Prima's Parcel Post Kit!
.................................................................................................................
Our hybrid gals have been working really hard on some amazing projects with the Parcel Postal Kit (shown above.) Although this kit was designed with a Christmas touch, it is VERY adaptable! Let's take a peek at what the talented team has created!

Melinda Staley used a 6x6 page from the digital files of the Parcel Post Christmas Hybrid Album kit.
She added the quote to the page before printing. The chip-mates die-cut sticker (400019)
was also printed from the digital files and added to the die-cut chipboard piece (400002) before attaching it to the card. See how the Christmas design is now perfect for Valentine's Day?
Here's a close-up of the die-cut sticker! How fun is that? You can add any text before printing, or add embellishments after!
A
placecard/treat bag topper made by adding text to and printing a 6x6 page from
the digital files of the Parcel Post Christmas
Hybrid Album kit and folding it in half.
The chip-mates die-cut sticker was also
printed from the digital files and added to the
die-cut chipboard piece before attaching it to the card. An Prima epoxy sticker (400002) was
placed on top and the felt letter added to the
top of the epoxy. Treat Holder by the talented Melinda Staley

Di Hickman has written out step-by-steps that describe how to make this beautiful card perfectly!
I highlighted the label I wished to use from the Parcel Post design sheet and hid the rest (printing this way saves on ink!). Added the text for the greeting in a coordinating color. Printed this label out onto the Prima Chipmates Sticker Sheet (400019) and set it aside to dry.
I created the base of the 5x5"card in photoshop using the IOD Rue 88 digital paper. Using a quickpage from the parcel post kit, I altered the size to fit the card and added a subtle drop shadow. I 'cut' the label I used above in the postage sheet and dragged it onto the card for positioning. I chose not to hide this layer prior to printing as I wanted to see the scalloped edge. I printed the card design onto white cardstock.
After letting the design dry for a short time I added the lace from the Elysee Ribbon pack, and some Say it in crystal swirls.
Turning my attention back to the printed sticker sheet I stuck the sticker onto cardstock, overlayed the epoxy and used dimensional adhesive to attach to the card.
Adding some flowers and center kisses for finishing touches.

Sharon Laakkonen used two of the Parcel Post die-cut sticker designs for this calendar (and brand new Flirty Little Secret papers, Prima ribbons and flowers!)
The large rectangle is printed out on our die-cut sticker sheets with a shiny custom-fit epoxy placed on top after the printing was dry. The rectangle provides the framework for the calendar title. Sharon also added a Parcel Post heart design which she printed out on a Prima die-cut sticker and attached to die-cut chipboard. After personalizing it she placed the perfectly-sized epoxy on top!
Hybrid really does open up a whole new world for traditional scrappers!

Designer Julie Ann Shahin used the Parcel Post digi kit to create this luscious Valentine Charm Bracelet!
Julie gives us a few hints on how to re-create this piece of art:
In Photoshop Elements, I added valentine words and names to the digital stickers' designs (from Parcel Post). I extracted the angel and bird nest from the Quick Pages to make collages on my hearts. One could also use vintage photographs to make collages. I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a small hole through the assembled chipboard and epoxy heart, then added it to the bracelet with jump rings.

Flower Girl Jess Gordon used the Parcel Post kit to create this adorable card and gift bag with tag! Who wouldn't want to receive this from a friend?
Jess opened up the digital kit and re-sized the hearts a bit to make them fit on the card better, but you could simply print the files out for bigger hearts!
