Using More Scraps to Make Tiny Cards


I decided to use up some more scraps I had laying around from recent projects and also use some cute stickers by EK Success from their Sticko line that I've had in my stash for a little while and haven't used.

The polka dot card started with a scrap of Echo Park paper from their Summer Days collection.  I cut it down to 2 and 1/4 square.  The blue layer is 2 and 3/4 square and the card base is 3 inches square when folded.  I used the dots on the paper as my guideline for where to place my cute little stickers.  I think the effect is really fun.

The little squirrel card is 3 and 1/4 wide by 2 and 3/4 tall when folded.  The Thinking of You stamp is from Stampin' Up's Sincere Salutations.  The paper along the bottom is from Stampin up and has a pattern of leaves on it.  I used the Martha Stewart grass punch on it.  The top corners are rounded using a 1/4 inch setting on my Corner Chomper.  I added some stitching lines with a white gel pen and a purple Stampin' Up marker.

It feels great to be able to whip up such cute little mini cards quickly and minimize waste at the same time.

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Adorable! I hope to make a bunch of tiny cards and then once in a while, slip them into my future hubby's bag or coat pocket so that he can find it at work :) I have so many inside jokes with my fiance that it'll give me more options of what kinds of images I can use. Thanks for this idea!
