Sending smiles

I was looking through some photos of projects I never posted and found a fun card made with the Happy Mailbox Cubbies stamp and die set (Art Impressions):

I'm not exactly sure why I never posted this card -- I made it several years ago, so if I had a good reason, it's forgotten now. At any rate, better late than never.

Seeing this card reminds me that I need to use this stamp set again; I've only ever used it to make this card. It's a cool set, though, because the die that cuts out the mailboxes creates several doors and openings, so you can add whichever letters and packages you like. There is a fair amount of coloring, which isn't always my thing, but it's not too detailed.

Since there's a lot going on in this focal image, I kept the rest of the card simple. I used patterned papers for the background then wrapped linen thread around the card front several times and tied it in a bow. I finished by adding the sentiment "Sending smiles across the miles" on a banner near the bottom right corner.

Thanks for stopping by!
