Easter Happy Mail

Mar

I decided to do something a little different for easter this year – I’m sending some Easter Happy Mail to a few special friends! I mean, really, what could be happier than receiving these cute little bunnies in your mailbox? Well, maybe opening up the card to find a gift card for a special local treat! That’s what I call happy mail! I had fun using the lullaby collection (both boy and girl) to create these cards. Since each collection had a cute bunny sticker, I thought they were perfect for Easter – and didn’t really scream “BABY” as the collection suggests. I love finding a way to stretch a themed collection, don’t you? Here’s a look at the finished project – keep reading for step-by-step instructions!

Start with a piece of white cardstock – cut it to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. Score both sides at 2 1/2″. Fold the flaps in.

Now cut a strip of patterned paper 2 1/4″ wide. Then cut this strip into two 5 1/4″ pieces.

Use adhesive to glue down the right and left edges of the bottom flap. Add the patterned paper strips to the bottom flap (which is now a pocket) and the top flap.

Place the bunny sticker on the top flap – only the ears should be “stuck” down. Use baby powder to remove the stickiness from the body and legs of the bunny sticker. (I like to sprinkle a little bit on my work surface, then use my finger to rub the powder on the sticky part of the sticker). Next, add a floral sticker to the inside of the top flap.

Now use one of the hearts from the patterned die-cut pieces in the top left corner of the top flap. Add foam adhesive to a heart sticker and add it next to the first heart.

Now it’s time to tuck a note and gift card inside the pocket!

Wrap coordinating twine around the outside of the card and tie a bow! That’s all there is to it! Slide it into an envelope and pop it in the mail – you’re going to make somebody’s day!!

1 Year Mini Album

Hello, Renee here today to share a 1 Year mini album using the Lullaby collection. Oh, how I love this sweet baby collection and creating this mini album gave me the opportunity to combine both the boy and girl lines. Payton turned double digits this past St. Patrick’s Day! I cannot believe it’s been 10 years since she joined and completed our family. I looked through some older studio portraits and found a bunch from her first birthday. I had to grab some of my favorites to make a mini album. I used a couple of 5″ x 7″ along with some 2 ½” x 3 ½” photos for this 6″ x 8″ album.
