Sunday Share - A Slimline Sketch For You

I made up a sketch for a Facebook page challenge earlier this month and thought you might like to play along at home too - the sketch is from the Holiday Mini on p 64. I chose the right hand card as it has some layering and possible die cutting as well as a greeting and it was a fun slimline card for a change. 

The basic slimline card starts with a 7" x 8 1/2" card base, scored at 3 1/2". Did you know that Stampin' Up! has Slimline Envelopes #157981 in the Annual Catalogue on p 137? You can colour coordinate them with your card bases, or have a contrast. I opted for the plain white this time and added a strip of the DSP from each of the cards I'm sharing today. (Tip - you can also use your retired Envelope Punch Board to make your envelope from DSP or use a #10 Business envelope.)

My first card was an easy CASE from the catalogue sketch - one layer of Splendid Day Designer Series Paper glued to my card base, then a smaller layer of the Foil Design popped on top - love the shine from the foils!  I added a die cut element from the Splendid Stems Dies in Pool Party taking my colour choice from the DSP. I die cut two cardstock pieces for the greeting - one in Pool Party and the other in Basic White. The sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral Ink to contrast with the other layers. It would be lovely heat embossed in Copper too.

My second card was to show how you can make a sketch into any type of card and I decided on a Christmas themed one - I don't know about you but I can always use more Christmas cards and any extras give me ahead start on next year's supply!  I had just received the Decorated With Happiness Bundle and decided to try using the three outline dies with the Distressed Gold Designer Series Paper (it's on p 139 in the AC and will be back in stock in the new year). The patterned paper is from the Celebrate Everything Host Rewards Pack in the Holiday Mini.  I loved how this card came out - it's so bright and happy - just the way a Christmas card should be 🙂🎄
