Notecard Happy Mail ~ All You Need is a SIP | Stamps, Ink & Paper
The above card was made using the NoteCards & Envelopes. I love using these because you don’t have to cut anything. Keep scrolling to see the complete list of products I used.
Don’t forget to stamp both the insides of your cards and the envelopes! And bam…there you go–quick and easy card to pop in the mail and brighten someones day.
Step It Up With a Little More Cardstock
For the 2nd version, I just cut my own basic white for the card base, a layer of Just Jade, and another layer of Basic White. Stamp the greeting stamps on some scraps, cut them out and pop up with dimensionals. Just adding the layers really steps up your cards.
Card Recipe:
- Basic White: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Just Jade: 4 5/8″ x 3/8″
- Basic White: 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
Same card recipe for this one, I just used Misty Moonlight for the layer and cut out pieces to fit my greeting.
I hope you liked my cards today–make sure to watch the video because I shared a ton of stamping tips, especially for those of you who are new to stamping!
