CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #22–Mini Cards!

Hola Peeps!

 

Welp, you’ve done it again, people – you all blew us away with your beautiful fall paper piecing projects.  Oh my!!  It’s so much fun to see how you all interpret these challenges – so much amazing innovation and thinking outside the box!

 

This week’s CAS-ual Fridays challenge will no doubt bring out some delicious designs, as well.  To play with us this week, you’ll need to create a clean and simple mini card (or cards) design that’s 4” x 4” or smaller.  Fun, right?!!

This week’s sponsor is AnnabelleStamps.com, a super fun online Australian stamp company.  I believe that AnnabelleStamps.com has provided a yummo-licious prize package for this week’s TGIF winner, but you’ll have to pop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog to find out what it is.  While you’re there, be sure and check out all the other fantasmic inspiration from the other Girl Fridays.

This challenge was so much fun for me!  I had recently purchased the most delicious Mehndi-type stamps from Impress Rubber Stamps.  Then I came across this photo on Pinterest (click on the photo to be taken to the original post).  My mind exploded!!  Amazing, right?!  So I chose some of my fave colored cardstock and coordinated some bright colored embossing powder and away I went!  The sentiments are from a couple of the Mat Stack sets.  This card set was super easy, and came together instantly – it’s so nice to have card sets like this around for those times when you just want to send a cute little note along with a gift.
