Well, now what? I could hand deliver it, or I could make a box that will preserve the paper flower petals. Fellow Stampin' Addicts member and Stampin' Up demonstrator Adriana Benitez to the rescue. She created a tutorial for creating a small box for mailing five greeting cards, or in my case, one very bulky card.
This cool thing is this tutorial uses supplies I guarantee you have on hand. You're a crafter; you don't throw things away, right? :) Since my card only has to make it across town, I thought I would give this a try and see how it fares... after the recipient lets me know! :)P.S. I'm happy to report the card and the box arrived in great shape!
Thanks for stopping by!

What gorgeous flowers!! And a very smart idea to mail it in the box for protection!
The card is stunning! So glad all that wonderful was preserved in the mail.
Love that card. Just gorgeous!! So glad it made it safely to your friend. It would have been a shame if it had been smashed.
I love the stitching around the edges (it's a machine stitch, right?) I always admire that but don't dig out my machine to add it myself...does your sewing machine sit in your craft room?
What a great way to preserve your works of art! Heading over to check it out!
