Mini Love Notes
by Erika
Remember how everything is so much cuter in the mini version? Well, the same is true for love notes.
My husband and I are doing the long distance relationship thing right now as he is doing medical school rotations all around the country. And as “fun” as it sounds to take 2 kids and travel with him we decided to stay put and just visit as often as we could. {And a huge applause to those of you that do the long distance thing because, man, is it hard!}
I know my husband gets lonely at times and misses us, so I decided to make him a set of mini-love notes to open at times he is needing a pick-me-up. You could even do it as a countdown – open one each day until he comes home. These are so easy to make and I guarantee you have the supplies on hand – paper and glue!
Supplies Needed:
*Paper
*Cardstock
*Glue
*Pen

Erika!!! I love this!!! I have made little note books with normal ole’ store bought envelopes in the past and I have been trying to think of a cute way to improve my idea. You, cute girl, have come up with the best idea ever!!! I’m stealing this for all my future secret love notes! Love, love, love!!! xox <3
Oh I love your idea! I’ll have to try that.
I’m obsessed with this idea! I am SO doing this for my hubby sometime!
Thanks!
Loved this idea, my friend is at basic training. So I used this idea to send him some letters. I hope he has the best looking letters there
Such a fun idea- will definitely be doing this in the future!
These are just too darling, Erika! I agree! Everything IS cuter… mini! lol XOXO
Do you have a template for the envelopes? If not…how big are the hearts that you used? I am really excited to make these! Thanks!!!
I don’t have a template, Dani. I just free handed it! But I would say my hearts were about 3 inches tall and 4 inches wide? I made a few hearts until I found a size I liked and then I used that as my template and traced a bunch. Good luck!
I just made these for my boyfriend who is on the road 90% of the time, thanks for the great idea!
I made 6 envelopes about your size and 2 bigger ones that I put in the middle. I did a couple cute notes, one stamp to write me, dinosaur confetti(inside joke), and a couple temporary tattoos with instructions in each envelope! can’t wait to get pictures each time he opens one!
I just made this as an anniversary present and it was a total success!! Thank you so much for a cute, creative present!
I tried to find a bunch of different types of hearts and none turn out this good. What did you use to make your hearts?
I just read the others. haha. Maybe your could trace it and scan it to here? that would be most helpful. I love creative ideas but my drawing skills are reall bad
