DIY Happy Mail Label

Handwriting is not my strong side but I love writing letters and cards. I know that email is invented to make sending news and communications much easier and faster. But snail mail is still more. I love when I check my mail box and find a handmade and handwritten card or letter for us. All of those letters and cards sent to us are blessings, joy and encouragement we need. God use them to bless us through our friends’ mail.

Keep writing letters, keep making cards and keep sending them to those you know and love dearly in your hearts. They are blessed when they receive your letter. Do not stop sending happy mail 🙂

Today I would like to share with you how to make this Happy Mail label that you can use to seal your envelope.

The steps are very simple. For this label, I used one of my favorite stamp set, Happy Mail stamp set (B1461).

First, on the 1″ X 3 1/2″ My Acrylix® Block (Y1002) arrange the stamp, Happy Mail and Special Delivery.
Second, stamp the phrases on the plain canvas tape multiple time with Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad (44751).
Done 🙂

The Happy Mail stamp set & Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad are on Retiring Items List this month. You can grab them and see the full list of Retiring Items at my CTMH store. All retiring items are available to order until 8/31/2015.

Father’s Day Gift Idea: Captured Memory Mini Scrapbook Album

Father’s Days is 10 days away. Before we left Ohio for our long trip to Indonesia, I managed to finish a special project for my husband’s gift. He is a very special man of God! We love him so much. I am forever thankful to God for giving Dave as my husband and Papa to our daughters. He is just amazing!

A while ago I shared a sneak peek of the My Crush Book for Him I made for our special Papa. This mini album is just perfect for gift and keepsake. All you need is pictures, embellishments, journaling cards, and stamps. Each page is designed for you to add picture or journaling. And there is lots of possibilites for you to embellish or decorate the pages, too.

And today I’d love to share the every page I embellished, added pictures and journals. Each page tells the sweet story about him since the first day of he became a father, the day our first daughter was born until Easter 2015.

Every day we wake up and live to make memories. Memories to remember. Scrapbooking is a way to keep those memories. And I hope this can give you some ideas for your special one on the Father’s Day! Thank you for visiting today! Have a fun Summer!
