of my card, I used the Happy Mail dies to create the fun letter pop-up. I then used the coordinating stamps and dies to add lots of fun details. So many fun possibilities with these sets! 

Colors Used: Pink Lemonade, Watermelon, Creamsicle, and Sprout

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to give the fun new products a try!

Enjoy your day,

Dana
