Heart Wide Open

Nancy from Crowabout StudioB has come out with three new image kits today. For my cut and paste postcards I´ve used her Textured Collage Papers and the Heart Wide Open kit (plus rubber stamps from PaperArtsy for "By the Stars and Moonlight" and from VivaLasVegaStamps for "Feel the Rain"), and for the cut and paste mail art envelope the background is from the Artist Papers kit.
These kits come with png images for digital use as well as jpgs on printable collage sheets for your cut and paste projects. As you can see in my samples, you don´t have to use them as they are - collage is all about constructing and deconstructing, overpainting, and making your own marks!

Some Mail Art

It´s been a while since I´ve had my last personal trade, so I´ve been happy about a request for a Postage People trade. There are 4 ATCs inside this envelope, two that I´ve already shown and the two below. Hope they´ll have a fast travel to Ohio!

Ballyhoo - Mail Art Pack

Nancy from Crowabout StudioB at Mischief Circus came out with a lovely new kit today called "Ballyhoo - Mail Art Pack".
I´ve three cut and paste collages with the included collage sheets for you, the journal page "A Dog´s World" above, the collaged envelope "Silly" below, and the mail art envelope at the bottom. Hope you´ll feel inspired to make some collages and mail art yourself!

Going Postal!

I´ve recently joined Nancy Baumiller´s creative team, and here are my first pieces for her Crowabout StudioB at Mischief Circus, all made with images from her new kit "Going Postal - Mail Art". I´ve had a lot of fun making Zetti styled cut and paste artwork with the collage sheets that come with her kit.
The first one above is a Moleskine journal page, the background is from Nancy´s kit "Flying Lessons".
The picture below shows a collage made on a mailing envelope with a background from her kit "Dress Up".

 And this third piece below is a Mail Art envelope, also made on a background from "Dress Up".

Envelopes

This week´s Wednesday Stampers´ theme is "Envelopes". Though I´m not someone who sends cards too late, I always want them to be in the mail as soon as possible - so I don´t embellish my envies very often. And some people told me that their embellished envies got lost in the mail more often than plain ones ... but I have received some very beautiful envelopes which I treasure in the same albums as the ATCs or cards sent to me.
