DIY of the Day: Sail Mail

Today, I joined The Postal Society's July Challenge where the theme is nautical mail art.

Seeing as how I like keeping it simple, I stuck with a blue and white color scheme (with some splashes of color here and there).

Now, I present to you my entry entitled...

Let's start with the envelope. I drew on some curvy doodles and I included stickers to put the name and address of the sender and sendee to stick on the envelope.

As for the paper to write the letter on, they're just simple blank paper with a "Sail Mail" heading and a compass divider on the bottom.

Now, for the other special contents.

First up, we have an origami steamboat and instructions on how to make one. I've always been a lover of origami and I wanna put a little piece of what I love into my mail. Tee hee.

Second, three hand-drawn, hand-cut stickers made by yours truly.

Third, these pretty blue seashell tags.

And lastly, this postcard I designed myself. See the little wordplay I did there? Sail Mail. Get it? He he he.

And the font I used is super cute too! You can get it here.

I always love a good challenge and I really enjoyed making my DIY nautical mail art. It's creative challenges like these that keep my creative juices flowing.

Now the only question is, who do I send this nautical mail to?
