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.

This project would have taken me at least 2 hours! I don't know how you do it! These note cards are gorgeous, Faith and I continue to lift up your mom in prayers. She is blessed to have such a supportive daughter. Hugs!
