This year, as I was going through my stash of Christmas cards, I came across a few cards that I had made over the years that I never mailed.
Why is that, you may ask?
I didn’t mail them because I knew they would require extra postage.
They were bulky because of embellishments that I had added.
So, this year, I hand-delivered them to attendees at a recent Christmas card making class.
They were a hit!
Here are a few of those hard to mail cards:
This straw Christmas tree card was featured in a post on October 26, 2013.
I had seen the idea on Pinterest, and made it quickly using straws I found in my crafting stash.
This steam punk Christmas tree was featured in a post on December 21, 2012.
It was the card I made for a Stamp Club Steam Punk themed card swap.
The tree was cut out of copper roof flashing.
This blue iris folded Christmas Ornament was featured in a post on January 28, 2013.

And finally, here are two shaker cards from Pining for Plaid, the October Paper Pumpkin kit.
These cards were easy to create in a matter of minutes using the items in the kit, but a little bulky to mail because of the foam circles needed to create the shaker part.
I hope these cards will provide inspiration.
Even if they are a little bulky for mailing because of embellishments used, they can still be hand-delivered, attached to a present or to batch of homemade goodies!
