Slimline cards have become all the rage and Stampin’ Up! even has Slimline Envelopes available now. Today I decided I would use several of the products from the Heart & Home Suite to create a slimline card.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Basic White cardstock that is cut to 7 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 3 ¾” on the 7 ½” side. I added a layer of Basic Gray that measures 3 4/8 x 8 3/8”. Next, I added a layer of the wood panel looking paper from the Heart & Home 12 x 12” Designer Series Paper that measures 3 ½ x 8 ¼”.
With this all assembled I started to work
on my stamping for my card. I stamped two
of the floral bouquets from the Blessings of Home Bundle onto Basic White cardstock
using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I then stamped the three bees from the
Honeybee Home Bundle onto Basic White cardstock again with Tuxedo Black Memento
Ink and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I colored everything in using the Stampin’
Blends listed below. (Note: on the large white flowers I just added a
little of the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends in the center). I also added Wink of Stella (does not show in
the pics but it is beautiful on the card) to just the white flowers and the three
bees.
I adhered one of the bouquets directly
onto the card base and I popped the second one up using Dimensionals. I added all three bees using Dimensionals as
well. I turned my bouquets to give the
card that little arch look. As you can see,
I intended this card to be a vertical card but I could have chosen to orient it
to a horizonal card as well.
For the inside I simply stamped a part of
the bouquet on the bottom corner using Basic Gray Ink and I did the same on the
Slimline Envelope. These envelopes come in
a package of 15 with 5 each of Soft Succulent, White and Smoky Slate and each
has a nice liner as well.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it. As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
