Pop Art Postcards

 How many Amazon boxes do you get per week?  I probably get 3 - 4.  That is a lot of cardboard and truthfully, I feel pretty guilty about it.  To assuage my guilt I try to make as many projects as I can out of cardboard.  Check out my cardboard tile projects!  These postcards are an EASY way to send out some happy mail and use up tons of cardboard.  The kids can join in and learn how the old folks used to communicate before texts and emojis!  Make someone's day by sending them a funky, handmade postcard and don't forget to Make Your Mark!
You ROCK!  I swear, you do!
Americana Neon paints from DecoArt make me super happy!
E-6000 Spray Adhesive and E6000 PLUS are my go-to adhesives
Make your own rubber stamps with toy foam letters and E6000 Plus!
Watch how to make them here!
Can't wait to send these out!
Wish you were here!

Junk Mail Art Journal DIY

Not sure if you know this but the average adult gets 5 - 10 pieces of junk mail per day!  That is a lot of trees just tossed in the garbage.  Quite frankly, it makes me kind of sad.  This junk mail journal is my small way of honoring those poor trees who gave up their lives so I could apply for another credit card that I don't need or want.  Using junk mail is a fun way to teach kids about upcycling and repurposing.  The shapes of the pages give an interesting jump start to your journal pages, too!  Use what you have, my dear friends, and don't forget to Make Your Mark!
Add black and white graphic images!
 Decoupage an old book cover with some of your art

Huge fan of Americana Neon paints!
