Mini Card Set #2

Here are the other little 3x3's in the set that I showed you yesterday. I think I'm going to add a few more to the set before I give it away.

The first cards are thank you cards with a little ripe avocado button on them.

The second cards have a stitched border on them. I also stamped a Versamark flourish on the kraft. I love that look.
Enjoy your day!

Mini Card Set

I made a bunch of 3x3 cards for a set to give away. So of course I had to take tons of pictures of them and divide it into two posts. They all use paper from Turning a New Leaf.

I added a glitter strip at the bottom and a spring moss button with twine.

On this second card I stitched a dark green border around the edge but it's hard to see in the picture. It adds a nice texture to the card without a lot of bulk. Then I popped up the banner with dimensionals and added a ripe avocado button with twine.

Hope you like! I'll be back with more tomorrow!

Bee Mine

Here are two more Valentine's Day cards that I made recently. In three hours in my craft room, I whipped out six cards! That is awesome for me because usually it takes me an entire sitting to get one card done.

Anyway, this card has a shape that I don't normally work with. It happened by accident; I scored the kraft cardstock in the wrong spot and one side was shortened by an inch. But I didn't want to waste lovely kraft since I am down to just a couple sheets. (I need to get some more before I run out completely! That would be bad. Very bad!)

So I just added some Bitty Dot patterned paper on the inside and some heart paper on the outside. The heart was cut using my Cricut and hangs over the edge of the front but is even with the backside.

The sentiment was stamped in Staz-On onto PTI Stamper's Select White cardstock. Then I colored them in using a blender pen and SU chalks. With the glittered bee wings, I love how this little image turned out! :)

This next card uses the same technique on the image. I used a punch to round the corners of the polka dot paper and just put a strip of glitter behind the image to make it pop. There's also dimensionals behind it so it stands up.

I think this simple little 3x3 is my favorite of the two. But I like them both a lot! On both cards, all the edges of the kraft were inked in Fresh snow.

Christmas! It's Almost Here!

Well, I guess we have a *little* bit longer until Christmas is here! But with all the christmas card and present ideas on all the blogs, I've just felt really inspired to get an early start on everything.

I made a couple of these little 3x3 cards to use as gift tags. The main image was colored using chalks and a blender pen. I stamped the background image in Versamark because I love the subtle look it gives the image!I think this is a great little card to include with any Christmas present. What do you think?

Short & Sweet

Here's another little 3x3 card that I made. I really wanted to use glitter somehow!

The edge of the heart was dipped into a glue pad and then into some Cararra Marble white glitter. It looks much cuter in person!

I love the blue button! It's one I found in my stash and it coordinates so well with the patterned paper!
And of course I had to use my Papertrey Ink Rustic Twine! I love that stuff! I also stamped the main "my friend" image with Versamark. I'm loving that look right now.
Thanks for stopping by and checking things out. Leave a comment or something so I know that *someone* besides me is reading this thing! Ha :)

Little Card, Little Post

This is just a quick little 3x3 card that I whipped out while sitting at my craft table chatting with my husband.
I really love this patterned paper. I got a whole pack of different styles at a Tuesday Morning store for really cheap.

This is my first time trying faux suede. I love how it turned out!
