Another adorable card made with mini slimline card dies!

I am loving making cards with these new mini slimline card dies and the nested sets are making me so happy! There are four sets – stitched, deckle, scallop and the set I used here with scalloped holes. Who knew a little hole in each scallop could add such a pretty design element to a die cut? Well, Rubbernecker sure did! Just look at how pretty the layers are on this card!

Mini Slimline Card Base and Layers

• Use white cardstock to cut a 6.00″ x 7.00″ layer and score down the center to create a 6.00″ x 3.50″ card base.
• Cut the Mini Slimline Tab Scallop Holes using white cardstock. 
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the largest layer and attach it to the card base.
• Cut a 5.75″ x 3.25″ layer of designer paper, apply ATG adhesive to the back and attach it to the eyelet layer.
• Dust the smallest eyelet layer using an Embossing Magic bag to reduce static. 
• Secure the eyelet layer and the Kittie Says Spring Time sentiment stamp in the MISTI and stamp the sentiment using Nocturne ink.
• Apply clear embossing powder to the sentiment and heat with a heat gun. 
• Attach the sentiment layer to the card base using ATG adhesive.

Heart Bouquet

• Use red cardstock to cut out the Slimline OPC Hearts and lay the hearts face down on the molding pad.
• Gently roll over the hearts using a large round stylus to add a rounded form.
• Use green cardstock to cut two Flower #3 to use for stems.
• Trim a little off each flower to make it small enough to fit behind the hearts.
• Attach the hearts to the trimmed flower sections of the stems using glossy accents.
• Trim off the large lower stem of flowers and attach it over the large top stem of flowers using glossy accents.
• Cut a thin 1/8″ strip of green cardstock, cut into four 3.00″ sections and attach them to the bottom of the bouquet stems using glossy accents. 
• Apply glossy accents to the back of the heart bouquet and attach it to the card base.
• Create a white organza multi loop bow and attach it to cover the section where the two flower stems are connected.  Pro Tip:  Check out my Multi Loop Bow Video if you would like to see how I make my bows.

I have to say that these mini slimline card dies are getting a lot more use in my craft room than I expected. They are just so fun to use, I love the size of the cards, they dies work together beautifully and I feel like I’ve been given access to so much creative opportunity!
