Live Happy . . . with COFFEE, of course!

We just had another fun CLOclub meeting the other night - I just love chatting and stamping with those wonderful gals!  I know they like it, too . . . and they go home with some mighty fun projects!  Over the next few posts, I'm going to share with you some of those CLOclub projects!

This first one could be made for any occasion . . . it's a treat packet card!  You can fill it with anything that fits - such a nice surprise to get treats in a card!  My fave treat?  Coffee packets!

I received one similar to this from my stamping friend Sue Schmidt, and kept it for future reference.  I found the instructions on Sarah Wills' blog. And the design was inspired by a pretty card created by my upline Dawn!  I changed the dimensions slightly so that I used just a half sheet of cardstock the long way, 4-1/4" wide.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Fun Fold for Christmas

I really like the surprise of a different fold when I pull a card from the envelope.  This is the card I made for Christmas last year, and it uses a 'letter fold' on a 5.5" x 4.25" piece of cardstock.  The bottom is folded up, then the top folded down to just overlap a bit - the finished card is 5.5" x 4".

The belly band is punched at each end, folded around the card, and secured with ribbon and a bit of bling.  I made two variations - one for my Stampin' Up! Only (SUO) swap, and one for my family Christmast list.

Don't you love those little jingle bells?!  They even made a tinkling sound. And they mailed fine with an added quarter sheet of cardstock to shield them inside the envelope.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted
