~Very Punny Minis~
March 9th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Today’s Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers.com is ParisOtremba. You can check out her gallery here. I have to admit, I was not familiar with Paris’ work, but a trip through her gallery and I was so inspired! Really beautiful gallery, Paris.
I have to say I’m on a mini kick right now.. I apologize to those that aren’t into them. I chose this little group of cards by Paris to case. I really loved the simple layout.. and I stuck to it pretty well. I did use the same set as I just liked the way they fit so nicely on these little cards. I changed DP, cuttled the added layer, added brads, changed the ribbon treatment and used a scallop circle instead of a square.
I’m going to make a box for these, you gotta know that! LOL
It’s pretty WHITE where we are this morning. The snow has fallen steady for the last day and a half. We are at about 10″, but some areas around here have up to 2 feet! I’m pretty house bound, but with the studio calling……… 🙂
Here’s my deets:
Stamps: Very Punny by Stampin’ UP!
Colors: Brocade Blue, GP White, Rebecca DPs (retired)

TFL!~ and have a blessed day.
These are darling 🙂 Love that CB BG.
Sorry to hear about all the snow. I’m glad we are on the West Coast and snow is a thing of the past. The crocuses are up and tulips are sprouting out of the ground — sorry, this probably isn’t helping!! Mind you, getting lots of snow does give one the perfect reason to stamp! I, on the other hand, have to burn my 7 year old son out as his energy level is too high right now and he is driving us all crazy. Think it will be a trip to the field to kick a soccer ball around or a walk for us and a scooter ride for the kids! Oh to have their energy in my body!!
They are so sweet! 🙂
Sorry about the snow – we never, ever, ever get snow here (Australia) so I can’t even imagine what it’s like.
Thanks Holly for the lovely comment about my challenge card on SCS! Made my day!! 🙂
I love these Holly — especially the fact that they’re small. I think they’re the perfect antidote when one is having a hard time figuring out how to fill up all the space on a big card. Don’t! Just make the card smaller. 🙂
Stay warm!
Holly, I am new to this page and absolutely love your creativity. I am also a new Cricut owner-just getting started. In one of your posts you said to make the oval scallop you used the Cricut and just “stretched it a tiny bit.”
Question: How do you stretch something with a Cricut? Thank you. Can’t wait to see more of your work!
