My SWEET friend Carol has been inspiring me like crazy! Always one to try a new technique, take on any challenge (including making a million Valentine's cards for her sister-in-law), and coming up with the most ADORABLE little numbers! One thing that I haven't done a lot of (possibly ever!) are mini cards. And Carol makes the sweetest mini card/envelope sets ever! So I thought I'd try my hand at it. I made a set of four thank you minis with matching envies, with two products in mind: my Basic Grey Persimmon pad and my Paper Smooches Stamps. I used the Persimmon because it's one of five paper pads I have that I need to stop hoarding and start using! And I used my PS stamps because I wanted to play along again this week with the PS Sparks Anything Goes Challenge.
Here are the four:
The envelopes were created with my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. Best thing ever!
Thank you SO much, Carol for always inspiring me!
Hope you have an awesome day!
Shannon
Oh my, first you have me blushing with the shout out, and second: OMGORGEOUS! How utterly, completely and totally A-DOR-A-BLE and AHHH-MAZING are your minis! Mine don't hold a candle to these cutie-patooties! The cards are darling with their various PS images (see...aren't dies awesome!) and the matching envelopes are *the* perfect special touch. I still haven't opened my envelope maker - that will come after the Valentine-a-thon! I love these x 100000000!! Honestly, Shannon, YOU are the one who takes on the new challenges, with results that are beyond outstanding! I'm delighted and honoured to have inspired you, but YOU have quadruply inspired me to get the show on the road with 'more' minis soon. Mini Mania ROCKS!!! You've made my day...my week...my month sparkle (again!! ). Oh yes, 'real note' coming soon! Hugs x hugs!! ~ c.(going back to gaze and admire for a while longer...they are sooooo stinkin' cute.
