Snow Mail Christmas Has Been Delivered Teardrop Trio KitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Printed on matte photo paper, 165gm. As soon as I saw this, I thought, "Ornament!" I rough-cut the base image and one copy of the large teardrop, used spray adhesive on the backs, and stuck them to the backing paper sheet.

When they were dry, I cut them out along with the other pieces in the kit. (I cut the second large teardrop along the inner gold line to make it slightly smaller than the other one.) I colored the cut edges with a Krylon 18K gold marker, then scored and folded the base card and adhered the insert with DST.

Instead of gluing the large teardrop to the card, I made it removable by creating a cradle for it from the small teardrops and the sentiment.

I glued the first set of small teardrops to the card with DST, then layered the second set with thick foam pads along the outer edges and the bottom so the ornament would fit down inside.

The sentiment is glued to the small teardrops along it's left and right edges. The second copy of the large teardrop is attached with thin foam pads, a hole punched in the top and a gold cord threaded through.

I added a large rhinestone snowflake to the back, some glitter embellishments and a red "jewel". I put the envelope together with strong, narrow DST, then used some gold glitter glue on my finger and loosely dabbed it here and there along the outside edges-also on the card front.

Oh, and I added a peel-off sentiment to the mailbox.

A gift and a card all in one!
