Quick and Easy Mini Slimline Holiday Card Using Minimal Supplies

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Need a quick holiday card that packs a punch?!? Today I’m showing how to make this mini slimline card that uses minimal supplies. See how easy this was to create!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 6 and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a mini slimline card base, as well as a piece which I cut to 3-1/2 x 6″. Then embossed it using the Craftwell Delicate Dots Embossing Folder. I also cut a strip of patterned paper from Catherine Pooler Under the Tree Slimline Patterned Paper (discontinued) to 1 x 6″.

I die cut the candy canes and bow from Tim Holtz idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft using the Catherine Pooler Designs Candy Cane Christmas Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink.

On the inside, I added a strip of the same patterned paper measuring 1 x 3-1/2″. I stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment – Winter with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink.

Hello friends. Here’s a quick and easy coffee-themed birthday card using older stamp sets from my stash. I love the modern graphic style of this coffee set!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7” x 6” and scored at 3-1/2″. I also cut a piece to 3-1/4 x 5-3/4″, and another piece to 1 x 5-3/4″.

For the background piece, I stamped the smaller images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) with Catherine Pooler Sand Castle Ink and then I used the direct-to-paper technique with S’mores Ink to color the strip.

I stamped the espresso maker from Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Rockin’ Red, Pebble, and Oh Boy! inks. I popped them up using Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) and Sugar Pea Designs Espresso Yourself Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with S’mores Ink and Cranberry Fizz and fussy cut it out.

I left the inside of the card blank and added a S’mores-colored espresso maker.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. This Lovely Layers: Cupcakes & More die set from Honeybee Stamps is so much fun to play with. Lots of options to create cupcakes, sundaes, ice cream cones and more! So many options…

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 6″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a mini slimline card base.

I die cut the glass from Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay (retired) and Coastal Cabana 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstocks with the Honeybee Stamps Lovely Layers: Cupcakes & More. I also die cut 3 ice cream scoops from watercolor paper which I had colored using Tim Holtz Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Inks. I die cut the straw from Coastal Cabana 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock and colored it with Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay (retired).

For the sprinkles I used all the same inks but ink blended them onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ before die cutting them.

I stamped the sentiment from Mini Messages: Birthday 4×5 Stamp Set Honeybee Stamps Mini Messages onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Inks and die cut with the Honey Cuts Mini Messages Banners.

I finished off the card by adding highlights with Uni-ball Signo White Broad Point Gel Pen.

I left the inside of the card blank and just added some of the die cut sprinkles.

Two Mini Slimline Cards featuring Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemon

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. I couldn’t resist getting the cute Zesty Lemon Die set from Lawn Fawn when I saw it! For my first cards I decided to make some embossed backgrounds and my distress sprays. These will also be available in my Etsy Shop.

For the both cards, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 7″ x 6″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create the card bases. I diecut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with the stitched frame 3x to stack them and the scallop rectangle from the Queen & Company Foundation 17 dies. I also die cut one of the stitched smaller rectangles from the same set as well as a piece measuring 3 x 5-3/4″.

I embossed the two rectangles with the Darice 5 x 7 Plaid Embossing Folder then colored them using Distress Sprays. I used Broken China and Salty Ocean for the first card and Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin for the second. In retrospect, I would water down the colors on the pink/orange background a bit more. Once all was dry, I added some splashed with White Acrylic Paint.

For the lemons and leaves, I die cut them from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemon set. I used Distress Oxide Inks to color them. I used Squeezed Lemonade for the lemons, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness for the leaves and Picked Raspberry for the flower centers and the cheeks.

For the sentiments, on the first card I used the Honey Bee Tailgate Alphabet Dies to spell out “ZEST” which I die cut from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock (which I colored with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink) and Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Card Stock. The rest of the sentiment came from the Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends Stampset and was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the same white cardstock.

On the second card, I diecut the “hello” from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock (which I colored with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink) and Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Card Stock using the Simon Says stamp Bold Hello Die. I added some shimmer with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

I left the insides of the cards blank.
