Welcome to my Thursday!

Oh!  I really loved Julia’s Ways to use It challenge this morning!  I like mini things :)   I really went all out.  I made 2 mini cards and a mini wallet to hold them. 

Here’s what’s mini…. I used a ‘mini’ set from Joann’s $1 spot, I used mini brads and mini ribbon.   I can’t claim the wallet as my idea…. I saw this wallet at Tracy’s (LodiChick) house the other night and since I adore everything Tracy creates, I decided to make one, too.  You can see hers on her blog here.  I didn’t get dimensions on hers,  so I just made them up to fit my 3 1/2 x 4 3/4″ cards. 

For the wallet, I took a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and cut it 5 3/4″ x 12″… I then scored the long side at 4″, 4 1/8″, 8 1/8″, 8 1/4″ and then fold.  Then I decorated the inside with some DP (Jersey Shore) and then decorated the outside to match the cards.

Here’s a picture of the inside:

  as you can see, there is room for a couple cards and a couple evelopes.  In retrospect, I might make it a little bigger next time as I used dimensionals on my cards and they are a tight squeeze :).

Here’s my deets:

Stamps:  Joann’s $1 spot mini set

Colors:  Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Bliss Blue, GP White, Jersey Shore DP

Ink:  Brilliance graphite black, copics

Accessories: mini brads, mini ribbon, dimensionals, scallop circle punches, sticky tape (1/4″)

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
