Sweet Talk Slimline Card with Festive Friday

 

It's fun to take part in challenges to give our ideas a different direction . . . . today's card is all about hearts and a few other things too! You can check out the blog post from Festive Friday here and enter your own ideas until February 14th! 

I decided to choose Pink, Sparkle, Ribbon and Hearts for my card, and then added a greeting that could fit the Romantic Sentiment too 😊

I have made a few slimline cards lately and really like the extra space on the card front to embellish just a bit more than a regular card size. This card started with Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 7" x 8 1/2" and scored at 3 1/2". That's a perfect fit for the new Slimline Envelopes on p 53 in the Spring Mini. 

Here's some of the products I used - plus I punched the scalloped hearts from In Color Shimmer Vellum in the Annual Catalogue for my sparkle (Fresh Freesia to the rescue to coordinate with Highland Heather in the Designer Series Paper!)

Can you see the sparkle in the Fresh Freesia Hearts?? 

Here's a tip for adding the DSP to the envelope flaps - use your Silicone Mat under the flap, then add adhesive of choice to the flap. Top with your DSP strip cut to 1 3/8" x 4", burnish with your Bone Folder then trim the edges from the back with your Paper Snips. I also stamped some hearts on the front of the envelope💕

Here's the Sweet Talk Collection #157629 p 8 that I used today although I added my texture with the Dotty Hearts Embossing Folders (Annual Catalogue p 154) in Blushing Bride Cardstock and added Fresh Freesia Shimmer Ribbon..
