    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:

  • Santa Train


    A Christmas in July slimline card using heavy printed card stock w/ pre-colored images & matching dies. Comes w/ sheets of the printed images along w/ scenes & snowflake papers to mix & match.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC917) & I thought we’d go w/ some Christmas in July, so it’s off to the Decorator’s Warehouse this week.

    I came across THIS cute item & used it for my inspiration. It was perfect for this Winter Train slimline pad w/ matching dies. All of the cute images are pre-printed & pre-colored so I used their matching dies to cut them all out. I used a scenic night background (from the same pad) for the background & die cut it w/ the largest stitched slimline die. I cut a slightly larger white layer, then added the rest of the bg behind it. I thought the narrow white layer would break up the dark a little.

    After I arranged the train and other cut outs, I attached them to the bg & popped up a few, here & there just a bit. I added the Merry Christmas w/ shadow along the top. 

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Sun Girl

    a fun in the sun beach girl mini slimline card. easy to make w/ stencils & dies for this new Beach Girl set & dies.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC911), we’re visiting Lumas & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

    For my fun in the sun mini slimline card, I first stamped & colored the palm trees then I used a couple of stencils & a reverse circle mask to sponge in the sand, water & big yellow sun. I filled in the clouds using another stencil. The girl & beach bag were colored & die cut along w/ the beach chair.

    I added a narrow royal blue layer & stamped the greeting across the top. The girl  & bag were popped up a bit w/ foam.

    Here are the Copics I used:
