Hi everyone! December is finally here! And whether you like it or not Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. Today I want to share a Christmas slimline card I created. You ask “what is a slimline card”? It’s a long skinny card and the measures are, 3.5″x8.5″. For the base of the card I created, I used the Journal Diecut (retired) which is by Eileen Hull. Let’s get started!
I folded a piece of cardstock in half and I placed it onto the Journal Diecut. The placement was slightly below the cut line of the spine. Then, I ran it through the Diecut Machine.
I added a dollop of Cloud Whip to a paper plate. Then, I slowly added Olive Pops of Color. I mixed it with a Mix Media Spatula until I got the right shade of green.
I used painters tape to hold the Plate and Pattern Layered Stencils (stencil 2) onto a piece of White Cardstock. I applied Cloud Whip with the Mix Media Spatula over the stencil.
I removed the stencil and let the raised image set.
Next, I cut a mat from green cardstock. I lightly inked the edges before adhering to the base of the card.
Since the stenciled image wasn’t as long as the card base. I cut to fit, lightly inked the edges with a green chalk ink before gluing to the card.
I cut two strips of cardstock to cover where I pieced together the stencil image.
I added green gems to the stenciled image. I also cut a circle from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits and adhered to the card.
I placed the “I believe in you” sentiment from Fan Favorites Clear Stamps onto the MISTI Stamping Tool .
I placed painters tape over the “I” and the “in you” of the stamp. I inked the stamp, removed the painters tape and stamped onto a piece of cardstock.
I cut and added a mat to the believe sentiment and glued to the card. I cut a star charm from the Charms Thinlits. Then, I added a piece of gold ribbon to the top of the star. Finally, I adhered it to the circle on the card.
