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.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s a quick and simple Holiday card that was created entirely from dies. No stamping required! This card combines Catherine Pooler Designs, Lawn Fawn and Queen & Company products.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base. I die cut another piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Peppermint Stripes Backdrop, which I adhered to the front of the card base.

I die cut the holly leaves from green cardstock from the DCWV Single-Sided Brights Mat Stack 4.5″ x 6.5″ and the berries from red metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz idea-ology Metallic Jewels 8 x 8 Paper Stash Kraft Stock using the Catherine Pooler Designs Candy Cane Christmas Dies. I colored the leaves with Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Ink to give them some added dimension.

I die cut the sentiment from red metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz idea-ology Metallic Jewels 8 x 8 Paper Stash Kraft Stock using Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs Dies and the Queen & Company Sentiment Stacker Dies.

On the inside of the card, I stamped another sentiment from Lawn Fawn Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Winter Stamps with Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Ink. I also added another set of holly leaves and a bow.

Stenciled Background St. Patrick’s Day Card

Simon Says Stamp and Scrapbook.com

Hello friends. Here’s a quick but very cute St. Patrick’s Day card featuring Simon Says Stamp’s Wooly Lucky Stampset (this came out last year I believe). It’s a very simple card with a subtle stenciled background. I love using stencils for backgrounds because it makes it so quick. And who’s got time to make complicated backgrounds these days?!? Not me.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base and a piece from Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I used the Scrapbook.com Shamrocks 6 x 8″ Stencil with Catherine Pooler Garden Party Ink to create the background. I die cut it with the largest dot die from Catherine Pooler’s Scallops & Dots Dies which measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″.

I stamped the llama and two rainbows from the Simon Says Stamp’s Wooly Lucky Stampset onto some Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black.

I colored the images with Copic colors. I used W0, W1 & 0, R20, & C7 for the llama; G07 & G09, C7 & C9, Y15 & Y17 for the hat and bow; YG03 for the shamrocks; YG03, YG17, G07, Y15 & Y17 for the blanket; R17 & R27, YR04 & YR07, YG17 & G07, B02 & B04, BV08 & BV17 for the rainbow; and BG000 & 0 for the clouds. I fussy cut all the images.

I stamped the sentiment from the from Lawn Fawn Hats Off to You Clear Stamps onto the card panel with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then using my MISTI stamped over it with Versamark Ink, heat embossed it with Ranger CLEAR Embossing Powder.

Before adhereing the images to the card panel, I cut a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the llama.

I finished the card by adding Nuvo Crystal Drops – Metallic Bright Gold.

I left the inside of the card blank and just added two images I had previously stamped from the same stamp set.
