I have to share with you a few cute cards that I made with the Snail Mail Designer Paper. My plan was to also use my Snailed It Stamp Set and Snail Dies,
Product List
…but I couldn’t find them. I looked and looked. And then I remembered I sent them to my team member Elizabeth Hebert last month during preorder time so she could start creating her fun Showcase Stamper projects that you’ll see on my blog tomorrow. Too funny…AND I forgot to reorder them for myself when January 5th came. So these cards will show you that the Snail Mail Designer Paper CAN stand alone if you want.
I’m in love with the mushroom images. So I fussy-cut a bunch of them from one of the sheets in the paper pack. Then I cut strips from the sheet with the rows of smaller mushroom. And I came up with these card designs.
(The cards opened up all look the same.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 9-3/4” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
- Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4-1/4″ x 1/2″
- 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″
- Blushing Bride Cardstock
- Scrap for punching 2″ Circle
- Snail Mail Designer Paper (rows of mushrooms)
- 4-1/4″ x 3/4″
- Snail Mail Designer Paper (Bermuda Bay with stitched swirled)
- 4-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
- Oh So Ombré Designer Paper (Bermuda Bay)
- 4-1/4″ x 2″
- Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- 4-1/4″
Directions
- After cutting all the pieces and punching the circles, start assembling your card.
- Add the blue at the bottom exposed inside section first. Then add the black cardstock at the top and bottom of the front flap. (You should see a section of white about 1/8″ tall between the black and bottom blue.)
- Add the Oh So Ombré layer next under the top black.
- Add adhesive under the top edge of the mushroom strip. Then add the ribbon to this. Using a bit more adhesive behind the paper strip, add it to the card as shown so it exposes just a small amount (about 1/8″) of black.
- Add the larger mushroom/s to the pink circle. (Trim the bottom of the mushroom/s if you wish.) Add the pink circle to the white so it’s a little off-center. Then add this to the front of the card.
- Embellish with Resin Hearts and/or Rhinestones.
I had some leftover mushroom strips. So then I played around and made this one.
I used the Forever & Always Stamp Set for the sentiments.

Measurements
- Bermuda Bay Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 9-1/4” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4-1/4″ x 2″
- Snail Mail Designer Paper (rows of mushrooms)
- Four strips that are 4-1/4″ x 3/4″
- Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- Three pieces that are 4-1/4″
Directions
- Add adhesive under the top edges of the mushroom strips. Then add the ribbons to these. Using a bit more adhesive behind the paper strips, add them to the card front as shown so they expose just a small amount (about 1/8″) of blue. It’s easiest to add the top and bottom strips first.
- Add the black at the bottom exposed inside section. Close the card and stamp the word “together” with VersaMark ink. Add white embossing powder, shake off excess, then heat emboss.
- Attach fussy-cut mushrooms just above the embossed word tucking the ends under the black layer.
- Stamp the word “always.”
- Then add the Resin Hearts.

Thanks Susan! The paper was too cute and I just couldn’t wait out the time it would’ve taken for the bundle to get to me. Hahaha!
