Default Sending Smiles

So Vicky P had a video showcasing the SSS stamp set Sending Smiles (as part of one of the monthly kits). The card included two of the cutest dang tiny envelopes, one open, one with the address showing. I make cards for a local nursing home and it was perfect for this. 

Well, the envelopes are a tad bigger than what I want, so I'm making my own*, and have also had a blast making up funny addresses for the envelopes (cow themed, old favorite programs, Disney princesses, etc). I'd thought with it being so tiny I could just make wiggle lines but it turns out much better and it's easier to tiny write ... and it's so fun making up these silly to and from addresses. (Olive Oil to Popeye, Bessie Moo to Daisy Brown, etc)


Anyway, if anyone is doing a similar type project, I'm having so much fun, you might too.


* I thought it would take a lot of time, but it really doesn't.

I love your idea of addressing the envelopes! I have a small envelope die, but I've always used it showing the back of the envelope with a little note peeking out, or hearts coming out of it.  This gives me fresh ideas for Tim's Bird Crazy set, as well as the cats and dogs. It's going to be a lot of fun coming up with ideas! Thanks for the inspiration!

I can't, but if you go to YouTube and plug in 'September card kit Vicky' in the search bar it should take you to what inspired this.  Vicky Papaioanna's SSS card kit video from 2 months ago.

Oh my goodness, I have the Crazy Birds too and you're giving me a great new path to play with.  Many thanks.
