veryone needs a little help getting through the week now and then. It’s Wednesday – you can do it! To aid in that, here are some pictures of mail that I recently released to the world.
There were some birthdays to celebrate:
Along with an engagement that deserved some serious congratulations. LAUREN AND JOHN, WE’RE SO INSANELY EXCITED FOR YOU!!!
I must pay homage to Rin over at Papered Thoughts, where I initially saw the washi tape idea for the inside of a card. If you’re eager to see more mail art candy, I don’t think you can get any better than Rin’s gorgeous letters!
It only made sense that the engagement card was nestled inside something with a romantic theme. How perfect was this Anthropologie page that I was able to fold into an envelope? (To read more about my not-so-secret obsession with Anthropologie catalogs for crafting, head to this post where I dressed up some surprise packages for hardworking teachers.)
I also had some international, Japan-bound mail to send out:
There were also some belated Christmas thank you notes that we needed to get in the mail. I put my new-found calligraphy skills to work to see if I could dress up a solid-colored envelope with some fancy ink twirls and was happy with the result:
There was also a very belated Christmas gift that needed to be sent – I had found the PERFECT gift for Lauren (yes, the same Lauren that is also newly engaged woo hoo!) but apparently, it was perfect for a lot of people because it was backordered until mid-January. Once it finally arrived, I was able to package it up and send it off.
Are you dying to know what that package contained? You’re in luck…because it was such a perfect gift, that I had to get one for myself. It just happens to be the most magical stationary I’ve encountered in a long time. I will feature it later this week, so check back!
What a lovely batch of mail! I’m going to get down to some letter-writing and card-decorating (and birthday card making) this weekend, so this is great inspiration. :) Love the use of washi tape on the card!
(And super excited to see an envelope headed my way! Always such a delight to get those in my mail slot!)
Thanks, Celeste! Yeah, that washi tape turned out to be such an easy idea to give some “wow” factor. :) I love sending you mail!
Awesome mail art. x) so nice and inspiring
Yay, thank you! It feels great to have them in the mail. :)
