Mr Cardmaker is Mini to the Max

There's something just too sweet about a mini card. I'm talking the little, bitty, 3" enclosure cards that are perfect for sticking in with gifts and such. I find them to be the most wonderful way to express yourself in miniature...

I made these a while ago, and never shared them--

Are these CUTE or what?
Wait, look closer--

Such a HAPPY little thing. I am SURE these got started from me trimming some stamped cardstock with that woodgrain on it. It can only go crazy from there!
The yellow houndstooth is such a fave of mine, as is the button being "threaded" with a tiny sliver of cardstock. Much easier to find the button's holes than with thread!

I moved the sentiment (and tiny hearts) around a bit on each of them--



I like staying close to a primary color scheme here, even though some green does sneak in. Primary colors used his way says "happy" to me, rather that juvenile, the way primaries can easily be pigeon-holed.

Thanks for letting me share my teensy bits of fun!

Thanks for stopping by!
All Best--
Richard

    Very cute - crisp and clean - they remind me of a bunch of vegetables.

    Well these are just the cutest little cards Richard! I love the collage look they have! And thanks so much for your nice comments on my blog! As for a tutorial on my clay ornaments. I have never done one. I haven't the time right now, buy perhaps in the future :)

    It's the little touches and flourishes that make life grand.

    Oh heck yes! This are amazing! The bit of vellum is what jumps at me. I love the bright colors and the stamping on the pattern paper! Wonderful!
