Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Mini Love Notes for Any Occasion

Hello crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you, and today I wanted to share some inspiration for using the Doodlebug French Kiss collection to make adorable (and easy!), mini love notes!

These mini notes are perfect for many occasions! Some ways I think would be perfect to use them are:
- Put into your kid’s or grandkid’s lunch box with a little note written inside.
- Tucking money or a gift card into for a sweet surprise.
- Leave on someone’s desk as a thinking of you note.
- Give as Valentines.
These are simple to create which means even kids can put these together!


Each of these cards feature the versatile, Petal Envelope die (a Simon exclusive!) This clever die has four tabs that can either be tucked into each other for a petal effect (and stays closed on its own!) or tied closed with some cute twine or ribbon. I used both techniques for these cards.



I even decorated White Mini Envelopes to match some of my cute notes! Once folded, the petal envelope fits inside the mini envelopes perfectly (and looks so adorable!). The new French Kiss washi tapes can be used to close the flaps of the envelopes; the border stickers in the 12×12 paper collection also look cute on the envelopes!


Be sure to check out the video below to see how I put these cuties together! I hope they inspire you to make some sweet mini notes of your own. They are so much fun to create, and even
