  • Christmas Mini Slimline


    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!

  • Halloween Greetings


    A stenciled & die cut mini slimline Halloween card. Easy to make & change up the colors or use a colored designer paper for the background. So many ways to customize the look.




    A big congrats to Dbamesburg, the newest Featured Stamper (FS866)! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 1 layer style & left side arrangement but used different images, colors & made mine a Halloween theme instead of Christmas.

    My mini slimline card started w/ a yellow/orange/purple background I made ages ago. It was done by spreading Marvy metallic markers onto a brayer, spritzing w/ water then rolling it across the white card stock. The colors seemed very Halloweeny to me, so I used the stencil & azure ink to sponge in the tree & background bats. For the moon, I sponged the stencil w/ 2 yellow inks onto a small piece of white, die cut it w/ circle die & attached it on top. I used another stencil to add the grass across the bottom to ground it.

    A few die cut purple bats were added on top as well as the tombstone & hand.  A small piece of purple die cut grass was added across the bottom of the tombstone. I positioned the greeting tag so it would appear the hand was holding it.

    Thanks so

  • Red Holiday Door

    With this bright cheery holiday door, there’s no place like home for the holidays. A few die cuts, a greeting & a lightly stenciled brick facade complete this mini slimline card.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC924), we visited DeWinton Paper Co & their Pinterest Board. I chose THIS for my inspiration.

    My mini slimline was fairly easy. I die cut the parts for the door w/ the added winter door parts out of red, white & green scraps. I didn’t use all the dies that come w/ both of these sets. After putting them together, I took a white pencil & a red Copic and added a little distressing to the door. I used a white Posca pen to add some snow on top of a few areas. A repeating brick stencil was used for the appearance of a brick facade behind the door.

    I used a red Posca pen to add the berries on the wreath & topiary. The greeting was stamped under the door & I colored & die cut a little holly pine cone element to place in the corner next to the greeting.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
