Free-Standing Card... Made Flatter for Mailing!

Christina, from Card Making Magic, shows how to make a card suitable for mailing... without needing a box! She gets rid of the flowers she's known for using (which are way too dimensional in height for the mail). But she still makes a dimensional one, just flatter, and she doesn't lose any of her creative style.

As a double bonus, the card she makes is a free-standing one! Hers is quite large... ...8x8... but you could adapt the measurements and make a smaller one or even a rectangular one (A2 size)! Remember, to add extra postage per ounce
(20 cents in USA) if it's heavier than 1 ounce, and for it to go First Class Mail, it must be within these guidelines:

Dimension	Minimum	Maximum
Height	3-1/2 inches	6-1/8 inches
Length	5 inches	11-1/2 inches
Thickness	0.007 inch	1/4 inch

(I always put a very thin piece of bubble wrap over the "humps"... like the knot

in the bow or pearls or bling, to prevent P.O. machines from ripping

the envelopes and possibly the card!)
