Morning all!
I’m back with another postage take on the Winter Wonder collection from Simple Stories, this time featuring some bears in apt attire for the festive season:
Paper and stickers: Simple Stories – Winter Wonder
Stamps: Waffle Flower – Postage Collage North Pole, Waffle Flower – Royal Mail
Die: The Stamp Market – Postage Stamps Cover
Stencil: The Stamp Market – Postage Stamps Shadow
I wanted to give this collection the postal treatment again, but using a lighter hand for the stencilling on the Postage Stamps Cover die.
The colours turned out much better, and got their snowy splattering of white paint.
I selected a few stickers from the sticker book, and even tried to add some card pieces behind them to pop them up. But these paper stickers are rather thin, and I ended up having to unpeel them and stick them down onto 80 lb white cardstock so I could then go and fussy cut them to make the stickers more solid. Now you can’t see through them.
I’ll need to remember that for next time!
The postage look wouldn’t be complete without some Waffle Flower Postage Collage stamps adding in the extra accents.
I also used one of the phrase stickers on the cardstock sticker sheet (no issues with thin stickers there!) to add a little sentiment.
Finally, I covered my card base with Comfy, Cozy, Cuddly patterned paper in the Winter Wonder collection to bring everything together and my card was complete.
Until next time, happy crafting!
