Elvis-worthy snazz

I jazzed up this already cool envelope from the Hammerpress Notecard Book (currently out of stock at Chronicle Books) with a little bit of mail-artsyness.

The silver border was already on the brown paper envelope, but I added some bling with Stickles glitter glue and a fountain pen rubber stamp. I thought the Elvis and Okefenokee swamp stamps went nicely together, too.

Dunno why I really love brown paper envelopes, but I do... Oh, and incidentally, the little blog icon (whatsitcalled, a favicon?) for my blog is taken from the back of one of these brown paper envelopes.

Typewriter imagery

Olympia-licious! I'm not sure how he got this image on the envelope - laser printed, maybe? - but I loved pulling it out of my mailbox.



Here it is with my response - including some vintage stamps (Willa Cather, Johnny Appleseed, Elvis - is the Elvis stamp vintage yet?).

Purple Elvis olympics glitter

This is kind of a similar theme to yesterday's post - yes, I've been enjoying my frame stamps enhanced with stickles glitter glue - but I was particularly excited about this Elvis stamp. I've been watching them on eBay for a while, and finally picked up a whole sheet below face value. Woo hoo!

(Again, possibly more fun viewed large.)
