Put A Stamp On It!

Hey crafty friends...Vicki here from He"artful" Validation of Vicki.

Did you know that there is a National U. S. Postage Stamp Day and it's celebrated on July 1st?  I did not!  And to celebrate, you can go to this site and create your own stamp...Postage Stamp.  How fun is that?  What a great activity this would be for teaching kids about the postal service too.

 It's always nice to receive a card or letter in your mailbox.  This was a great opportunity for me to use one of my very favorite die sets, Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Postage along with the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Heart.

 

 

  Here's a card I designed to say "hello" to a good friend that I haven't seen in a while. 

"Hello"

 

 The square base design works perfectly with these postage stamp dies.  I included a stamped sentiment die cut with a small heart.

Here's a close up of the layered postage dies. 

 

 The bright patterned paper made for a fun postage stamp design!

 

Thanks for stopping by...

I hope I've inspired you to use die cuts on your creative projects.
