Texts are so easy to send. Next time, why not send a handmade postcard? It’s so much cuter! 
I cased this from the annual catalog (page 204) using the Post Card Clear Mount Stamp Set. What I thought was going to be a quick and easy fix turned out to be 2 hours! Could not get the friend and No 1 to line up properly inside the frame. But I liked the way it came out and so worth it!
Here’s what I did:
- Base card is Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock
- Inked up the image using the Midnight Muse Classic Stampin’ Pad and stamped it onto Smokey Slate Card Stock. I stamped it onto a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of card stock and then cut it down to 1/8″ around the border.
- Added the Paper Lacy Doily.
- Stamped frame in Garden green from the Postage Collection Stamp Set onto Whisper White Card Stock. Added the friend from the Postage College in Coral Calypso and No. 1 in Midnight Muse.
- Stamped small images: Priceless was stamped with Coral Calypso; Balloon was stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe
- Punch out the frame using the Postage Stamp Punch and cut out the other small images using paper snips – I love these scissors; they are sharp and cut so quickly and easily around the tiny corners.
- Added the images to the paper doily (see picture for placement)
- Added the Whisper White Baker’s shown.
- Smokey Slate Post Card measures 5 1/8″ x 3 5/8″ so I cut the base card (Crisp Cantaloupe) to 5 3/8″ x 3 6/8″ so that it would look like in the card in the catalog.
