Snail mail is somewhat of a lost art. Thankfully, we can revive the joys of sending and receiving a handwritten letter for a very affordable price. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE getting personalized mail when I open the mailbox.
Consider spending a few minutes to share a few encouraging words with a friend. In this post, I share what my husband and I do to make fun, personal stationery for every occasion.

Step 1: Make or buy custom word banners (Thanks, Happy Birthday, Congrats, etc.)
Step 2: Bring them with you on a trip or simply in front of whatever backdrop you prefer.
Step 3: Have someone take your picture or set up your camera to self-timer.
Step 4:
Print your pictures (ideally in 4×3 inch size and we print about 25 of each banner)
Step 5: Buy panel cards (we got ours in assorted colors at Target), photo adhesive, and colored paper.
Step 6: Cut colored paper to desired size and shape, adhere photo to paper, and paper to panel card.
Step 7: Write your note, stamp, address, and send it with love!
