Great idea. Just a thought, it might be nice to stamp with a sentiment ie "With Love" or something before embossing so it doesn't look so plain. Thanks for the tip x
Cool idea! I make cards for my friends and family, and have to mail them in special "puffy" envelopes, which are rather expensive. This is better, and way cheeper! Thanks! ~Janet in Canada
I try to track down 1mm fun foam and put that in, if I have sequins. Dollar tree used to sell it, but no longer. Amazon does tho. A bit more money. Some of my peeps like mom and sil will actually save fun foam and give it back when they see me.
Good idea. I’ve also used the waxy piece of paper that comes with the labels for my stamps. I cut it in half. It’s thin and provides a little protection. It’s not as pretty as the embossed idea though. 😊
Wonderful tip! Pair your technique with an A6 envelope instead of an A2, & that's a perfect way to protect your work. Sometimes for those extra special cards I'll get a colorful padded mailer from the Dollar Store and pay the extra $$ to mail it.
Thank you for covering this topic. I like to mail cards, usually with embellishments, but when doing so, increases the price (sometimes). I`'ve never seen anyone covering this topic. Very helpful!!!
This is something I will have to try. I have used bubble wrap cut from envelopes or the fibrous sheets that come in some packages, but this looks easier.
I use bubble wrap for 3d decoupage or even simpler, turn card inside out.Done this for decades. Or make a good box envelope, if the card is worth making its worth spending the money on the mail. !
I use to do this but this Christmas I just turned the card inside out so the diamonties don't get scraped with the address reader I received a return to sender one and the card was still gpod
I'm glad you found the tip helpful. I have actually taken sending the card as an opportunity to reach out via text or call a few times and told them about it after they let me know the card was received! Everyone has simply stated that it was a great idea and pretty paper - LOL
Great tip! I also use an old tool called a crimper. It does a great job protecting a card.
That’s a great way to protect your cards!
I cut a piece of bubble wrap and use that with no extra cost to post both here in Australia and also to the UK.
That's great! If no bubble wrap is available, though, you could give the embossing a go!
Great tip. I have used plain paper before, but I can see where the embossed paper would be better to cover up embellished cards.
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Great idea. Just a thought, it might be nice to stamp with a sentiment ie "With Love" or something before embossing so it doesn't look so plain. Thanks for the tip x
That's a great idea! I'll have to try that.
Awesome tip. I always use just a piece of card stock. Never thought of embossing it. I'll do that going forward. Thank you for you tips.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! You'll love the added protection of a little embossing.
great tip, I mail all my cards and have a small scale to make sure I don't need that extra oz. stamp added. tfs.
Great idea!

So very glad you found this tip to be helpful!
Great tip! I also cut bubble mailers I receive into 4 x 5.25 pieces and use the to pad my card fronts.
I'm glad you found a solution that works for you!
I do that all the time, never cost me extra. I do not emboss but that's a good idea and extra pretty.
So glad you found this tip helpful!
I like this tip! Nice to see a u tuber from NE Ohio!

That's so nice of your mom and SIL to help you out like that! They must love getting cards from you!

I’m glad you found that helpful! Any protection is better than none!
I’ve added a folded 20 lb printer paper cut to size which is light weight. Thanks for your tip.
That’s a great idea - thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the great idea. It's so appreciated that you share such a wonderful idea with all of us. Thank you again.
Glad you found it helpful!
This is a great tip! I have had to pay extra postage because the card had to be hand sorted due to bumps from embellishments. This is great! Thanks
Oh no! Glad you found this helpful!
Great idea!! Thanks, Julia!!
Glad you liked it!!

Padded mailers work well for well-embellished cards. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you never thought of that.. hugs from Maryland..
So glad it was helpful!
I have always run a piece of scrap card stock through my crimper to add to cards I mail. Great tip!
That's a great idea! And it's awesome you use the crimper!

I'm so glad you found it helpful. I've been there, too!
Awesome tip! Thank you! I can’t resist using embellishments so this will come in handy!😊
You're welcome! Embellishments are so much fun. 😊
This is something I will have to try. I have used bubble wrap cut from envelopes or the fibrous sheets that come in some packages, but this looks easier.

Very smart tip. Thank you! 😊

Good idea. Could use old retired colored card stock colors.
Great idea!
Definitely prettier than bubblewrap or plain cardstock on top of a nice card.
True! We all want our cards to arrive looking nice!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.❤
So glad you find it a helpful tip!
This was a great tip!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for your wonderful tip.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Have just come across your video, what a great tip thank you x
So glad! And also thankful that you're here!
Good idea. Maybe could use a folded up piece of tissue paper.
Glad you found it helpful! Yes, we all need to do what will work for us!
Thank you for that great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this GREAT tip!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been using thin bubble wrap that comes in packaging like envelopes from Amazon.
That works too! But the embossing is a fun alternative.
I cut up those foam mailers into rectangles to pad the cards. It doesn’t cost anymore to mail my cards.
I'm glad you've found a solution that works for you!
Thanks for this tip, Julia! Happy New Year
Glad you found it helpful! Happy New Year to you, too!
Thank you for your tip😊

Wow! Thank you so much for this great tip! 😊

My post office charges me more cause it’s too thick they say so another sheet of plain paper won’t work - thanks anyway fir your video.
That's too bad! I hope you find a way to keep your cards safe!
I just found your channel today and subscribed. This is a great tip!
Awesome! Thank you! And welcome!
Great idea! Thanks!
You bet!
I use to do this but this Christmas I just turned the card inside out so the diamonties don't get scraped with the address reader I received a return to sender one and the card was still gpod
Oh no, that's terrible! I'm glad the card was still good, though!
That's a wonderful idea. I'm just wondering if the recipient will understand why that extra piece of card is there.
I'm glad you found the tip helpful. I have actually taken sending the card as an opportunity to reach out via text or call a few times and told them about it after they let me know the card was received! Everyone has simply stated that it was a great idea and pretty paper - LOL
