Santa Mail Pop Up

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! Today I'm sharing a Christmas card made using Karen Burniston's new Postage Pop Up die set and older papers from my stash.

I was tickled at how well the papers work with the theme, as I've had them for a couple of years. I was just flipping through the remaining papers in the 6x6" package and saw these ones in there. Serendipity 😊

Here is a close up of the postage part of the pop up. The mechanism is completely generic and can be used to pop up all kinds of things, but since the postage theme is so hot right now - I used the included decorator dies and her coordinating stamps to complete the card.

Our Canada Post strike is 'over' - after over 4 weeks of no mail service - but I have decided not to send out our Canadian Christmas cards. With the backlog of mail they have in the system already, and grumpy workers forced back to work ... I'm not taking the chance. Plus, I don't want people to receive their holiday cards towards the end of January. Instead I will send out some Happy New Year cards and will send out extra Valentine's. The cards I made for this year will be sent out next year 

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Letters To Santa (6x6"), Cartabella

Postage Pop Up - Karen Burniston

Season of Cheer stamps - Karen Burniston

Special Delivery stamps - Karen Burniston
