Make a mailable card display tutorial

 Hello and welcome to day two of the inspiration crews 12 days of  holiday projects blog hop.

Today I'm sharing a DIY card self standing display that's totally mailable.

 I enjoy making our family's holiday cards every year.  A lot of thought, product and time goes into each card I make for our family and friends so I thought of away to make these cards displayable.

 For the base of this card you'll need just one really sturdy 11 x 8 1/2 piece of paper.

Cut it so you have one strip of 11 x 4 1/4 and two peices of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 (you'll only be using one of these)

 Next take the longer piece and score it at 1 1/2, 7, 8 and 9

 Fold creases like so

 The next step is to adhere the front 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece to the end tabs.

In the picture below you can see inside the display where the ends or adhered to the front piece.

That is basically it.

Now you just have to add your picture and make it pretty.

Since we have family all over it was important that this card, although a display, was mailable.

The design of it makes it easy to flatten and fits into a regular size card envelope.

Note: You may have to pay more for shipping depending on the products you use.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  And if you ever make a "mailable card display" please let me know.  I would love to see it!

Now go check out all the holiday awesomeness the rest of the ladies have for you.
