Carving stamps

The last days I started carving stamps again. A perfect occupation while watching less interesting soccer games. ;) Are you following the world cup too? :)

A simple design, but the first feather stamp I've carved. :)



Great for embellishing envelopes.



A corn rose stamp. I used it for a birthday card today.



And a camera stamp. The perfect size for small tags. :)



So what did you carve lately? :) I would love to hear about it!

The winners and recent mailbox happiness

Thank you so much for participating in my little give-away. :) Random.org decided the winners to be:



My mailbox made me very happy lately. :) So many beautiful snail mails!! :D But look for yourself!

The We ♥ Mail package from Zane with beautiful tags and papers.



A great snail mail from Liliana with wonderful regional facts.



Again a beautiful mail from Blanca with so many of her self-carved stamps and a beautiful bracelet!



Happy snail mailing everyone! ♥

Journal weeks and a reminder

The weather's awesome these days! :D We're enjoying it so much! :D

Spring snail mails and a little give-away

I love spring. :) So I created little snail mails to send out some spring happiness. To some blogger friends and bloggers I admire!

I prepared 10 spring snail mails. :)



Tags.





Stickers.



Notebooks.



Crochet flower paper clips.

Wish you all a wonderful weekend! :)

Purple snail mail and doily stamps

Finally I had the time to create a little snail mail for Blanca. I chose the color theme purple, as I know Blanca likes this color. :)



I carved two doily stamps with a simple design. But still a nice way to embellish a gift or a mail. :)




Different papers in the color scheme, flowery sticky notes, a bracelet, washi tape samples and stickers.



Everything wrapped up and ready to be sent out!




I like creating mails with a certain color scheme. In this way the entire mail looks as a whole. ♥

Thank you, Mum!

Journal weeks and a bracelet

Before I'm heading out to a long weekend a little post to wish you all a relaxing and joyful weekend! :)

April week IV



May week I



Working on a purple-colored snail mail, soon to be sent out. A little bracelet I made for it.



Hopefully the weather will be good the next days! Don't forget saying thanks on Sunday, by the way! ♥

Hugs from behind

I loved to draw mangas when I was younger. Today I drew a little like back then. Thinking of these heart-warming little words.



Three letters and one package got sent out in the end of April. Hopefully all of them will bring a little smile to the receivers. ♥



Wish you all a lovely start into May! The Germans will appreciate the public holiday tomorrow. :)

April We ♥ Mail - Easter swap

Due to unfortunate changes in our project, I had to send out the April snail mail later as planned and to another person than originally decided. So my April mail with the theme "easter" - not a surprise - was sent to Sharon living in UK. :)

I decided to weave an easter basket to hold all the little things I've prepared with brown craft paper. I made the basket flat and the handle movable, so it would fit into a parcel. :)



Again I carved a theme-related stamp: An easter egg I've already shown you on my journal page. I used it for cards and tags.



To fold some origami bunnies, I picked this lovely video tutorial to make super cute bunny bags. Perfect to hold tasty treats! :)



I always like to add stickers embellished with self-carved stamps, as well as some journaling cards and bunny stickers. :)



A little easter cookie recipe for Sharon to bake her own tasty treats and some crocheted egg ornaments.



Even it's a little belated, I still hope you'll enjoy the mail, Sharon! :)

---

I also received my April mail from Kim from the Netherlands.
She's sent me such a cute package! I loved the decoration of the parcel so much! :D

A cute letter, a Dutch recipe...



...tasty sweets, ribbons in the typical Dutch colors, ink for dyeing eggs...



...and beautiful stationary: A card, pretty journaling cards, lovely tags and cute selfmade stickers for snail mailing!



Thank you, Kim! ♥ I enjoyed opening and exploring your cute snail mail so much! :)

Journaling weeks
