Postman Snail

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

I've been playing with some of the Spellbinders Club Kits for April and I love the 'Snail-Mail' vibe they have this month.  I love the immediacy of email and all the various messaging options we have, and wouldn't want to be without them, but I do really miss getting cards, postcards and written notes through the letterbox!

So here's the super-cute Postman Snail, star of the April Small Die of the Month and the fab 'Scattered Letters' Glimmer of the Month plate  to start off my project sharing for this month

I used blue foil on light blue card to create the background, then adhered it to a piece of 'airmail paper' created opn the pc and printed out to the size I needed.

The snail was made from inked card in bright colours. Once I'd put him together I made a folding hinge to use behind him and lift him away from the background - you can just about see it on the photo below.  The hinge folds flat for posting.

 The mailbox, the tulips, the little worm and the extra 'envelopes' are all in this die set too

To complete I used one of the two sentiments and die that come as part of the Glimmer set

 

I used:

 

April Small Die of the Month

 

 April Glimmer of the Month

 

Pale Blue card, white card for inking, scraps of coloured card

Homemade 'air-mail' stripes paper

   Just a Note
