Hi there!
I had not heard of Mini Moo cards until I ventured over to see what The Little Things Challenge was all about.
In the Permitted Projects section of The Little Things Challenge, Mini Moo cards are said to measure 28mm x 70mm (1.1” x 2.75”) and were originally tiny business cards . . . but crafters have adopted them!
SO . . . I went ahead and made one, using up a few smaller snippets in the process.

| My first Mini Moo card |
Materials:
- White snippet of card measuring 28mm x 70mm
- Striped Washi tape by Funky Fossil.
- Unbranded flower die from Amazon, coloured with a pink Posca pen and Shabby Shutters DI.
- Grungy “flourish” word from the Spread A Little Happiness set (#628) by Aall & Create
I had so much fun making the first Mini Moo that pretty soon there were THREE!!!
Are you wondering what I will do with such tiny things? Well, as I'm primarily a card maker, I mounted the original panel onto card snippets and glued them to card fronts . . . wanna see?
Here you go:

They could also be used as small tags if you punched a hole in the top and added twine; or put into the pockets of your junk journal, or even a teeny tiny bookmark!
Mini Moos are new to me also - I love the ones you've made and popping them onto cards as toppers seems like the ideal use for them. I'm not sure what else they could be used for - possibly small bookmarks? Always good to see something different.
ReplyDeleteRecently a Tag entrant asked me about Mini Moo and confess I'd never heard of them. All three so pretty and now have useful purposes as well, well done you.

Very pretty, cute and funky selection Sarn, and they look fabulous matted onto plain card fronts. Xx
ReplyDeleteI've made mini moos in the past but not for ages ... maybe this will be a "return to" reminder - thank you, yours are glorious matey

I have heard of them but never made any, thank you for the inspiration. These look brilliant and make perfect CAS card toppers and another great idea for using snippets.

Love your mini moos, they are so sweet, and look fab on the cards xxx
ReplyDeleteSo cute and very useful toppers too, xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun introduction to Mini Moos, and yours make the format shine. The crisp washi stripes, the softly colored flower, and that grungy sentiment create a great mix of clean and artsy. Mounting them onto A6 card fronts works beautifully, giving those tiny panels real presence. I also love your ideas for using them as tags or journal inserts — they feel like the perfect little creative spark.
ReplyDeleteYour Mini Moos are fabulous, Sarn. Great idea to mount them on cards.
