ATSM #484 - Any Occasion

Addicted to Stamps & More! is back with our first challenge of 2025:  Any Occasion.  You'll also find that we've updated our blog look with clearer instructions and fresh badges.

I needed to make some thank you cards for holiday gifts received and decided to use a theme plus new crafty goodies--win, win!

The first card is for a friend who loves pink and cute and Lawn Fawn, not necessarily in that order but probably.

This second card uses the cut out hearts from the first card as part of the shaker guts. I normally toss those away before the cats get to them but made these cards in one session and managed to keep them safe.  

Btw, this is a minimal shaker in that I didn't pop up the full front but instead just a thick foam dot in the middle so it's shakeable but still mailable at regular postage rates.

For the final card I used my friend's favorite color and tags since she seems to love making those. What a weirdo!  ;-p

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
