Interactive Vintage Mailbox Card ... It's What's Inside That Matters

This video gets straight to the point:  How to make an interactive Vintage Mailbox card using the new die set from Honey Bee Stamps.  I originally began this project as a tag (BIG tag) for my son's lunch bag and I had no intention of making a video but, my husband pushed me into making a real card AND, a video showing both the tag and card.  So, here it is.  The tag and card are constructed and function in the same manner.  It's a very easy project to make; a very quick project to put together if you need one in a pinch!  My son really has fun with this because he enjoys giving his classmates mail:  Each recipient receives a postcard with a note describing a positive characteristic about them that my son appreciates.  My apologies for the "noise" in the background (a little family distraction).
So the mailbox... it's not what's on the outside that matters most but, it's the sentiments of love and kindness that people share from the heart!
