Hello, it’s Gaylynn. For this project, I am showing how to make a set of 3″ x 3″ mini note cards with envelopes. These four were made cute using snail stamping and colored pencils.
Additionally, these can be used as mini note cards or gift tags. I made a little gift set with cards and envelopes tied together with tulle.
Sentiments:
I pretty much adore you.
Sorry, I’m a little late.
Keep on moving.
Thanks slow much.
Optional, a gift set presentation idea is below.
Helpful tips:
In summary, to make these mini note cards with envelopes, begin by stamping everything onto a large piece of kraft color cardstock. I used a Misti stamping tool and stamped them in dark green. Then, color the snails and accents using colored pencils. Next, die-cut or trim the stamping into squares approximately 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ or a bit smaller than the card base. Then, cut four card bases 6″ x 3″ in white. Score them at 3″ and fold to create 3″ x 3″ mini cards. Finally, adhere the stamping onto the card bases using flat double-sided tape or glue. Optional, pair them with 3″ x 3″ mini envelopes and tie them together with tulle, for gift giving.
Here is a look at the stamping.
And, this is the coloring process before they were die-cut.
Finally, a look at the cards a bit closer.
