Day 119 - Mail-able

One of the toughest things about creating cards is making something that is easy to mail without paying extra or using a large envelope.

Usually I don't worry about it - I make what I want and pay the extra postage, but today's challenge is all about creating a card that is easy to mail - but still looks fabulous, of course!

Here's my example


With a 4x6 envelope and a regular stamp, it's ready to go!

And isn't that elephant from Paper Pretties adorable?  I had such fun with the image and the sentiment that I used all over the background.

The challenge is to avoid making a bulky card...can you do it?  Give it a try and link your card up here...

I'm a big believer in "mailable" cards. Thanks for a fun challenge.

My Post Office is terrible about ANY lumps or bumps- pretty much anything not flat requires an extra $0.20 cent stamp! I am trying to create more CAS/flat cards- love this challenge!

Oh, thank you for this challenge! I try and make my cards mailable so that I do not have to go to the post office to mail them. Love the DT card and sentiment.
