MAIL CALL

 MAIL CALL




Artist and Card Creator, Kristine Werner, created a feature on her You Tube channel, MAIL CALL. Card makers from around the world could submit cards to her which she would share in a video. Each month cards had a theme. If you didn't want her to return the card you submitted, Kristine donated them to a worthy cause. 

You can see Kristina's Mail Call videos and other technique tutorials at this link:


In 2016, the ladies in the CA Nook submitted cards as a group. The theme was ANIMALS.

Halloween is my least favorite holiday and I rarely make this theme card. Nevertheless, I like how it turned out!




My card is the middle one. I used this die of the couple a few years earlier for a card submission. This one is featured at: 12:46. 




My ink blending card submitted is featured at: 13:20. It is pictured above on the right.

This is a shaker card that I created for the theme COLORING. I stamped and colored the books on the book case with colored pencils and Gambol. I then turned it into a shaker card with micro beads. (Next time, I will make it more secure! Apparently some beads went rogue!) Card is featured at 35:23 (the last card)!

This is a "Never-Ending" or "Infinity" card. The theme was blue for December 2023.


My card is featured at 3:30 - 4:24 minutes

Kristina's 2 beautiful and beloved kitties,  Daphne and Sophie had recently crossed the rainbow bridge. At the end of Mail Call, she shared some of the cards of condolences that she had received.


The card I sent was the rainbow one on the left with the paw prints on the right side. The inside of the card was decorate below:

It was a busy month in the Nook and so the August card was submitted when the September submission was sent.
