No denying getting real mail is fun. A handwritten note, a package? Snail mail makes my day! I try my best to always send b-day, thank you, and feel better cards. I TRY to make them handmade. It works out about 50% of the time. Here are 3 of my latest creations:
The band aided turtle was for a friend going through a break up. I saw a version of this card at Target so I doodled the little turtle, cut him out, and used double sided sticky tape on card stock. You know, to make him look like he is popping off the card. I used my PSA stamps to make the background more festive.
I used double sided sticky tape to make the turtle pop off of the page.
The inside of the card read, ” It’s not the speed that matters… It’s the getting there.”
Remember the group gift I put together for Bethany’s wedding? tThe wedding card was hand delivered with the gift from all of the bridesmaids. I used PSA stamps for this one too.
I used the thin colored sharpies to color in the stamps… the giant ring (on the card) is a bangle. The other giant ring was a hint from a friends mom before the BF got it together.
The tiny little toilet paper tube package was for my sister’s birthday. It was late, oopsie. The lady at the post office said there was a chance it wouldn’t make it. She was wrong, it made it! I wrapped the empty tp roll in oil cloth from a recent craft fail! I ended up using the Elmer’s craft bond glue dots for the ends of the tp roll.
Do you still send snail mail? Do you love getting letters and packages as much as me? Are you card maker? Do you love looking at cards at Target? Do you have a favorite card you like to re make again and again? I’d love to hear… or see your creations…

La direction du coût sobre diamants reste plus indécis, mais il pourra être utilie de aussi rajouter le
tarif des ressources.
