Mini Cards

This was my first try at making mini cards….. My great twitter friend Sarah Martina was kind enough to tell me how to trim a 8.5×11 piece of cardstock into three 3.5″ mini cards. (Now the question arises, what to do about envelopes… Anyone?? Anyone??, LOL).  I stamped the sentiment on the inside:

Even though I already participated in this week’s EBTKS challenge, I wanted to do it again because I love buttons!  I admit. I had a HARD time trying to do a french knot for the little birdie’s eyes. I watched this youtube tutorial over and over again… It looked quite easy, but nope… Couldn’t do it.   I tried and said FORGET this and just tied a regular old knot three times over. I think it worked!!! I also had quite a time photographing these cards that showed the embossed background.  In case you don’t see it, the card is embossed in swiss dots! I saw the latest color challenge by Color Throwdown and wanted to give it a whirl. I hope you like the mini cards.

Hmmm.. My husband is asleep next to me, my son is watching cartoons, it is 6:30 and I have not given any thought as to what to do for dinner. I am thinking cereal or take out! How lame am I!!! Have a great night!!!
