When was the last time you put a hand-stamped card in the mail to someone? Picture your friend, trudging out to her mailbox in 100+ degree weather, opening the mailbox door and pulling out a stack of mail. She flips through the pile, finding mostly flyers, bills, and wait, what’s this?? A sweet Whisper White envelope — “High quality!,” she thinks to herself. And what’s that on the corner? Could it be… a hand-stamped little picture? “What a great day for mail,” she’s thinking now with a smile to herself.
Isn’t it a great feeling to pass that friendly smile along? When you have your stamps out to craft a card, remember to pick up the envelope you’re going to use and add a quick decoration to the outside. Let your friends and family know right there at the mailbox that there’s something fun in their mail that day. Don’t forget to stamp your envelopes!
Oh, and by the way, if you’re looking for a quick card, be sure to check this one out. It’s one of the 4 Stamps in the Mail Club projects that can be delivered to YOUR mailbox in August, complete with stamps and inks, when you sign up for my Stamps in the Mail Club (click here to learn more or sign up).
Happy Stamping!
You’re so very right, Meg. My friends are like the cobbler’s kids when it comes to getting ‘just because’ cards from me. That’s not good and it does ignore a very important part of why I stamp. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this Meg! Reminded me to share and take that next step of sharing the card.
