Set of 3" x 3" mini note cards with envelopes ~ Snails

 Hello.  I am showing how to make a set of 3" x 3" mini note cards with envelopes.  These four were made cute using snail stamping and colored pencils.

Sentiments:
I pretty much adore you.
Sorry, I'm a little late.
Keep on moving.
Thanks slow much.

 These can be used as mini note cards or gift tags.  I made a little gift set with cards and envelopes tied together with tulle.

Optional, a gift set presentation idea is below.

Helpful tips:

In summary, to make these mini note cards with envelopes, begin by stamping everything onto a large piece of kraft color cardstock.  I used a Misti stamping tool and stamped them in dark green.  Then, color the snails and accents using colored pencils.  Next, die-cut or trim the stamping into squares approximately 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" or a bit smaller than the card base.   Then, cut four card bases 6" x 3" in white.  Score them at 3" and fold to create 3" x 3" mini cards.  Finally, adhere the stamping onto the card bases using flat double-sided tape or glue.  Optional, pair them with 3" x 3" mini envelopes and tie them together with tulle, for gift giving.

Here is a look at the stamping.

And, this is the coloring before they were die-cut.

Finally, a look at the cards a bit closer.
