Video: Postage Stamp Inspired Card
Hello and welcome to the Hero Arts blog! It's Janette Kausen here with you today and I am sharing a fun postage stamp inspired project with a video tutorial! The postage stamp I drew my inspiration from is included in the Stamped Just For You clear stamp set featured in this project. I also jazzed up an envelope to coordinate.
View the video below for the details on how I created today's projects.
If you have any trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE in HD on YouTube.
Create project by layering a Dove White card base with a larger Dove White Infinity Postage Stamp die cut popped up with dimensional adhesive. Adhere a rectangle, just slight smaller, flat.
Die cut LOVE minus the O with the Luggage Tag Alphabet into a smaller Postage Stamp die cut. Then ink blend a panel to place behind with Dandelion, Deep Ocean and Orchid inks. Stamp sentiment in Intens-ified Black ink and then pop panel onto blended background with dimensional adhesive.
Die cut a small Infinity Heart from Azalea cardstock and adhere in place with dimensional adhesive. Color heart with a clear sparkle marker and then coat liberally with a Crystal Clear Lacquer pen for a glossy finish. Allow to dry overnight.
Ink blend a matching envelope with Crimson ink, as well as the three prior inks, Dandelion, Deep Ocean and Orchid. Create an address line by using Post-It Tape as a mask. Stamp a few fun elements onto the envelope with the same Stamped Just For You set. The postage style stamp in the upper right corner is what inspired this project!

What a lovely quick and simple card. I love the matching colour band on the envie front and flap. I also like that your video instructions a short and concise. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a fun card and love the matching envelope. You’re right, you take the time to make a great card, why not do a little something on the envelope.

Just a really cute card and I love the way you colored the envelope! I’m with you, I do not have the kind of handwriting to do a fancy lettering job, so coloring has to do.
