A mess of 3" x 3" cards...

I love 3x3 cards.  They're perfect to go on a package or in a bag.  A set makes a good gift all it's own as well.  Here are some 3x3 cards to inspire you:

Babies - girl and boy

Elegant wedding cards

Boy and girl birthday cards in coordinating colors

Manly cards using the best ever Guy Greetings stamp set

Feminine cards using the Flower Patch stamp set and masking

Cards for kids...

Some adorable cards for the children in your life:

This is a quick and cute card and a great way to use up those DSP scraps!  

"Toadally Awesome" - get it, get it?   

An Etch a Sketch card using the Boys Will Be Boys set (retired).  Inside was cut with the PL Cards & Labels Framelits. 

A window card using the No Bone About It set - one of my favs!

With the card open - too cool!

This was my favorite from the class.  

A spiral pop up card is sure to get an "oooooh,...awwwwwe..."  

Cards for boys...

I have two cards for boys to share with you today.  The first one is for a younger boy.  I love dinosaurs, Jurassic Park movies, etc., so I really enjoyed coming up with this card.  It features the No Bones About It photopolymer stamp set.

Colors used: Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Tip Top Taupe and Whisper White.  This is a great use of some of the 18 stamps in this set.  I also used a bit of the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack.  Who would love getting this card?  Me!!!

Our second card today is more for a teen and features a Pokemon ball.  No, most adults don't really get it, but trust me, the kids do.

I had shown this to my youngest and it was her favorite (she's 18).  I had her help me think of words to go with the card and she picked out "adventure bound".  The story is about a boy going on a Pokemon adventure, so it fits perfectly.  The inside of the card says "life is good - happy birthday".  I used the 2-1/2", 3/4", 1/2" and Owl Builder Punch to make all the circles.  I used the Simply Scored Tool to make the raised lines on the White card stock.  The words are from the Project Life Remember This stamp set.  That's one of my favorite PL items.

No Bones About It and Age Awareness...

Today's project is a fun card that's perfect for some of your funny, sarcastic friends.  I love to make cards that have a little humor in them, so this is perfect.

I used the No bones about It stamp set for the dinosaur image.  This is a great set because it comes with solid dinosaurs and coordinated bones, along with several sayings and other stamps.  I used the Age Awareness set to add some snarkiness to the card.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Everyday Chick pack.  

Here's the inside- too funny!
