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?
