Short and Sweet

Sometimes, just a little note is all you need. I love making 3" x 3" note cards. Here are a couple that really caught my eye.
This little bird was originally done in blue, but hey, I come from Cardinal Nation, so of course I am going to make him red! He is made using the 1 3/4" circle punch and the Scallop punch, then popped up and sitting on the branches made from the bird punch. He is a very well-fed budgie! (I saw him on the demonstrator's sharing website and have misplaced the artist's name. When I find it I will certainly give her credit.)

This little cutie was designed by Jacqueline Nimrichter (blog: scrapsoflife). The little flower is simply made by punching several circles and crumbling them together, then held in the center by a designer brad.
