    Great tip! I also use an old tool called a crimper. It does a great job protecting a card.

    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 cut a piece of bubble wrap and use that with no extra cost to post both here in Australia and also to the UK.

    • @JuliaSueStamping
      @JuliaSueStamping  27 днів тому +1

      That's great! If no bubble wrap is available, though, you could give the embossing a go!

    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

    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.

    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

  • @Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia

    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. !

  • @stampbooker
    @stampbooker 18 днів тому +2

    Great tip!! So when I have a bumpy card, I’ll pay extra and have the post office mark it as non machinable. Are you saying you don’t have to do this when you add that embossed cardstock? That’s WONDERFUL!!

    • @JuliaSueStamping
      @JuliaSueStamping  18 днів тому

      Yes, that's how it has worked for me so far - no extra postage; however, my cards are not usually very thick. Thickness and lots of layers would make a difference. So glad you enjoyed the tip. Hope you're able to find it useful.

  • @debzj5021
    @debzj5021 27 днів тому +2

    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.
