Today’s card offers a fun sneak peak at what’s certain to be one of my favorite Designer Series Papers from Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming January – June 20201 Mini Catalog. Snail Mail is a collection of adorable mail-themed (and snail-themed) images in gorgeous colors. I can’t imagine a papercrafter who won’t fall in love with this paper and coordinating suite of products. I can’t wait for you to see all of it, but I have a sneak peak at some of it today. Here’s my card:
My card was inspired by the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge that goes live today. Here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card:
How perfectly does the top, left corner of Chrissy’s sketch match up with this paper? Love it!
My card features some products from the Snail Mail Suite in Stampin’ Up!’s soon-to-be-released January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. You SHOULD be excited about this adorable suite because it’s incredible! Today I’m going to share with you some of those products.
For starters, here’s a look at the dripping-with-adorableness Snail Mail Designer Series Paper:
Adorable, right?! The colors in this pack of papers are EVERYTHING – Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely love this combination of colors. Here are the three colors in my card that stand out to me the most:
If you like this unexpected combination of Blushing Bride, Real Red and Daffodil Delight as much as I do, I hope you’ll save the graphic for future reference.
Almost all of my card is pulled from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper – the Daffodil Delight corner of mail, the stitched stripe down the middle and the Real Red panel with Blushing Bride hearts. Even the snail is cropped from the Designer Series Paper with the Snail Dies that are part of this suite. The only thing I stamped on this card is the sentiment, which is pulled from the Snailed It stamp set. Here’s a sneak peek:
How adorable is this?! I love that the dies coordinate with the stamp set and the coordinating Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was cropped with the stitched banner from the Tasteful Labels Dies. This is one of the most versatile sets of dies – love these. Here’s a look:
Stamp Sets: Snailed It Papers: Snail Mail Designer Series Paper, Real Red, Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight, Thick Whisper White Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Accessories: Snail Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I’ve mailed out catalogs for the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration to my preferred customers. If you would like to be my customer or want to make sure you are on my list, please email me here.
I hope you’ll pop over to the CAS(E) This Sketch site to see the cards by the design team members and to play along with this week’s challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Dear Brian,
How adorable is this card! The snails ? ? are so cute.
And who doesn’t love to give or receive “happy mail”.
I loved being reminded of the movie “You’ve Got Mail” by the other mail sentiment. And, of course, the DSP has such fun colors. Thank you for the Sneak Peek, Brian.
I was so happy to share this one, Suzie! I think the snails are adorable, too, but it’s the colors in this paper that really send me over the edge in love. ♥
Wow, this suite was perfect for that sketch..love the sideways crawling! Very cool card!
I was all ready to make a black-and-white card before I realized how closely the design in the sketch matched this paper. Such fun! Thanks, Windy!
I think this is THE suite and bundle for bringing a smile. Love how you used the diagonal on the sketch as a little snail “highway!”
ADORABLE! I am IN LOVE with the dies.
Aren’t they the best?! Thanks, Kadie! ♥
So sweet. Love your interpretation of the sketch. As Mary said, perfect snail highway!
🙂 Thanks, Linda! I just love this little snail. 🙂
Who knew snails could be so adorable! This is deghtful!
This paper and this set are EVERYTHING. I can’t get enough of these snails, Linda. ♥
Bright, lively and fun. That’s todays card. Kind of nice to see while we are looking out the windows at a Nor’easter. Lots of snow, just in time for Christmas.
I love the colors in this suite, but you’re right – they are a particularly wonderful reprise from Winter colors. Thanks!
Oh my word!! This is TOO CUTE!! I LOVE that paper!! Might have to be on my wish list!!!
It NEEDS to be on your wish list, Nora. 🙂 Thanks so much!
Brian, Happy Snail Mail is a true delight for everyone right now!
Your spin on this sketch is soooo fun!
Thanks so much, Katrina! I couldn’t NOT use this paper for the sketch. 🙂 Glad you like it.
