Christmas Postage: Snowmen


Happy New Year!  Today let's look at the snowmen postage collage cards I worked up. I didn't use a lot of colors this time (it occurrs to me that random rainbow would be fab) so mixed it up in different ways.


For the first I cut apart the postage and created two cards with additional embossing.  I particular love the SU Linen texture.
  • Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes, Something Borrowed, Midnight, and Orange Twist.

I created a shaker for this one.  I adhered acetate to the front panel and popped up the middle with a couple of foam dots.  The rest is flat but that middle foam area is enough to allow movement but be within post office regular postage rate.
  • Catherine Pooler Aquatini, Orange Twist, Midnight, and Cumberbund


The black and white border add to the modern feel of these next two, not to mention the bright colors.
  • Catherine Pooler Garden Party, Melon Ice, Midnight, Orange Twist & Icing on the Cake
  • Flirty fuschia, midnight, icing on the cake, pucker up, orange twist
