Hi Everyone
Happy Friday!
Today I decided I would satisfy my never ending "compulsion to do something crafty" by making a couple of teeny tiny cards .. .. which for anyone new to my blog measure a whole 9cm square.
These are what my little crafty session produced
Firstly a birthday card .. .. ..
This used:

Frame: MFT-926 Stitch Round Square Frame
Distress Oxide Inks: Evergreen Bough, Iced Spruce and Broken China
Ribbon
Papers and card from snippet mountain

and then a Christmas card to help with that new year resolution I rashly made to produce a Festive card every week. My 2024 Christmas card total is now 13! .. .. woo hoo!!
and this used:
Stampin Up! Die Set: Hearts Come Home
Sentiment: LOTV Christmas Sentiment Tags
Frame: MFT-926 Stitch Round Square Frame
Card and Papers from Snippet Mountain
Die Cut Snowflake
Ribbon

My crafty supplies are "very slowly" starting to get packed away (but to be totally honest every other room in the house is much further forward .. .. including the kitchen!!) Note my order of importance .. .. .. yes .. .. .. I can go without kitchen supplies much more easily than I can cope without crafting goodies LOL!!!).
Mr Heart is becoming aware of just how many snippets I have actually accumulated over the years .. .. .. most of which I blame on years of wedding work which have resulted in mountains of offcuts that I could never bring myself to part with .. .. just in case! LOL!!!. After all a placename card doesn't need much card at all does it!
Wedding invitations invariably had RSVP cards and a small envelope for returning it, so I have been turning some of the offcuts into card blanks that will fit into the last of the small envelopes that are still in my collection, and I am passing these to a local charity store. They make up little craft packs which they sell out of as quickly as they make them. They have also gained quite a lot from "snippet mountain" for adding into the packs .. .. because lets face it .. .. .. we never run out of them do we? I am sure they breed whilst we are asleep.
Last time we did a drop off to them they showed me the craft packs they had been putting together in their "crafty corner" .. .. they looked lovely .. .. but I resisted the temptation to buy one! LOL!!!
Anyway, catch you soon with my new sketch for this week. Be good until then!

The colours and design layout in your first card is beautiful,love the Christmas version of the layout too
I’m with you on the kitchen versus craft room. How lovely to have a charity shop invested in selling craft stuff in that way. Whenever I look in our local ones, it’s all just chucked in a corner, and a wonder any of it sells, crumpled and dog eared. Anyway, beautiful cards as always, and I’m getting better at finding the heart. Just tell the Mr that the more care you taking packing and sorting, the less there’ll be at the other end. Xxx
Two super cards, Jules. So much detail in a tiny space. I’ve just been scrolling through all your recent posts I’ve missed. I’m not sure why they haven’t been appearing on my reading list. Lots of beautiful creations.

Fab little cards Jules. I have that frame die and never use it, but your cards have inspired me especially the lovely Christmas card. Have a good weekend x
Totally love these 2 teeny tiny cards. Well done for making a start on packing up your craft room x
So adorably cute! Loving the colours and the glitter. I chuckled at your comment about being tempted to buy a craft pack....I think we've all been there. (:
A gorgeous pair of teen tinies. You are to be admired for your resistance. I know how loud those craft packs can shout!! xx
Both these cards are just perfect. Good luck with the rest of your packing xx
These are both beautiful Jukes and so dinky! I love them both but am particularly struck by the beauty of the Christmas scene - fab! Not sure how I have gotten so far behind in commenting on your blog!!
