  • Christmas Mini Slimline

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A 1 layer mini slimline Christmas card made with a few dies & modern color combo. Change up the color combo to customize for everyone on your list, then die cut all the pieces. You’ll have a stack of easy to assemble cards in no time.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC935) & I chose In Honor of Design & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS to inspire me.

    My mini slimline card is pretty easy & clean & simple. I die cut the leaves & greeting out of heavy white & the holly berries & oak leaves out of red mirror card, then arranged them all as you see. Since my greeting die cuts are fairly large, placing them on an angle similar to my inspiration picture worked out great. Since it’s only one layer, it’s perfectly mailable w/o worrying about extra postage…just put it in a business envelope if you don’t have one for a mini slimline.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Joy Bells

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A die cut Christmas card w/ metallic gold bells, pierced background & a pretty designer paper strip. Add a die cut word & a pierced background to finish it. Change out the designer paper & make a lot of same but different Christmas cards. Great way to use up leftover strips or bands of pretty paper.

    A big congrats to Brenda, the newest Featured Stamper (FS864)! She has a sweet gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, put I used different dies, paper strip instead of ribbon & pierced bg instead of embossed.

    My card was entirely die cut. The bells were cut out of 3 shades of brushed metallic gold & the clappers are brushed metallic bronze. I used a resized slimline die to cut the strip of designer paper, added narrow gold strips down the side, then die cut the green scallop edges w/ a mini slimline die & used just the 2 long edges.

    The holly, greenery & shadow for Joy were cut out of 2 different shades of dk green & the Joy was the lightest of the brushed gold. I used a diamond piercing die for the white panel & added some red gems instead of holly berries. I used the back of a small teaspoon on the back of the bells to push out the shape & make them appear more 3D.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Teal Season

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A white & teal snowy Christmas card. So easy to make w/ just a few dies, a little white splatter for snow & a simple greeting. Change the colors & make a stack of them for Christmas.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS863), so a big congrats to Sue! She has a gorgeous gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the color combo, but I used different dies, different stamps & used a die cut bg instead of a stamped one.

    My card started w/ a paver cover die I cut once out of white & again out of turquoise then attached them offset. I added another layer behind out of heavy card in order to have it stand up a bit off the card front. I die cut the white trees & 2 teal layers. On the top one, I spritzed it w/ a white shimmer spray, then spattered it w/ a white Posca pen to get the various bright white dots. I also used it to add a narrow white edge to the layer before attaching it to the solid teal layer. The 5 trees were attached across the bottom w/ the single tree popped up on top.

    I had a narrow strip of white where I stamped the greeting, then took the flag end of a tag die & cut both ends of the strip. This is also popped up a bit on top of the teal panel.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!
