Not A Bill

I don't know about you but I love getting happy mail! I have most of my packages delivered to my office because the post office is open less hours than I work but I also love getting cards delivered to my home address.

There is something about getting a card especially a handmade one that gives me the warm fuzzies and makes me smile. I like to send cards too - sometimes "just because and of course for the traditional Christmas and holidays. 

"Not A Bill" from the Gnome Mania new release will be perfect for me to send to my friends and family who need a pick me up or just so they know I am thinking about them.

                                                                  

After stamping this cutie on Copic marker friendly paper, I colored him cut him out using a cross stitch die and set him aside. Patterned paper from the Cream and Sugar and So Punny paper pads from Doodlebug were perfect for my card. I cut them to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base and to fit the layers for my design. I used a notebook edge die on the edge of one of the pieces and stamped the sentiment and put it on matching card stock and tucked it under the image. A bow and some enamel dots finish off my card.
