Hi! This Mini Card Tote and Mini Thank You Cards were made for today's Inspiration Challenge: Lovely Package. I chose the third one down called 18 Rabbits.
When I saw this package I thought of chocolate covered cherries! Then I thought of a tote for candy. That lead to a brown and cherry tote. That lead to cherry COLORED cards and a Chocolate tote! That's how I was inspired!
The entire project took about 25 minutes, and I'm giving them to my mother...Her name is FRANCES! That way, she can just jot down thank you notes for the ladies who come from Hospice. She's so proper, and these cards are the perfect size for a small one sentence Thank You! The finished bag measures 3 1/4" x 4". It started out as a 4 1/4" x 8 1/2". It was scored at 1/2" on the short sides.It was scored at 4" and 4 1/2" on the horizontal long side.It was then folded and clipped at the center little squares and taped together.The cards are 4" x 3". The designer papers are from K&Company. The flowers are Primas.

I'm with Speedy, Faith, I love them too!! At least I love what you've done with these scrumptious, chocolate/cherry mini cards for your mom. I love how quickly you can put something beautiful together as well. Speed is definitely NOT one of my defining characteristics!!

Beautiful! I love the colors brown and pink together. It is amazing to me how you created all this in only 25 minutes! Please tell me that your working area is a mess at least! That's where I spend my time- making a mess as I dig through stuff and not put them back.
