To make the shaker on this slim line card, I cut the Pretty Peacock cardstock with two of the Stitched Shapes circle dies. I also cut a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet with the same circle dies. I cut a piece of Window Sheeting and a piece of the Whale of a Time patterned paper with the larger of the circle dies. I adhere the window sheet to the back of the Pretty Peacock circle, then I added the foam circle. I filled the circle with the Whale of a Time sequins before adding the patterned paper circle to the back. 

I added this to the front of the slim line card. I added pieces of seaweed stamped in Granny Apple Green and coral stamped with Calypso Coral ink to the front of the circle. I embossed the greeting with white embossing powder and trimmed the end to match the end of the words. I added this to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Card base: 7 1/2" x 9 1/4", scored at 3 3/4"
Colored Cardstock: 8 3/4" x 3 1/4"
Whale of a Time patterned paper: 3 1/16" x 2 9/16"
Whale of a Time patterned paper: 3 1/16" x 6"

I used Calypso Coral cardstock for the card base on this slim line thank you card. The layer under the Whale of a Time patterned paper is Mango Melody. The patterned paper on the bottom is embossed with the with the Seabed 3D embossing folder. I stamped the whale with Just Jade ink and punched it with the Whale Builder punch. The greeting is stamped with Just Jade ink as well and layered on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I tied the front with White Crinkled Seam Binding and added Whale of a Time sequins. 

This slim line card has a Just Jade card base and Granny Apple Green layer. I stamped the seaweed with Granny Apple Green ink, the coral with Pretty Peacock ink, and the seahorses with Just Jade ink. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink as well. The front panel is 3 1/4" x 2 1/8" and layered it on a piece of Granny Apple Green cut with the Stitched so Sweetly dies. Like the first card, I added a few Whale of a Time sequins for bling and some crinkled seam binding.

My last card has a Pretty Peacock card base with Pool Party layers. I cut the circle and the circle layer with the Layered Circle dies. The whale is punched from a piece of the Whale of a Time patterned paper. I punched the water from his blow spout from one of the water patterns in the patterned paper pack. I added a little Striped Blackberry ribbon. I love this ribbon because it is so easy to tie and makes beautiful bows! 

I embossed the greeting with white embossing powder on Blackberry Bliss cardstock and trimmed it with my paper snips. Finally, I added a few more of the Whale of the Time sequins for a little bling, because who doesn't love bling?

I have decided it is slim line card week this week! Last night we made a slim line card for Mystery Stamping. Here is the sketch for that card. The finished size is 9 1/4" x 3 3/4" and it will fit in a standard #10 business envelope. While the shape is little different, slim line cards can be quick and easy! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Cutting Dimensions:
Cardstock (card base): 7 ½ x 9 ¼”, scored at 3 ¾”
Light-colored coordinating cardstock: 3 ½” x 5 ¾”
White or Vanilla cardstock: 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”
Patterned Paper: 3 ½” x 3 ¼”

The cards have an image stamped on the lower left as well as a focal point image at the top of the card. The greeting is also stamped directly on the light colored cardstock on the bottom half of the card. 

My first card uses the Merry Moose stamp set and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. I stamped the outline of the moose with Soft Suede ink and then the inside with Crumb Cake ink. Then I punched it out using the moose punch and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

My second card uses the To a Wild Rose stamp set and the Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper. This DSP is designed primarily for Halloween, but I love some of the black prints. Here, it really makes the Magenta Madness pop. I stamped the "Blessed" with Magenta Madness ink on Whisper White cardstock and then fussy cut it and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals on an angle. Finally, because every card needs a little bling, I added some basic rhinestones. 
​

My final card uses the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper from the 2020 August-December Mini Catalog. I pulled the colors from the DSP: Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, and Pacific Point. For the bling, I added some of the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems.
​

In the last few weeks, slim line cards have seen a huge growth in popularity. So, I decided to play along with the sketch challenge posted on SplitcoastStampers this week which is a slim line card. The sketch features three triangles pointing in from the edges. Let's see how I tackled the challenge. On y go! Let's get stamping.

For both of my cards today, I used the soft color combination of Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam, and a little Petal Pink for the second one. I also added strips of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. Just this week, I got the new Stitched Triangles dies and the Right Triangle stamp set, so this sketch seemed like the perfect way to break them in!

Both of my cards measure 9 1/4" x 3 3/4" and fit nicely into a standard #10 business envelope. The strip of DSP on the left is approximately 1" x 9" for both cards as well and the thin strip of copper on one and Petal Pink on the other is 1/4" x 9". I left these two strips longer than 9" until I adhered them to the front layer. Then, I trimmed the ends. This way, I made sure that all of the layers were exactly the same length.

For my second card, I used the Right Triangle stamp set to stamp designs on the triangles before cutting them with the Stitched Triangle dies. I also stamped a random pattern on the piece of Pool Party cardstcock on the card front.
