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!

Watercolor Postcards DIY

I've written letters and postcards my entire life and will never stop no matter how much I communicate with computers.  It's a habit I'm happy to have.  Everyone loves getting something fun in the mail, right?  So much better than all of those grocery store fliers and AAA offers.  These watercolor postcards also double as little works of art that everyone you know will enjoy receiving.  I guarantee you'll see them on your mom's fridge next time you visit!  Remember to make art, send real mail and always Make Your Mark!

Too pretty to send?

Keeping in touch!

 I printed the back of the postcard first and then the images to paint
