There was a chance for me to have a stint in my little craft pod today.. .. .. and below is one of the creations I made. A whole 9cm square, these little cards are popular with customers and recipients alike. I usually just add a blank insert inside so that they can be used for a variety of occasions. Some have sentiments on the front but not all.
I find it surprising how many folk like the teeny tiny cards, and when I query why they invariably say "because they are just so cute and small and get to stand in front of any other cards" people might receive. Some folk attach them to gifts they are giving instead of a label.
This used:
Image: Artcult .. .. a great source of images, but sadly I can no longer see the one I used here in the store - it was called Sweet Bird Cages. I can see it as a collection of circular images but no longer a square set. (They re-size beautifully too).

I must admit I don't really like to see birds in cages .. .. in real life or in pictures .. .. but this one looks like he has a little escape hatch so he is free to fly to his hearts content .. .. which I feel all birds should be able to do .. .. otherwise what is the point of having wings?!?!?!?
Hopefully catch you again soon.

This is pretty, and I agree, much prefer to see birds free to fly, and don’t we all love bird song. Also agree time flies too! xxx
A beautiful vintage card with the beautiful papers and image
Lovely card as always Jules, beautiful pale pink and the lace adds to the overall look. Like you I think birds should be free to fly and don't think they should be in cages but on a card its acceptable.
Lovely vintage feel to this sweet little card and your bird certainly looks as if he's free to fly should he so wish. Weeks always seemed longer when I was at school too 😉.
A lovely teeny tiny card.
