For my card I used the Rays Slimline stamp and added the Winds of Change sentiment (favorite of mine), I also added some scene birds and rhinestones. I love how easy is to make slimline card using the Rays Slimline stamp!

Trinity Stamps: Kind Thoughts are Flowers from the Heart

2021-07-20T09:00:00.003-04:00

Hi everyone!

I am back today with a second post and I am sharing a mini slim line card using few of the new Trinity Stamps products: Buttercup Blossoms stamp set along with the coordinating dies and the Dainty Scallop Edge Mini Slimline die set

You can also head over on the Trinity Blog to see this post and also find more inspiration from other designers!

To make the card start by die cutting three of the largest mini slimline dies. I do this is to add more dimension to my card instead of using foam. Also this way the card is sturdier and handles going through the mail better.

Next, stamp, color and die cut two of the flower borders from the Buttercup Blossoms stamp set. Also die cut 6 additional pieces to use to stack up the images for added dimension. Same way like we did for the mini slimline panel.

Using adhesive stack up the layers. You can see the achieved dimension below.

Stamp sentiment on blue card stock (same color as your mini slim line layer) and emboss in white. Die cut using the Slimline Series: Stitched Strips Die set. Adhere additional strips on the back to create dimension.
Assemble your card by adhering the flower borders and the sentiment, then adhering to a mini slimline note card ( I create mine using 6 1/2" x 7" piece of white card stock and score the 7" side at 3 1/2")

To finish your card add few Amber Glow Rhinestones Embellishment Mix.

Spellbinders: Be Merry Collection

2021-07-20T00:37:00.004-04:00

Hi everyone!

It's the 20th of the month which means new Spellbinders release! This release is all about Christmas, the Holiday Season and winter and it's amazing! Today I am sharing three cards using the new Be Merry Collection.

For my cards I used the Chill Bear and Dancin' Gnome die sets along with the Gifts of Christmas Sentiments Hot Foil set. I created three different sizes of cards: standard slimline, A2 and mini slimline card. These dies are so much fun to play with.

For my first card I used both the bear and the gnome. I also paired it up with the Confetti background glimmer plate and also used the new Color Block scenic scape.

For my second card I used the Chill bear die set to create the A2 card, also combined it with the color block scenic scape and the Gift of Christmas Sentiments Hot foil set (I am loving this Poppy Fields red card stock from Spellbinders!!!) I also added Sparkle silk to the snowflakes.

Last but not the least is a gnome mini slimline card. Besides the products from the Be Merry Collection I also used the
