Lawn Fawn makes such sweet stamps, and they are perfect for the little one's cards. I was so inspired by this Lawnscaping Challenge #80, which is all about the minis. It didn't take long for me to come up with three little cards for three special little people.
This first one is for the big brother:
Love how this one turned out! Measuring 3x3, the base is a scrap of cardstock, but come to think of it, all the paper is from my scrapbox! I used LF dies to make the clouds, and the sun (it's two stars glued together), and only LF stamps. A red Copic for our flying friend, and some Jeni Bowlin ink. Oh, and one SC brilliant yellow sequin on the sun.
Next up is for the middle child:
I'm pretty sure she'll get a kick out of this. It's also mini, about a 3.5" circle card. The double sided dp is from Pink Paiselee. Not sure what the green base is, sorry. All LF stamps. SU black ink, and a couple of copics to make lemon meringue pie. I masked and combined a couple of stamps to make the "sweetie". I cut the card shape, and the scalloped circles with my Cameo. Popped up the pie and the whipped cream has some Wink of Stella on it, but as you all know, it doesn't photograph well.
Lastly, is for the baby of this family. She's 2 1/2, and I have to tell you how sweet and smart she is! She's memorized John 3:16, and mommy got it on video, which she posted to FB. Made tears well up in my eyes. Don't know who I'm more proud of, Miss Girl, or her faithful parents. (Giving silent thanks here) So, in order to jot a bit of something inside, and get them ready for the mail, I'm going to run after you see her card.
All I did for this card, was to use LF's Quinn's ABCs, stamped in MME Smoke ink, then colored them with various Copics. One little popped up sticker from K & Co. Other than the Neenah white base and panel, that's it. Happy dances everyone!

These cards are so sweet and I'm sure the kids will love them, Bev. I used to do this when my grand kids were younger.
Hi Bev, I so hear you when you say you miss the grandkids. I miss them as soon as they leave,takes me awhile to get out of the heavy heart.
Well I know they are going to love all the lawn fawn cards you made. So adorable. Sounds like a wonderful day planed. Drive safely!
Bev what fantastic cards you have made for your grandchildren. I really understand how hard it must be for you to not see them all the time.
Such cute cards! I love that they were made with particular grandchildren in mind. I can certainly relate to missing family far away...wouldn't it be wonderful if we were only a hop, skip, and a jump away from all our loved ones?
These mini-cards are just so adorably SWEET! They made me smile. What a thoughtful grandma you are! Your grandchildren will enjoy receiving these!
Family means so much to me. I also wish I lived closer to my family, so that I could see them more often.
Happy crafting!
Bev, you have the sweetest soul on the planet. I always love reading your posts and this one brought a few tears to my eyes. I love reading about your family and your love for each and everyone of them. Your cards show that special love you have for them too, so sweet.
Kim is right! You are the sweetest, kindest, talented and most considerate soul on this planet! Can you imagine how excited the kidlets will be when these arrive in the mail? Definitely fabulously sweet Happy Mail! I love your 'star sun'....great idea! The pink gingham & the watermelon paper - a perfect pair and little Kalin's name paired with the sweet heart - perfect!
Not sure who will be more excited when these arrive....the kids or mom & dad!

These seem just perfect for each grandchild. Isn't this why cardmaking is such a special thing to do? We love the crafting and we can tailor it to the recipient, then they feel so special when they get it!
John 3:16 - wow! Have a wonderful trip to visit the other grandkids!
