Re: Calling All Crafters - March 16

@SMA X 2 You are definitely not alone!!!!  I HATE HSN shipping!!!!  Mine also is still "packaging".  And I cringe when they say on air that the items will ship out in a day or two!  They should say that only applies to some customers!!!!  But I try not to complain too much, since I'm grateful that they even have the craft shows!!!!!

Susan..........I totally agree about UPS handing it over to the post office.  That adds a day or two delivery to my items.  And we have UPS trucks come by and Fed Ex trucks come by.  Just doesn't make much sense.

The dreaded Smart Post...gosh how I hate it.  I'm sure it gives QVC and HSN a price break to have the USPS deliver to the mailbox vs. UPS/Fed Ex to the door, but the delay is frustrating.  QVC packages take 10 - 14 business days to reach me.  That's why I'm so delighted at the quick delivery of AG items from HSN.  It's such a surprise for me every time.

Re: Calling All Crafters - March 16

After making a dozen of the flippin' cards, I decided to share some info with you all.  I made the cards and then decided that I didn't like the floral pieces showing through on the back of the front piece when you opened the card.  Then it dawned on me that the gold two sided pieces were to be put on the back of the front to hide them.  I tried that and with the foam stickies, they didn't lay as flat as I wanted.  I have decided that it is probably better to put a piece of paper or cardstock on the entire back to cover all of the floral pieces.  I guess you live and learn.  It's a good thing that I have gold paper to use.  I'll see if it looks decent that way.  Has anyone else tried to make them?
