HELLO mini slimline

Hey everybody, happy middle of the week! The weeks sure are rolling by fast… and I sure wish some warmer weather would follow. Our southern friends are having heat waves and we have snow on the ground! In all honesty, we’ve had a very mild Winter so I’m really not complaining. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fun friendship card featuring the Spellbinders Sunset In A Glass die set that I’m totally in love with! I actually had another project created and scheduled to go live this morning, but since our Lessebo cardstock is 10% off throughout the month of March (and it happens to be my favorite), I decided to switch gears and share this mini slimline card instead. Good choice, right?! I used six colors from our Lessebo line as well as light and medium shades of kraft.

I cut my go-to size of 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Lessebo Coffee Bean as well as a layering panel from Desert Storm cardstock (the lighter one) and a die cut panel from Twine cardstock (the slightly darker one) using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Stitched Rope Die. Then I went to work creating the focal image. Using the Spellbinders Sunset In A Glass die set, I cut the pieces from Lessebo Coffee Bean, Lessebo Brick Orange, Lessebo Sunset Orange, Lessebo Cherry Red, Lessebo Arctic Blue, Lessebo White, Twine and Desert Storm. Once I completed the assembly of the glass, the finishing touch was adding several Freckled Fawn Enamel Dots.

I used the same Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Stitched Rope Die to cut the inside panel from Twine cardstock and then added a slightly smaller panel of Desert Storm cardstock. The sentiment is from the Pinkfresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments stamp set which I stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink.

Hello mini slimline

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! Can you believe we’re on the downslide to the end of March already? Where is the time going?! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring my favorite Classic Crest which I paired with a nice variety of other cardstock in the store! In addition to the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, I used Bright Gold Foil; Pop Tone Cotton Candy, Jellybean Green and Gumdrop Green; Stardream Metallic Azalea and Flame; Basis Dark Orange, and textured Kale Green and Mantis cardstock for this CAS mini slimline. I used to be very intimidated by clean and simple, but over the past few years I’ve been loving it more and more!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with a background panel from 80# Solar White using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Quilted Backdrop Die. Using the Sizzix Geo Floral Frame Thinlits, I cut the frames from Bright Gold Foil, and all the flowers and leaves from Pop Tone Cotton Candy, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Stardream Metallic Azalea, Stardream Metallic Flame, Basis Dark Orange, Kale Green and Mantis cardstock. I assembled the focal element and then cut the sentiment from Azalea cardstock using the Art Impressions Windows to the World Die. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 4mm pink pearls.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from Azalea and Gold Foil cardstock. I added a foiled sentiment created with my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Glimmer Gold Foil and Glimmer Mini Everyday Sentiments Plate & Die Set.
