Happy Mail :)

I sent out Happy Mail in October with a bunting, a letter, stickers, mini cards, tags, The Incredible Moodbear, pipe cleaner heart, confetti (enclosed in a clear pouch so it only flies everywhere if the recipient wants it too ;) ), and I can't remember if there was anything else. This was 4 days before I got my new camera; my old one having decided not to charge on the first day of our summer vacation. Therefore I don't have any pictures of that first Happy Mail, except for the mini cards which I made extras of:
Mini Cards
Patterned paper: Michaels Recollections Tattered and Worn and Colorbok 6in Hootenanny
Chamois cardstock: Indonesia 2/S Pepper Perfumed (and boy does it stink!)
Word/Quote Sticker: K & Company Sheri's Garden Word Swatch Book
Crystals: SBC Say It in Crystals
Metallic Puffy Sticker: China PUF-304B
Dark Brown cardstock: Fabriano Cartacrea
Diecuts: Sizzix
Holograph paper: unknown
Satin Ribbon: Sunflower/Moonflower

Two weeks ago I sent out Christmas Happy Mail, yay! and I even took some pictures, double yay! The folders should be arriving soon, I know one recipient received theirs, so I'm going to post the pictures :) First I made these clips, hats and trees...
The hat I clipped to the outside and the tree went on the inside of the folder.
Stamps: Tree - A Stamp in the Hand Co.; Word - Michaels Recollections Christmas Noel; Dots and Small Trees - Stampendous; Snowflakes - TPC Studio Girlfriends
Brads: Generic
Twine: Retail, Inc.
Glitter Sticker Tape: Twin Seven
Cardstock: Red - Sbc Bristol (180gsm, should have used heavier stock but couldn't find it in red here); Green - Fabriano Cartacrea (220 gsm, much better weight)

And here's a picture of what I included in the folder:

Materials for stuff inside:
Inside: Gold contact type paper - probably by 'China' as there is no name
Satin ribbon: Sunflower China
Sparkly ribbon: momotara
Bling: See above
Stickers: Kwang Ping Self Adhesive Labels (finally a China product with a company name)
Paper for tags: ROCO Brief Card
Other paper: See above

Tags: Heidi Swapp, Ephemera's Vintage Garden,  Decorator's Notebook Blog, and modernmomentsdesigns.com (actually takes you to pintrest because I couldn't get their website to load)
Bunting: Simple As That (tags I printed two sheets to a page and used as the bunting)
Envelope closures: ScrappyStickyInkyMess
Holly: West World Trading
Stamping ink: Tsukineko Memento

Fun stuff inside: 
Advent bunting, assorted tags for gifts, stickers, confetti (all sealed up), 2 shaped clips and a mini binder clip (actually there are 2 one is on the bunting tag keeping the bunting from unrolling), bling, and a sprig of holly leaves. I also put in Santa and Mrs. Claus magnets (not pictured, but I do have the couple on my refrigerator) I made from paper dolls found here.

Hopefully the Christmas Happy mail will brighten up some Christmases :)

Have a great day!
