so grateful

Sorry about the photography of this tall card...they are always a photo challenge for me. This card went postal in July just like yesterday's...it went to Ivy over at My Asian Heritage. I wanted to highlight the Ginger Blossoms dp and what better way than a tall card?

I've noticed a trend in people talking about all the cards we make...just sitting...not going postal. I typically make cards with someone specifically in mind but I certainly have a pile just waiting to go out snail mail. What do you all do with the cards waiting to go to a new home?

Happy Thursday!!!!

This is stunning! You are so good at bringing out the best in DP. You should design for a paper company!

I have sent cards to soldiers, and I have been a chemo angel. Those are two ways to use cards.

I do have a box of cards that I can't bear to part with...either because of technique or sentimentality. Tomorrow marks one year I have been uploading on SCS...Yeah for you that most of them are quickly passed along! This one is striking and I had a chance to pop into Aisan Heritage...what an awesome site.

Happy Thursday, Amy

As a side note about going postal...one of my cards I made for my friend to celebrate out trip to the coast in July...I made it a month out and promptly mailed it...it arrived 6 weeks later...now that was a distance of 250 miles...I could have walked it to her!

What's up with that?

way to highlight a Designer Paper, gorgeous!

I do the same, make cards for someone particular in mind but have a hard time to part with them =( but i sure need to send them out =)

I love your card! Gorgeous!!

I made very little to send out. I have a small family and my friends are limited too.

I'm thinking of selling them. Dunno, that Etsy thing. But not sure. Or craft fairs closer to the holidays. But I live in a small town, not sure if people will want to fork out $3.50-$4/card. It's like gas money right there.

I've donated some too but I make a lot as you know just because it's fun.

Beautiful flowers on this tall card!

I sell a lot of my cards so they go to my box at work or into boxes that I'll take to the two stores that sell them - but I also stand some on my hutch for a while as I like to look at them right after I've made them!! and I also keep some home so I can actually send friends and family hand made cards when I need them!

This is beautiful! Some paper like this just has to be the focus of the card. I've been mailing cards recently myself, but for the past 5 years, my stamp room has mostly been a "stamping production and storage facility"! hee! hee!

Lovely card, Amy! Love the tall size too! You made me laugh with the "home bound cards", I literally have some that have been sitting here for TOO long! I won't tell you how long! LOL!
