Today’s Waltzingmouse sketch challenge is to create mini cards. How fun is that? As inspiration for my cards I used this Tuesday’s Trigger challenge.
I LOVED the color combo and composition of the piece and kept it all. My cards are tiny 3″ x 3″ cards. They were created out of 3″ x 6″ Solar White cardstock folded in half.
I started by stamping a label from Very Vintage Label No. 4 in Broken China Distress Ink. I stamped a different sentiment into the frame of each card with the same ink. All sentiments are from the Fancy Phrases set.
The border stamp from Victorian Frippery was stamped in Spiced Marmelade on the right edge of the cards. The left side of the card was embossed with the Damask Embossing Folder.
After making the cards I decided to make a matching note card tote, following this tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. It’s simple and almost like the cards. I did use a bigger frame from the Very Vintage Label set and added a little scroll on the top and bottom of the sentiment.
The top corners of the box were punched with the Crop-a-Dile Cloud Chomper. The handle is a 3 /4″ x 8″ piece of Pumpkin pie. It was adhered to the outside of the box with silver brads. This way you can move the handle back while adding the cards into the box (this cool hint was posted under the video tutorial).
Here is a video (with a different box that I will share later) for the visual learner:

Beate, so adorable. I love the colors you used. I’m always afraid of orange color, but now I know what I can combined it with. What paper brand is that pumpkin pie color from? Thank you for sharing. ;0)
