I’m soooo excited to be participating in the latest Blocks of Fun release from Waffle Flower<\/a>!! If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I have a serious soft spot for all things Postage Collage, and this release has some incredible goodies to add to the collection, like my absolute favorite thing, the Mini Postage Collage Die-n-Stencil. It’s too cute for words. And the envelope dies from the Mini Seals set I’m showcasing here might be a close second! Keep reading for a project-specific supply list and how I used those supplies to create this inspiration card. You can always find my favorite everyday supplies here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get started!

My first step was to create the patterned paper for the background panel. On a piece of white cardstock measuring 4 1\/4 x 5 1\/2 inches, I stamped numerous sentiments and icons, mostly Postage Collage related, all across the panel. This was a lot of fun to create and can be easily recreated with just a couple of stamps. For this card, I used 5 different stamp sets, sometimes using just a single small heart from the set, to create a unique patterned paper background. To finish the background panel, I die cut it with the second- largest dotted rectangle die for a fun design detail and then backed the panel with a piece of midnight cardstock that shows through the dotted detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My next step was to create all the remaining elements for my card design. I started with the envelopes, leaving some open and others closed, and adding a tiny red heart to each one. I used a stencil, listed above, to address two of the envelopes and then attached them to my background panel using liquid adhesive or thin foam squares. Then I created the wax seal and the mini stamps. I die cut the elements for the seal from aqua cardstock, assembled it, and then added a little sparkle with a glitter brush pen. After die cutting the mini postage collage, I stenciled them, stamped them, and then snipped them apart before adding them to my card design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish up my card, I heat embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder and die cut it with the coordinating die before attaching it with thin foam squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
