Hi Crafty Friends,
As you may have noticed if you follow my blog, I have become super addicted to Slimline cards, so I was very excited when Divinity Designs announced they were releasing Slimline dies .... there are nine new Slimline die sets, three Slimline Paper Pads and two stamp sets being released this month.
Included in the Slimline dies to be released is the Slimline Card Base die which die cuts a card base that is 3 7/8" x 9" and will fit into a #10 envelope. There are three nesting Slimline die sets, which I was hoping for. Two of the nesting dies are rectangle sets ... Slimline Rectangles and Slimline Layering Rectangles, the third is a Slimline Scalloped Rectangles die set.
There are three Slimline die sets which are great to create scenes for Slimline cards ... Slimline Curvy Slopes; Slimline Grasses and Slimline Clouds.
The last two Slimline dies being released are decorative dies ... Slimline Flower Petal Background die and Slimline Pierced Window Frame die.
Besides the Slimline dies, there are two stamp sets and three paper pads that work well with Slimline cards.
All the cards I am sharing today are Slimline cards using the new slimline dies. All cards using the new Slimline Card Base die for the bases of my card.
For the owl card above, I used the Slimline Pierced Window Frame die. Along the top of the windows I used one of the clouds from the Slimline Clouds die set. Behind the windows I used designer paper from the Menswear Material Paper Collection.
The Window Frame Panel is layered to a rectangle panel from the Slimline Rectangles die set and then this was layered to a Scalloped Rectangles from the Slimline Scalloped Rectangles die set. This was all layered onto the Slimline Card Base.
To decorate my card I used the owls and sentiments from the Who Loves You Stamp/Die Duos set. I stamped and die cut the tree branch, three times and then trimmed it in different areas before adding it to the particular opening, so that it looks like one long branch.
For the inside of the card I used one of the slopes from the new Slimline Curvy Slopes die set and a birthday sentiment from the stamp set.
For my second card today I have created a space themed card using the Rocket Man Stamp/Die Duos set.
For the background panel I used the largest rectangle from the Slimline Layering Rectangles die set. I then used the galaxy sky technique to create the space background. I used one of the clouds from the Slimline Clouds die set along the bottom of the panel.
I layered this panel to the largest rectangle from the Slimline Rectangles die set and then adhered to the card base die cut using the Slimline Card Base die set.
For the inside of the card I again used the cloud from the Slimline Cloud die set and added two more of the aliens and a sentiment from the stamp/die duos set.
For my final card today, I have created my first Christmas card for the year. This time around I used the new Slimline Flower Petal Background, I die cut this from red cardstock and then layered it onto white cardstock that was covered with double sided adhesive tape and then covered with clear glitter. I layered this panel onto layers created using the Slimline Layering Rectangles and the Slimline Scalloped Rectangles die set.
To decorate my card I used the Pinecones & Pine Branches; Merry Christmas; Double Pierced Vintage Labels die sets.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a card I created using the new Magic Iris - Camera Add on die set released by Lawn Fawn last week. I love now Lawn Fawn come out with add ons to existing die sets to get more options with what you already have.
Here is a quick video to see my card in action.
I was originally planning on using a different stamp set with the camera die, but after I had used the patterned papers on my card, I decided it needed something that I could color to coordinate with the papers. So I opted for using CC Designs Funny Faces stamp, this stamp is actually a boy and a girl, but I was able to position the stamp so that only the girl was seen. As this looks a lot like my granddaughter, I will probably keep this for her birthday which is later in the year.
When you pull the lever at the top right hand side of the camera, the iris of the lens starts to open to reveal an image.
Here you can see the image completely revealed.
I added the "Smile" sentiment which is an older die from Honey Bee Stamps and also a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set.
I also added the "8" to the left side of the camera, as that is how old she will be.
Here you can see the camera side by side as the iris in the lens is opening.
For the inside of the card I used the Magic Iris Camera Pull Tab Add On to add the photo frame.
I also added sentiments from The Ton's Easy Expressions Birthday stamp set and coordinating dies.

Hi Crafty Friends,
I combined Slimline dies from Trinity Stamps (the stitched rectangle panel) and Mama Elephant (the purple scalloped layer) to create my card. I also used the scenic dies from the Mama Elephant die set to add the grass areas along the bottom of my card. I die cut everything from white cardstock and then used inks and blender brushes to apply the ink to my pieces.
The fairies, flowers, sentiment etc are all from Hello Bluebird's Fairy Garden stamp set.
For the inside of my card I die cut a smaller white rectangle panel than what I used on the front of the card and also the Scalloped Rectangle. I added a few more of the fairies, flowers etc to the panel that I used on the front of the card.
The sentiment used here is from an previous Hero Arts My Monthly Hero stamp set.
