Mini Cards
Robbie Herring
I must say that I've honestly never thought about making mini-cards, but I loved this idea! I also decided to make mine quick and easy! Using the Noteworthy pieces and one piece of Double Dot cardstock made these go together super fast!
 This one is a bit of a different size. It's 4 x 2 1/2". I did it the same way as the other one with a bit of different placement. The center layer of the flower is punched from the Double Dot and the top layer is also from the Noteworthy package. I cut some slits between the petals to make it more dimensional. 
This last card comes in the largest at 3 3/4 by 4 1/4. Instead of using ribbon to tie it together, 
the brad can be attached through the back to do that duty. 
The eyelet on the front of the card, goes through the layers of the flower, too. 
Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper: Coffee Vintage Dot
Noteworthy: Serenade
Brads: Serenade
Petals: Serenade

Tip: To really speed up the process on these cards.

1. Cut all the cardstock backs to the sizes named.
2. Pre-punch 6 leaves and 2 flowers. 
3. Distress all pieces of cardstock, Noteworthy pieces and leaves. 
Use the end of a pencil to scrunch up your flowers a bit for added dimension.
4. Add eyelets to all six punched holes. (Punch holes all together by holding the cards closed.)
Don't forget to punch through the layered flower on the 3rd card.
5. Attach ribbon, as shown.
6. Glue down flowers on the first two cards and add the brad to the last one. 
Ribbon: Licorice, Olive and Buttercup

 I made my minis using "leftovers" from my Bo Bunny stash! 
Reasons to create mini cards:
1. It's a great way to utilise every bit of Bo bunny goodness and of course.... there is NO waste 
2. They are quick and fun to make
3. Who doesn't love a homemade thank you card?
 This photo is just to show a size comparison(mini vs an average sized card)
 This card measures 3"high x 4" wide.
This card measures 4 3/4" high and 3" wide.

Supplies Used:

Card Kits: Ambrosia, Vicki B
Double Dot Cardstock: Violet Dot
Chipboard: Garden Girl 12" Chipboard
Jewels: Garden Girl
Double Dot Ribbon: 3/8" Turquoise

Garden Girl Mini Album

Hi everyone Carin here today and I am going to share with you a mini album I have done using the beautiful Garden Girl Mini Album!  This is such a cute album with beautiful pictures and little cut outs on a couple of the pages that you can take out, leave in, cover in paper, paint, glitter or ink depending on what you like.  They are such a fun addition!



 I removed the cut outs on this page and used one of them on the opposite page.


 I added a flap for extra photos and journaling.



I added an extra page to the mini book by using a matching 6x12 inch piece of paper folded in half and then sealed along the bottom to make a pocket to add extra photos and journaling tags.


  On this page I took the cut outs out inked the edges of both sides, misted the larger butterfly and then put them back in with a little glue on the edges to keep them in place.



 Here I added another folded page with extra space for photos and journaling tags.


Supplies used:
Mini Edgy Album : Garden Girl
Patterned Paper : Dot, Garden Girl, Ivy, Magical, Stripe, Bines, Wisteria, Cut Outs/ Garden Girl
Cardstock : Coordinating Double Dot in Clover Dot, Poppy Dot, Coffee Dot and Grape Journal
Chipboard : Garden Girl
Stickers : Dimensional Stickers, 12" combo Sticker/Garden Girl
Noteworthy : Garden Girl
Trinkets : Garden Girl
Stamps : Timepiece; Gabrielle
Brads : Garden Girl
Jewels : Garden Girl
Ribbon: Coordinating double dot in Decaf, Kiwi, Concord

Tip : If you are decorating a mini album then the Cut Outs in each of the paper ranges are perfect to use, I used the Garden Girl Cut Outs paper on most pages in my mini!

I hope you liked my album today, I thoroughly enjoyed decorating it and if you have made any mini albums with Bo Bunny please share them with us on our Facebook page, we would love to see them!
