A solution for mailing bulky cards and another kraftin kimmie!
Happy Hump Day everyone! Woo Hoo! It is all downhill from now til the weekend! Ok, enough excitement but sometimes it doesn't take much to make me happy. First thing I wanted to show you was these neat little 6x6 pizza boxes I got to mail my bulky cards in. The card I have inside is actually 6x6 and I have plenty of space to put some tissue paper around it and it should be very well protected. I got them online from a company called Uline for .39 cents a piece but I believe there was a minimum order of 50. I did get them quickly though, 2 days and they were here. It will take me quite awhile to use all of them but I definitely think they were worth the money.
Next I have a card I did and I tried to see how many challenges I could incorporate cause I am really bad at doing multiple challenges.
Colored with copics, some stitching to the edges and I made the flower using a MFT die. The frog on her head and in the flower both have glossy accents applied and I tore the edges of the image then inked them with Vintage Photo DI to make it stand out a bit. I have used a brown ruffled and velvet ribbon along the edge but it just sort of blends in with the brown paper in the photo, prettier irl. I am patting myself on the back cause I can enter this baby into 4 different challenges. Not a lot for some people but for me that is darn good. Hope everyone has a great next couple of days then weekend!!!

Fabulous Amanda. I do love (and still have) this stamp because it reminds me of my niece, she's all pretty and girly but then plays with slugs and worms..weird huh?
Love the extra little frog...looks like he's on a lilypad to me.
Hugs
You xx
