Each month, I send a mailer full of colorful small art prints, stickers, notecards, and other paper items into the world. Part devotion, part colorful paper goods collection, each mailer is centered around a Biblical theme.
I also sell small art prints (extra from the mailer) in this section of my shop.
Perhaps you’re curious about what to do with the items in your mailer or other small art prints.
Here are five ways you can put those items to use, so they don’t get lost in a drawer or paper pile.
1.Frame those prints!
Count It All Joy mailers are FULL of beautiful, framable items. I always include at least one 5x7 print, but even the smaller prints look gorgeous and stand out in a frame.
Hint: adding a mat can make the piece really pop and can give a smaller print more presence.
Pssst. You can find several of my favorite framing options in my Amazon shop.
2. Prints (can) = postcards!
and postcards (can) = prints!
Did you know you can mail prints as postcards? To ship at USPS postcard pricing, the print must be rectangular, at least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long and no more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long. Even larger prints (5x7s) can be mailed as postcards, with more postage.
I draw a line roughly down the middle, adding a few more lines for the name and address and voila!
To look at the equation another way, you can easily use a postcard as a print! Easy peasy.
3. Personal devotions
Every mailer includes a list of verses to encourage you to dig deeper into the monthly topic. Between the art, the verse list, and the extra content that comes in written and video forms, the mailers are designed to encourage you to spend more time in God's Word and to lean into a deeper study of what God says about the topic at hand.
4. ART JOURNALING
I love adding small art prints and stickers (both of which come in every mailer) to my journals. It adds a pop of color and often acts as a sort of prompt if I'm not sure what I want to write about.
For me, art journaling is an extension of my personal devotion time. I often write out some of the verses from the monthly verse list as well as my prayers.
5. SCATTER THROUGH YOUR SPACE
Add color and those reminders of Jesus' love and promises to your bulletin board, refrigerator, mirror, or even a bouquet of flowers.
(The last one is a great way to share God's love with a friend. What's better than fresh flowers and some encouraging art? All you need is a flower pick! )
