Here’s my contribution for my neighborhood cookie exchange. It was SO MUCH MORE FUN than baking! I used the Scallop #2 Sizzix die and Stampin’ Up!’s super-duper, easy-to-use Circle Scissors Plus to cut the circles for the inlay. I added some ribbon and stapled the toppers to small cello bags.
I had to make six dozen of these, so I was happy that the candy was BOGO this week. It made the project that much sweeter!

Well, I take it back.
It has been so extremely hot that I have to keep reminding myself what holiday it is that is coming up…
The Fourth of July? Labor Day?
Please, Mother Nature, can you just let it drop below 80 degrees? Even for five minutes?
If not, I think I’m going to visit the fresh vegetable section of Costco. One split second in there would feel really, really good right now.
Here is a super-easy card that will certainly impress your friends!
1) Cut a piece of 12″ x 12″ cardstock in half
2) Score at 4″ and 8″
3) Fold
4) Cut off one corner in a triangle shape
5) Use the cut-off triangle piece as the pattern for the other triangle cuts
7) Use a 6″ x 6″ envelope for mailing (requires extra postage)
