On a roll with mini cards




I have been really slack with my blog of late but I intend to make up for this soon. Although I haven't been blogging I have been busy making things to sell at my market stall and Pop Up Parramatta which is a really exciting artistic venture that has been set up in my local area. The way Pop Up works is that empty shop spaces are rented out to local artists for $25 a week, this rental goes on till the shop is actually leased again for commercial purposes. I have my work for sale on an ongoing basis at  two of Pop Up's shops which is keeping me very busy, I am at last getting used to working with deadlines.  I have also made some lovely new artistic friends through this program and have also started volunteering  at one of  Pop Up's shops, I am really enjoying being part of Pop Up and so happy that it's all so close to home.

I have always loved mini cards but until now haven't really had a go at making them. They are so simple and fun to make and I look forward to making many more. For these cards I printed out the pink flower scene several times and added different sentiments to the scene. I printed out the pattern on my PC and added the punched out flowers and bling to finish off. I added some of the flowers onto the card with adhesive dimensional foam to add some dimension to the cards.

The challenges I have included-
Mini cards-CAS-ual Fridays
Anything goes in the link party-Make It Monday
Anything goes in the link party-Passionately artistic
Anything goes-Crafty ribbons challenge
Dies and punches-PaperPlay Challenges
Anything goes-Creatalicious Challenges

Sounds like a wonderful venture.What a great idea to use the empty stores, at least then the owners will have some rent coming in.

Hey!

What a great cute little cards.

What's the size (in cm) are those cards? I really like them!
Want to make a few for christmas, for my friends!
I just say, it's maybe small, but it comes out of my heart. Am I right?

Best wishes from the Netherlands
