Snail Mail Valentine


I've got another fun Valentine card for you today!  To make this, I took the shadow of the cute snail from the Cricut Paisley cartridge at 3.13" and welded it to a 1.38" x 2" rectangle.  I then duplicated this and flipped the copy to weld them together at the top, creating my card base.  I cut that, along with one more of the welded snail/rectangle to adhere to the top.


The size of rectangle welded to the snail was the perfect base for an envelope cut with the My Creative Time Embossed Envelope Die.  I stamped it with a sentiment from MCT's Lots of Love stamp set and added a cute little heart cut with MCT's Stitched Heart Layering Dies.


Before cutting the snail, I used my Gypsy to hide the facial features and instead stamped this cute face from Peachy Keen's Large Critter Faces.  I colored the mouth with a Copic marker and the eyes with a white gelly roll pen before covering the glasses with Glossy Accents.


Instead of using the layers that come with the snail, I cut a cute heart with the Stitched Heart Die that's included in MCT's 100% Sweetness stamp set and added a button made with Papertrey Ink's Buttoned Up #2 Die.  Some kraft hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique finished it off!  All of these cute patterned papers are from Echo Park's Love Story collection.  So fun!
