Unity FWF - Itty Bitty Baby Cards

Good morning! I got super inspired a couple days ago by the Make an Itty Bitty Card Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World - I ended up making 3 different sets! But since today is Friday, and Unity Friends with Flair, I'm sharing these first since I used my Unity Stamps on this set! These are all about 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches square:
I started off by taking some 6x6 papers from a My Mind's Eye paper pad, scoring and folding in half, then positioning a Spellbinders Die so that it overlapped the fold in the paper. I ran it through my Cuttlebug a couple of times - to make sure it cut through both layers successfully. It worked out great, because it also embossed the top layer automatically! 
I couldn't make just one - so I made three! One for a girl, one for a boy, and one gender neutral yellow. I stamped the Unity Itty Bitty "SO happy FOR YOU" image and sentiment on the front of each, then added a bit of bling on each of the hearts. 
Wrapped some ivory jute twine around a few times, tied in a bow, and attached a coordinating button on each one.
These are actually the perfect size to use as gift tags - so I will probably keep them in my stash for that purpose. They are SOOOO cute and tiny! Makes me happy to look at them - so perfect for a baby gift when you want something tiny!

Anyway - hope you are having a wonderful Friday! Have a blessed and wonderful weekend!
