The mailbox is from the dollar area at Target. They come
in red, white and pink.
To start cut a 12 x 4 inch piece of designer paper. I
used sticky strip around both edges of the mailbox and the bottom to attach
the designer paper. To get around the flag, I held the paper at the bottom
seam of the mailbox. Wrap the paper up to where the flag is. Carefully press
down on metal piece that attaches the flag to the mailbox. There is a little
round metal circle there. You should see a slight impression there. Using a
1/2 inch circle punch cut out a hole there. Then cut a tiny slit in from
edge so you can get the paper around the flag.
Stamp the elephant and the tag out from the Happy Heart
Day stamp set with Stazon. (if you are using Copics, if you are using SU
Markers, Black Classic ink will be fine) Color your images and cut out
around the elephant. Punch out the tag with the tag punch. Use the large
punch to cut a second tag out of Pixie Pink. Punch a hole for the ribbon.
Using ribbon attach tag to flag.
Tie on ribbons on the flag. I punched out tags with white
and pixie pink to go over the flag. I then stamped the white images. Attach
with pop dots.
Trace around the front door panel. Cut out a piece out of
the designer paper. Attach the elephant image to the front. Tie a bow for on
top of the elephants head.
