Halloween Greetings

Posted on September 9, 2023 10:23 PM by Julie Comment

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 much for stopping by!

Red Holiday Door

Posted on August 18, 2023 10:10 PM by Julie Comment

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!

Christmas Dogs

A mini slimline card featuring sweet little Christmas dogs & colorful paper. Change up the paper & colors to customize a stack of Christmas cards. The matching dies for the images make it quick & easy.

We are visiting the interesting Pinterest Board of Carole Jarvis for the Inspiration Challenge (IC919). I used THIS picture as the inspiration for my card.

I used a new set of adorable Christmas dogs & some new slimline paper for my card. After coloring & die cutting the cute pups, I used the stitched mini slimline dies to cut the layers of papers. I also wanted some of the reverse side of the striped paper so I used the corner of a square stitched die to cut the little triangle tabs & added a narrow red layer behind them. I also used the red for a circle layer behind the greeting.

The dogs & greeting circle were popped up just a bit.

Here are the Copics I used:
