I couldn’t resist these mini mailboxes when I saw them at Target! They just begged for these stamps to be used on them. I have seen so many varieties of them for many holidays, but Valentine’s Day has to be my favorite. I just added some heart paper, red trim, and ribbon using sticky tape. I find this adheres best when working with metal. I used Charlotte from Paperworks Co. on the front. Her heart is colored with a metallic Sakura pen in red then topped with a bit of Paper Glaze to give it some shine. I wanted it to stand out from Charlotte’s dress. Her headband and shoes are both black Sakura glaze pen. Jacob, also from Paperworks Co. is resting on top of a panel embossed by the Cuttlebug hearts folder. I topped the flag with a white heart brad and some sparkly Valentine paper. I love the flexiblity of this project…any Valentine designer paper scraps will work! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
