I have a little secret to tell you... I can't help myself, when I grab my mail.. if there is Happy Mail I have to STOP right there and open it up. I find myself reading notes, letters and such more than once even. Am I alone??
On today is Card Reading Day and I had to say that this had me re-read some of my more recent happy mail... and smile with the pictures and words they included.

Recently I sent these beauties out to those on my mailing list. I added a little word sentiment to it but today I wanted to show you the peek-a-boo fun inside to this card.
An Easel Card is so easy and fun to create. Something special and new with just one little additional score line.
~ Score a full sheet of Old Olive card stock, long ways, at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2" (using our Simply Scored board or our Stampin' Trimmer).
~ Turn 90* and cut at 4-14" (our Stampin' Trimmer can do both with the cutting and scoring blades in one fine track).
~ Cut the Rich Razzelberry card stock to 4" x 5-1/4", Whisper White to 3-3/4" x 5" and the Suite Soiree Designer Series Paper to 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" and adhere them together (here I used a circle punch to round the corners of each for interest).
~ TOOL TIP: A Super Strong Adhesive that I love is our Tear Tape. This tape is ideal for projects that move or interact.. like this Easel Card that can open and close! 3D items and more work great with that adhesive as well..
~ Adhere to the lower scored area of the front of the card.
~ Stamp the inside of the card and adhere the calendar.. this will help create a framed type of art for your desk (or the desk of those who you care for).

My other secret... here are the cards from our Christmas. ALL of my mail was in a big metal bucket until last week. I was soooo busy during the holidays that I couldn't look up and through my mail. What a fun thing to do this past week, reading the notes, Christmas letters, seeing the pictures of our loved ones.
Happy Card Reading Day! Sending a card, receiving a card... I know that when I receive any Happy Mail, I find myself tearing it open at the mail box. It happens so rare and is just so much fun!
