Mail Art Monday! Or should I say Snail Mail Art Monday? Welcome to Make It Monday blog with me, Sarah. I’m going to show you how to create some mail art in order to step up those envelopes for your cards. Mail art adds an extra detail any recipient would appreciate. Also, it may inspire you to mail those cards. I don’t know about you, but I definitely have a stash of cards sitting at home. What’s great is the Eventually Yours set is perfect if you happen to be a little behind on sending those cards.

Supplies:
- Unity Stamp Co. August ’26 Kit of the Month First Days to Festive Nights
- Individual KOMpanion set is called Eventually Yours
- Unity Stamp Co. 3-in-1 Stencil
- White envelope
- Alcohol markers
- Yellow ink and blending brush
- Clear glitter marker
Tutorial:
Step 1: Stamp the Eventually Yours snail and a sentiment towards the bottom left corner of your envelope front. Color with alcohol markers.
- Crafty Tip: Place a piece of cardstock Inside the envelope so the alcohol markers won’t bleed to the back side.
Step 2: Use a gray marker to color over the sentiment to help it pop out against the background.
Step 3: Place the sun ray from the 3-in-1 stencil on top of the snail. Use yellow ink and a blending brush to ink blend the ray around the snail.
Step 4: For a finishing detail, use a clear glitter marker to add some sparkle on the present ribbon, snail shell, and party blower.
This is such a quick way to use your stamps and add some pizzazz to your envelopes. Let me know if you regularly decorate your envelopes for mail art.
