Loaded Envelope

I made two of these loaded envelopes for some card-making friends. It's the first loaded envelope I made, but I think I'll be making more! In the outside bottom two pockets I had a set of water color note cards and "card candy".

The outside top pocket had three tags. I love the puns!

The inside pocket had a pack of gum, a mug cake mix, and a shaker card element featuring sticky boy. Sticky boy is a coveted stamp by Close To My heart consultants. He only appears at corporate events and you need to be lucky to find him!

Joyful Stars December Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars December Blog Hop! If you've come from Joyce's blog you're on the right track. If you just happened upon my blog, that's fine, just continue from here and when you get back to me, you know you've seen them all! 

My project is a Christmas card featuring the new Hopscotch paper packet, new white shimmer trim, and white enamel stars. The sentiment was created with the A Typeface stamp set. Lastly the amigo is my Sticky Boy! 

Sticky Boy is a much loved icon by Close To My Heart consultants. He first appeared to introduce our amazing My Acrylix® Stamp Sets 10 years ago! We are celebrating that anniversary and Sticky Boy's birthday with the Deal of the Decade special this month. Sticky Boy appears to consultants at Close To My Heart's annual convention. I was lucky to find one in Washington DC in 2010, but sadly he met with a cruel fate.

This was right before Convention 2012 in Dallas. I was hoping to get another one and lucky me I found a little baby Sticky Cowboy. Yeehaw!

Even better was the 2013 Convention in Disney World. Close To My Heart supports the charity Operation Smile and during the auction it was my privilege to bid on and win a full sheet of Sticky Boys. This stamp set has not been used until today! I wanted to make special cards for my amigas this Christmas.

Sticky Boy! | CTMH My Acrylix Clear Stamps

Check out this video featuring Sticky Boy. As I understand Sticky Boy was the first acrylic stamp to be made by Close To My Heart as a "test subject." He is not available to buy, but sticky boy appears at convention, and consultants are eager to find him. I just got back from convention and guess what, I found one! He was riding the escalator.
