Join Kelly today for postage stamp inspiration.
“As a card maker and snail mail lover, I’m fascinated with all things postal and I enjoy coordinating my stamps with the card I’m sending! Our postage stamps can range from pop culture to historic heroes and are inspiring and show our interests! For today’s Design Team Tips, I decided to switch things around and use the postage stamp as the inspiration for my card designs! Head to my blog to find out all of the details!”

These cards are beautiful, Kelly. I love both the idea of making cards to match the stamps and your lovely examples.
I was JUST thinking of doing a Valentine with this same Mix & Mat: Postal Die! LOVE IT!!!! AND I also LOVE your use of the Pleasing Envelopes Stamp Set!!! A BEAUTIFUL JOB, Kelly!!! 😉
I adore Kelly’s card designs – always have! Inspiration is all around us, and postage stamps is such a great idea! I love each, with the first card being my favorite — I love the florals! Great job Kelly!
So beautiful and inspiring today! So glad that I have the Love die and can try something like these!!
Beautiful, inspiring, and yes, cute! I too love a postal-theme!
Not only are your cards based on postal stamps beautiful, but what inspiration for other holidays as well. Thank you!
