I'll upload something in a few to show you the one idea I had for them. In keeping with the "office" theme that SU! has been coordinating embellishments and papers for, I think the clips make a nice addition to the top of the "folder card". You can make it yourself using totally tabs or use the folder cut outs from "Pockets and Pieces" as the central image on your card and clip the edges. Like I said, I'll upload a pocket card I did recently.
Oddly, I'm gonna try talking you OUT of buying them.
They are SOOO tiny, even though you think you're prepared for how small they are. I'm talking no bigger than the size of your pinkie fingernail.
They're REALLY hard to actually clip on anything. Because they're so small, they don't open really wide anyway, but even if they did, they're too tiny to get a good grip on. At the Louisville regionals, we used one on a project and were supposed to clip it onto three layers, I think it was. Yeah, right. Most everybody ended up using a glue dot to hold it in place.
Anyway, I'm normally a HUGE fan of SU accessories, but I certainly haven't been going out of my way to point these out to anybody. Personally, I think there are better things to spend the money on.... but that's just me!

and that's the rest of it. They are very tiny, but as you can see I have it clipped to 2 layers of cs and that thick stretchy ribbon. Use the rubber rounded end of a bobbi pin to help you pry it open without breaking the clips. There wasn't much else in the mini that impressed me, but those did!

That is actually what I love about them. I think they are sooooo cute. However, I know that not everyone likes the same things so if this isn't your thing, hang on to your hat because there will SOON be another embellishment that you can't live without.
