You gotta love this community!!! When I asked for suggestions on how to contain or close my very springy fun fold card, Carla (Covington Crafter) came through with the perfect answer. Use a coffee cup sleeve. I loved that idea and wondered why I hadn't thought of it (could have been the crafting at midnight with the gray matter on auto pilot?) I did have to use a sleeve as a template as the card was slightly wider. And I had a chance to dig out the paper crimper.
The cup is part of a wonderful die cut set from Sizzix TH. I used an old Crafty Secrets clear stamp set for the Coffee.
The front and inside are in today's gallery further down. Thank you Carla...you saved me today.

Great suggestion...love the crimped sleeve and your accordian fold papers. That coffee cup is perfect, and it occurs to be it might make an interesting gift card hold or money holder to slip in where the tan papers are inserted. Would that work?

Oh I like this very much! Love the way you did the foam in the cup. Wonderful papers (I mourn for BG) and interesting fold. The closure is perfect; so nice to get help from our peers! ...now if anyone is interested I have a house to clean ...what no takers?
