handmade halloween - the extra late version


Hey hey there. Halloween has come and gone and I actually missed it this year because I was in the hospital for my surgery, but I still want to share the snail mail cards I made and sent out to my dear friends.

I was up super late crafting up these cards like a crazy woman. I've never made cards or sent any stationery out in the mail for friends or family - how wild is that?! But I had so much fun, I'm looking forward for every single upcoming holiday. All OF THE BEAUTIFUL CARD POSSIBILITIES!!I used washi tape to make the festive backgrounds and I stamped the creepy images and cute them out and attached them to dimensional adhesive so the card wasn't too flat.

I included hand warmers and cute tiny little bat erasers in a larger mailer. I'm so oblivious to stamps and how much it should cost to send mail out, I'm more than positive that $13 was way too much to send out two cards with a couple hand warmers and erasers stuffed inside.. Oh well it was totally worth it. I really like the the black circle stickers I added to the back of the envelopes with white gel pen.

I had the grand idea of giving handmade gifts to everyone this year which I think is a marvelous, exciting, and fun thing to do, except for the fact that I've done NADA. I really need to get a move on so I won't end up ripping all of my hair out haha.

Until next time!
