We all know how the price of food is going up, up, up! So if you are a coupon clipper, then check this out!
Supplies:
(8) CD envelopes
Bind-It-All
5/8" Bind-It-All O-wires
(2) 5" x 5" chipboard
(10) 5" x 5" patterned paper or cardstock
(2) 5" x 5" white cardstock
1" circle punch
paper trimmer
adhesive
file tabs/inserts
stamps, ink, ribbon, and other embellishments
Directions:
1. Using your paper trimmer, cut the flap off of each CD envelope.
2. Cover chipboard pieces with patterned paper on one side and white cardstock on the other.
3. Stamp around the edge on the front of each envelope.
4. Adhere patterned paper to the back of each envelope. I used the Brighten My Day Wing It Collection from The Angel Company.
5. Punch a half circle at the top/front of each CD envelope using the 1" circle punch.
6. Bind the book all together with the Bind-It-All.
7. Attach file tabs to each envelope. My categories are hand-written on the inserts. You can make up your own coupon categories but here is what I used: Beverages, Breakfast, Cleaners, Dairy, Fruit & Veg., Misc., Snacks, and Pet Supply.
8. Embellish the front and back as desired.
Let me know what you think!

I love your blog Vicki!! You do some great projects and your tutorials are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us. Blessings

What a great idea! I have some of those just waiting for a project AND just got my BIA last week! Woo-hoo!
What a great project Vicki! I just threw out my old coupon keeper because it was falling apart and now you've inspired me to make a new one instead of buying one!

I have wanted to do the coupon thing for such a long time but they always get wadded up and torn up in my purse, even in my billfold they fall out and go in a million different directions! What an AWESOME way to keep track! This would even be great to keep receipts in, and so much more! The wheels are turning now! I have to make this!! Thanks for sharing such an awesome idea!!

This is brilliant! I clip coupons and then never use them. Maybe this would inspire me?!?! Fabulous job!
