Mail It Monday (July 5, 2021) + Hero Arts Summer Stamp-Along Replay Access

Hello friends! I'm super behind on mailing out July's cards. Look for posts all this week as I catch up on mailing out cards.

If you follow me on Instagram HERE you will know that I am doing a year-long series where I send out ten cards weekly to followers randomly selected from a Google Form my friend Lori Craig set up for me. I came up with this for a couple of reasons:

1. I have SO. MANY. CARDS. and not enough friends/family to send them to. You all are so kind and supportive of what I do here and on YouTube and I want to give back!
2. With how hard 2020 was it has reinforced in me that there's nothing like a handmade card in your mailbox to give a little sunshine to others. Not only does it brighten someone else's day, but it brightens MINE to share with you.

If you would like a chance to receive a card, please fill out the form HERE. I can not promise that I will be able to send a card to all of you. The response has exceeded my expectations. I already have over 1900 people signed up. But.... I do make a lot of cards every week so I am going to do my best! 🥰

NOTE One of the questions I receive the most is if I mail cards internationally. Yes I do! It may take a bit to get to you.

NOTE I have a favor to ask. When you're filling out the google doc form please make sure you add your state and/or zip code to your address. There have been several I skipped simply because it's time consuming to look up info and pray it's correct. I don't want you to miss your chance because of missing information. Thank you!

Every week I will do a little weekly recap with the list of cards I'm mailing out. Here are the cards I mailed this week. Please check to see if you are expecting a card. 

1. Elizabeth Peterson
2. Elizabeth Lorant
3. Elaine Harrison Lane
4. Elizabeth Bradley
5. Erica Ambrose
6. Schuree Myers
7. Raelene Pittman
8. Carol Wiljanen
9. Barbara Chmura
10. Sheryl Menke

If you missed last week's Hero Arts Summer Stamp Along you are in luck! Hero Arts has decided to offer Replay Access for $25. Visit Hero Arts HERE to purchase the replay and enjoy the 8 classes!

Very, very rarely do I use a plain, white envelope to mail out my cards and I get a lot of questions regarding the envelopes I use so I made a couple of thumbnail lists for you all. I have an A2 list and also a Slimline/Mini Slimline list below. These are the envelopes I use to mail all the things. ;)

Nichol Spohr

 

I'm Nichol Spohr and I've been paper crafting for about 19 years and have been involved in the paper crafting industry in some fashion since 2002. I started out as a scrapbooker who dabbled with stamping and over the years have evolved into a card maker who uses stamps on just about every single thing I create! I'm passionate about stamping and die cutting and getting the most out of my supplies. I enjoy sharing, inspiring, and teaching and regularly share video tutorials on my YouTube channel.

You can always see what I’m up to by visiting my blog: http://www.nicholspohr.com/

Lori Craig

Hi! I’m Lori! I’ve began papercrafting in 1998 by dabbling in scrapbooking because I enjoyed cropping with friends, but quickly transitioned to stamping & card-making. I call it “crafty therapy”, and my family calls it “necessary for household harmony”.

I have worked full-time in papercrafting since 2007 as the advertising manager for Splitcoaststampers.com, designer, blogger, in business development, and as a Copic Marker instructor in the US and Canada. 

As much as I love paper and ink, the many fabulous friends I’ve met on this incredible journey are (by far!!) my favorite thing about crafting, and I can’t wait to share this weekend with you in my native Kansas! 

You can find me on my blog:

Laurie Willison

My name is Laurie Willison. You can usually find me crafting away in my craft room while the kids are in school!  I am an RN and Travel Planner. I live in Kansas with my husband and our 2 kiddos.

I have been stamping since 2007, when a sweet friend of mine introduced me to the world of ink, stamps and paper and have been blogging and crafting ever since. I have had the pleasure and honor of working on several amazing design teams over the years and have had so much fun in the process.  My favorite part of this hobby has to be the people. I have made lots of amazing friends, lots of whom I have had the chance to meet in person! We are excited to have you join us for this crafty weekend!

• I've had several requests and questions regarding the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Whether I recommend the sets or buying them individually and to provide a list of my favorite marker colors. I chose to purchase mine individually so that I could pick and choose the colors I wanted however the sets are a great option, if you are wanting to try the markers out and don't want the hassle of choosing. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong. The markers are fantastic! Also, you do not need all the colors (unless you want to, of course!). Lots of the colors can be watered down which changes the color, combining a couple of colors of markers together, changes it to a third color. Below are links to the sets available if you want to go that route and also the individual marker colors that I own and love. I hope this makes it easier if you're trying to decide what to buy.
