Last week you saw the funky Kaleidoscope Love Notes Folder I had fun making for a workshop. I love these little folders and it reminded me that I had another one I made around Christmas time, inspired by the colours and layout of some Christmas cards in Stamping & Papercraft magazine, vol 15 no 6 by the talented Carol Dunstan. I didn't have the same stamps used in that article, but I was able to create a miniature version using love notes and a smaller but similar stamp.
The berries from the adorable Stampin' Up! set "Le Jardin Botanique" are inked up using Stampin' Write Markers in Rose Red, Real Red, Old Olive and Always Artichoke. I added some greetings from the very versatile greeting set, "Many Merry Messages", similarly inspired by Carol's cards, and again inked with markers so I can just stamp part of the message, not the whole greeting. These punch out beautifully with the Word Window Punch.
These are sweet little cards, and in the Love Note Holder make a gorgeous gift for a teacher or work-mate. And because they are so small, they are really quick to make, and great for using up scraps.
