Hello, Crafty Friends! I have a couple of cards to share with you today from the latest Sweet November Stamps Clear Stamp Release. I am currently totally addicted to postage collage, postage stamp and postcard style cards. There were three amazing stamp sets during this last SNS release that were just perfect for my addiction: Postage Pals Landscape, Postage Pals Portrait and Year Round Post Marks. I am completely in love with these! The two image sets have the cutest illustrations and they mix and match with each other seamlessly. And the Year Round Post Marks ... well what can I say. There's no point in me putting this set away. I will be reaching for this one all year round!
I actually shared the first card with the girls on Instagram on release day. Somehow or other, my blogpost didn't post. So I repurposed it and am merging my write up with my new card with the boys. As you can see, the design for the two cards are almost identical. I love the entire Waffle Flower Postage Collage collection. For these cards, I used my absolute favorite Waffle Flower Postage Collage A7 Die. So let's get started.
Thank you for being a friend! I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage A7 Die to diecut the panel out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock. I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage A7 Blocks Stencil to mask off the edges of the stamp.
I stamped a combination of images from both the Postage Pals Landscape and the Postage Pals Portrait stamp sets onto each of the postage stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

I used several stamps from the Year Round Post Marks to stamp the stamp value and postmark. I adhered the panel to a slightly larger piece of pink cardstock before adhering it to a white cardbase (5" x 7").

I stamped the sentiment using a couple of the words from the Birthdays Are the Best Stamps set.
