May Arts Ribbonista Valentine Hop  - Mini Valentine Cards


Hi, welcome to Alabaster Owl and the May Arts blog hop.  The giveaway for this Valentine Hop is 4 spools of fabulous May Arts ribbon!  Winner's choice!  Just leave a comment on any stop along the way!




Mini cards are fun quick and cute little bits of happy.  For these cards I found cute stickers,

 matted them on patterned paper  and hand cut with pinking sheers for a jagged edge. 

 for dimension I used tape squares and adhered the card front to grid paper with rounded edges.

  With my fabritac i glued on my favorite velvet ribbon, two pieces crossing to mimic the grid paper.  


That is it!  Easy, quick and fun!  


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my cards and you get a chance to create something soon!!  It is good for the soul!

    Love that these can be made in multiples without tons of time. Adding the ribbon ties it all together.

    I like that they are so simple. I tend to go overboard. I need to learn to KISS.
