    What an awesome way to repurpose the little card folders! Wish I had a bunch of those folders….the hotels I stay at don’t do fancy…LOL!!!

    I saved them forever then finally tossed them. ALWAYS before I finally need something. These are so cute and a fun way to spend a small amount of time creatively. It’s good to give and good to make to give. Now, I need to go recreate a bunch from my stash – oh well, I’m trying to use it up anyway.

      Hah, I know Mary! That is the truth! But of all people, I thought you would definitely have some on hand 😉

      I’m glad you loved them Joi! You will never look at these little card holders the same way again – LOL!

    Good Morning, Lorraine….I was so surprised to get my stamps in the mail on Saturday after ordering them on Thursday….from Florida to Nevada. It takes a week for my mom to receive a card from me and she only lives 50 miles away….???? I don’t travel much and don’t have any key card envelopes so I’m going to follow Jody Wilson’s advice and make my own templates. After watching all the different styles you showed in your video, I shouldn’t have any problems with coming up with something ready to create with all kinds of supplies. By the way, I love the stamps….I’ve put them on foam that I happened to have on-hand and cut them apart…so easy. I’m ready to go have fun today. Thank you so much for the tutorial…it was wonderful as always. Hugs, Sue

      Yay, Sue! Isn’t that crazy about the mail? We have the same issues here in Florida – sometimes the closest addresses take the longest! I’m so happy they arrived and you are using and liking them! I know it will be so easy to make up your own template – really if you just look at how an envelope is constructed, it is kind of the same think, only tinier! Thanks for taking the time to comment – I love hearing from you!

    Great ideas of repurposing and art techniques. I’m inspired! Thanks for the video.

    1. Lorraine Bell

      Thanks so much Sue! I am glad you found something useful!

  13. Lauren Mack

    Great ideas and techniques! Could you possibly share the dimensions of that larger fold out for those of us that don’t have the card itself and want to recreate it? Thanks so much!

    Just got back from a trip with 10 key holders. I begged the front desk for multiples 😊
    Can’t wait to paint them. I will use to put the Christmas money in stockings for kids and grandkids. Thanks for the inspiration. I love all your work and now I have my fusion stamps.
