Small 3×3 cards are fun to give but don’t provide a lot of room to write on the inside. So today’s idea shares how to stretch that inside space AND shows off the fun Zoo Crew Suite of products that is now available in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-24 Annual Catalog.
I made six of these mini stretch cards so I could share several of the adorable images from the designer papers, stamps and dies. I’m sharing three of them today and three more on Monday (in my next post).
Each card fits into a 3×3 envelope and would brighten a child’s day. These size cards are ideal on top of a gift, placed in a lunch bag as a surprise note, in a child’s room on their desk or night stand, etc.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for each card
- Base Cardstock (Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, or Pool Party)
- 3″ x 9″ scored parallel to short side at 3″ and 6″
- Zoo Crew Designer Paper
- Animal that is die-cut or cut with a scissors (one or two)
- Basic White Cardstock
- 2-3/4” x 2-3/4” (one or two)
- Other Cardstock (Lemon Lolly, Basic Black, Lemon Lime Twist, and/or Pool Party)
- Scraps for die-cutting accent images
- Duo Ribbon Combo Pack
- about 9″ of the Lemon Lime color
I paired these cards with the sentiments from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set for a bit more versatility.
Directions
- Die-cut the animal image/s and coordinating shapes
- Position images and cardstock layers onto opened card base. Stamp sentiments and/or other images.
- Adhere using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and/or Dimensionals.
- Embellish with ribbon, pearls, etc.
Thanks for stopping by! Remember to come back in a couple days to see 3 more of these fun cards.
