Happy Mail Monday || Shaker Post Cards

Hey, everyone!  Let me begin this post by saying that I apologize for the quality of the photos of my featured project.  I tried to edit them, but they still don't look good...and I've already mailed them off, so there's no going back...oh well!

Anyways...last week, on a whim, I randomly signed up for this project.  It sounded like so much fun to me and I've never done anything like it before, so I though why not?!

I thought fr a while about what to make and finally settled on one of my favorite things: confetti pockets...in this case, confetti post cards.  I had a lot of fun.  I used some fun sequin mixes from SpiegelMom Scraps combined with some clear cuts from Bella Blvd.  I did some really messy (but fun, at least to me) stitching around the pockets to seal everything in.

Here's the finished products (like i said, awful photography):

This one is my favorite:

I will definitely do this again...it was easy and fun!

Here are the sequin mixes that I used from the SpiegelMom Scraps shop:

-Fairytale Sequin Mix

-Sunny Rose Sequin Mix

Happy Mail Monday || Purple Package

Hey, everyone!  I have sent out another happy mail package.  This week I focused on the recipient's favorite color: purple.  I had SO MUCH fun putting this little package together - plus I really love paint chips, so any excuse to use them makes me happy.

I used a bunch of fun Curtsey Boutique goodies to put this package together - that pretty stuff never gets old!

I also decorated my mailing envelope a little bit.  But seriously, I need to work on the outer packaging a bit more!

Happy Mail Monday

Have you heard of the happy mail project?  It's not an active website anymore, but it's still chock-full of happy mail inspiration.  Recently, I've become a tad bit obsessed with  happy mail.  I signed up for Bonita Rose's Happy Mail Swap and sent my very first bit of happy mail last week.  Have a look:

I put all this stuff in a boring yellow shipping envelope...I'm going to have to work on my outer packaging a bit :)  It was so much fun to put together a little package to send someone...and it's another fun way for me to express my creativity...seriously, I'm addicted.

I'm looking for more happy mail "pen pals".  If you're interested, just email me at kraftykat9@gmail.com.

Have a happy Monday!
