I want to wish a Yappy Happy 1st Birthday to everyone at Heffy Doodle! Can you believe it’s been a year!? I’m always proud of companies celebrating the milestones – it’s really hard to stay in business nowadays, and if they can withstand the pressures, they deserve the kudos!

Yappy Happy Trifold Card
When asked if I’d participate, I saw this cute puppy stamp set – oh my! Dogs AND mail? Yeah bring it on! The dog in the middle panel “needed” to leap in the air, and I decided my card would be going “From” a US postal mailbox all the way across the pond – so it’ll be my sister’s birthday card when it comes round! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
The trifold card format was fun for something with a little change. I love the little pup trying to open the box at the end – lol. That’s my G – our box from Chewy just arrived and he probably would have opened it himself if I’d let him. LOL!
To make the card base, I used two strips of 4-1/4″ cardstock – each had two square panels, and they overlap in that middle panel. If you have 12×12 cardstock you could do this more easily, just make the panels 4″ instead, but since I can’t remember the last time I had any 12×12, I made do with what I have on my cardstock shelf.
Hex Charts!
In case you’ve missed it….there are now four hex charts available! Copic has been around a while but now there are 3 brands of colored pencil. (Note that there won’t be watercolor or watercolor pencil charts – we can’t run watercolor paper through our home printers or use waterproof ink.) All charts are HERE.
And on Friday, the Colored Pencil Jumpstart Class content will be available! You can sign up for class now or then and I’ll remind you here on the blog on Friday to pop over this weekend to start learning. (You can join in class ANYtime, there’s nothing live that you need to be there for.) Note that I’ve added some things to the PreClass (click on Curriculum) – like the discount for stamps, and info on hex charts. 🙂

Love this card! Sandy, you make it look so easy!
Such a cute card! I love how the envelopes go all the way across.
Loving the yappy mail idea lots x Happy Birthday to your sister when it comes around x Ou r British post boxes have, most the time, a white rectangle on the box that tells you the route number, the area where the box is and the times and days of collections, so you were right in thinking it was a sign x
Love your awesome tri-fold card. On my list of things to try.
Sandy, you are such a font of talent, but even more special to me is your gift for teaching. I love the things you make, and I love how inspired I am to go and create when I watch your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely card idea and your fixes for things you don’t like. We and HD are lucky to have you as part of this birthday celebration.
I love your card is so beautiful!
Totally adorable, Sandy! One of my favorite cards ever! Your sister will love it!
This is SO CUTE! What a great idea
Such a fun and cute card – love that little dog.
Fun card—love this stamp set.
Your card is adorable ! I’m sure your sister will love it. Dogs are the best to deliver happy wishes.
On the panel in front of the English mailbox, there is the timetable telling you when the postman is coming to pick-up the mail.
Loving the Yappy Mail set and you really brought it to life!
Question: If I take the Pencil class do I then get the Hex Chart for my brand of pencils or do I have to buy them?
I love the gorgeous card you made this is realy Happy Mail!
They’re sold separately since I don’t have a way to know what chart to send to whom.
Thanks for your answer Sandy, because I read in the discription for the classes that you have downloads for practice etc. I thought perhaps the chart are with those downloads.
What a fun card! Your sister will treasure it!
I love all your item and thank you for the opportunity!

Sandy, my love of animals (20 plus years in veterinary medicine) combined with ANY chance I get to “send mail” type cards to my granddaughter is a HUGE win-win in my book! So, thank you for your wonderful inspiration! ❤
Fantastic! I’ve never made a tri-fold card. I think I need to try it! 🙂
Sandy, I love all of your cards! You make it look so easy to copy them…’look’ being the operative word. I just ordered the happy mail stamp… Love your idea of a tri-fold.
