More Favorite Finds

August 14, 2008      Nichole Heady      16 Comments

So are you ready for one more favorite find?!?

I would like to introduce you to CD Calender Cases.  They are just like regular CD jewel cases, but have a few different features and are made of a better quality material.  Read on for more details!

Calender_case
A CD Calender case is made of a clear plastic that has about twice the strength and durability of a standard CD case. 

…………………………………………………………………………
Calender_case_side_view
There is no “open space” at the spine, like standard cases and they actually can stand up easel style.

………………………………………………………………………..
Calender_case_spine
In place of the open space that is normally there, you will see a small insert ridge.  This ridge can be used to hold and display artwork, photos, calenders (hence the name) or anything else your creative brain can imagine.

………………………………………………………………………..
These cases will retail in a package of five for $3.  We are bringing the cases to you for a multitude of purposes.  One is that you could purchase them if you wished to use them as an upgrade of the free storage case we provide with our stamp sets.  Also, as described earlier, there are many creative applications too!  I thought I would start by sharing one idea with you that I created by using the new Spooky Sweets II stamp set!

Licorice_cd_treat
I have found that there are a variety of things that will fit in the cases, which I will explore further over the coming weeks.  One thing in particular that is appropriate for Halloween specifically is black licorice!  It’s easy to trim to size and is the perfect thickness to fit int he cases, all lined up in a nice little row!

…………………………………………………………………………
Spine_label
Spooky Sweets II even includes a “spine label” that can be trimmed to embellish the spine of the case.  How fun is that!!!  What else can you think of to tuck inside?

    How about filling it with recipe cards filled with family recipes? Then, when used as a stand the recipe being used would be in front. You’re killing my checkbook, BTW! :0) I’ll be ordering one of nearly everything.

    Nichole,
    Those are neat and look so sturdy. I can’t tell from looking; do you think they would work for my CD Photo Cubes? Check them out here:

    If so, I’d love to highlight that on my blog . . .
