Special Delivery Just for You with Keeway



Hello, it's Keeway here! I hope all your Christmas cardmaking are done, or almost done, cause today I've decided to divert my project inspiration towards something more for the everyday snail mail. I mixed and matched quite a few stamp sets today, including Sweet Treat Sentiments, Schoolhouse, and Little Stinker.

I dug up an old set called Little Stinker and started building my card around this adorable skunk. I stamped and colored him with copic markers and die cut him out with the coordinating Nice and Neat dies. Since he's holding an envelope, I wanted to continue the theme of sending and receiving handmade cards, and thought it would be perfect to pair it up with the Schoolhouse stamp set, which has the images with the large pencil and the little mouse holding it up. I colored these with copic markers and die cut them out with coordinating Nice and Neat dies.

I went with a simple window like layout, having the skunk and mouse sit in separate squares, that I had die cut out of my black cardstock. On bristol paper for the underlying layer, I did some ink blending with Festive Berries distress ink, using washi tape for masking so that I get the upward directional blend for each square.



I found the Sweet Treats Sentiments to have the perfect "sending" theme sentiments with "Special Delivery" and "Just for You" that were stamped in the remaining square windows. And finally I assembled it all with foam tape.

Hope you enjoy today's bit of inspiration after your winter holiday crafting. Wish you a very happy holidays and a happy new year!
