Ouch

Image is from #126 HIT In The Garden. Papers are from Cupcards {to go} June kit. Flowers are colored with Copics then I brushed a layer of Shimmerz over the top. Now my question is this. I know this cute pins are "in" right now in cardmaking and scrapbooking, but I would be the one to surely poke herself trying to open and read my card. Struck me as odd. I need to put a rubber eraser thingy on the end of it. I love the look but the practicality or lack of I guess, escapes me. I tried snipping it off but it just makes it worse.

Invented by someone who hates postmen, bet it really hurts when he sorts the mail too.

Golly Gee Debby, this is gorgeous!

I'm with ya on that pin thing, they look lovely but ouchy!

Someone sent me some with a RAK and they weren't sharp at all, believe me, I kept poking it in my finger to see if....and nope it wasn't sharp at all! (dumb way to test I know!)So there must be some in exsistence made just for cardmakers! lol But I still wonder how practical they are in an envelope going thru our postal system!
Blessings, Maria

Deb, that actually happened to me!! I was sent a card by a very sweet friend of mine. I was so excited to open it, and in the excitement I guess, I felt a bit of pain but didn't really take notice, until I saw that I had blood all over the envelope. The gorgeous card I was sent had two pins in it and I guess I stuck myself with one and caused me to bleed and ruin my pretty card. LOL!! I thought it could only happen to me!
Anyhow, dangerous or not, your card is beautiful. Hugs sweetie, Leslie
