Hot Cocoa Cards (and a mailable giftie!)

 

It all started with these magnets.

I saw these cute hot cocoa magnets in a Current Catalog, and thought they'd make a fun gift to mail to the ladies in my Facebook Coffee Card Swap group. 

They also had these sheets of stickers. And both were buy one get one free!

I had planned on using the stickers for just the envelopes, but then I had another idea. Could I use these as the focal points on a card, too? Is it cheating to use stickers and not stamps?

When you're making thirty cards, it's fine to press the Easy button!

I came up with a simple design using background papers, dies and some glittery snowflakes.

Ta da! Just the right mix of holiday cheer!

I wanted to be extra careful on the weight of these cards...no heavy layers, no foam tape dimensionals. The reason? I knew the magnets would add a little extra weight in the envelope, and I wanted to keep it all at 1 ounce, which is the acceptable weight for USPS Forever stamps.

Sending Holiday Cheer!
