Slimline Card Stampin' Up! Enjoy the Stillness of the Season

Hello and welcome to my blog! I have a pretty slimline card for you today using the Curvy Dies and Plaid Tidings DSP (on sale at my online store until Oct 31).

What I love about slimline cards is that they are a unique size, they fit in a standard letter envelope, and don't require extra postage. And, just like other cards, these can be made into fun folds! I've provided the measurements and other card details in the video further down in this post.

I do love the Merry Moose stamp set, and that's where I found this lovely sentiment! Have you registered for my Merry Moose Online Class? Deadline to register is Oct 30. Check it out HERE

The Quite Curvy bundle and Quite Curvy Variety bundle will be available for you to purchase on November 3rd. As mentioned above, the Plaid Tidings DSP (as well as 14 other DSP packs) are on sale now at my online store for 15% off. I have an order going in on October 30th, so send me your shopping list! You can view the products HERE

If you wish to place an order yourself, please use my current Host Code GJTBWVAS at the checkout.

Stampin' Up! It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to my blog! I'm excited to share this card the making of the card video with you!

As a wee sidebar - I've entered a card in Kylie's International Highlights Gallery and I would be most grateful if you would vote for my card. You can view the card & vote (my card is #2 in the gallery). Vote HERE

Here's my card.

I'm all about a bit of texture, bling, and a pop of colour! If you're like me, your finished cards often don't look like your original vision - and it's that tweaking taking cards from pretty to wow! For this card I knew I wanted to use the Crumb Cake paper from Plaid Tidings DSP (it's 15% off until Oct 31). Subtle cards are a fave of mine, however this time I felt more of a statement was required.

All measurements are given in my video. Click on the picture below to view.

I cut the tree using one of the In the Woods dies and the paper I selected is 'Tis the Season - also 15% off until Oct 31. That thin layer of red is from the same DSP pack. The sentiment for the front and inside of the card are both from Wrapped in Christmas and I love the variety of fonts in this set! The bling on the tree are the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and the 'tinsel' is the gold metallic trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.

What do you do with those leftover pieces of DSP? Use them in your cards as a pretty border. That's Crumb Cake ink for the sentiment - I love how Stampin' Up! used two different fonts!

I have a NEW online class for you! Check it out HERE
