Friendly Hello
Today I have used the Friendly Hello stamp set and coordinating paper to make this card to share with you. This is a card that I made last week at a demo event that my friend, Susie, provided. It is also one of the cards in last week's Cards in the Mail Packet.
But did you know that today is National Send a Card to a Friend day??
Have you ever gotten excited when you open the mailbox and you find a handwritten card or letter? We all love getting items (not bills) in the mail. But why? Perhaps it's the time it takes to sit down in our busy lives and write the card. Perhaps it’s the fact that the person was thinking about you when they selected or made the card. Perhaps it’s the quaintness of receiving something so physical in our age of rapid digital and instant gratification. So . . . who are you going to send a card to today???
You will notice when Susie designed this card that she used two smaller strips of the flowered paper instead of one larger piece? This is a great way to use up all of those smaller pieces of designer series paper that you have laying around!!
