It’s Monday and time for another Global Design Project Challenge!
#GDP311 is a Theme Challenge and a fun one! Leaves….the options are pretty endless. You can go with the current craze of Fall-themed leaves (I mean, it is Fall right now) or you can use any leaves that call your name…mine just happened to be the frond from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Bundle.
I think white on white cards with a pop of color are so gorgeous, don’t you?
Slimline Card:
Begin with a 8″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. Score and fold at 4″.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock to 3 x 7 1/2. With a Simply Scored Tool, create an embossed “frame”. 1″ from top and bottom, 1/2″ in from both sides. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Blending Brush along with Bermuda Bay Classic Ink to create an ombré effect on a 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White Cardstock. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini), Artistic Die, and Basic White Cardstock to crop the frond. Adhere with Mini Glue Dots that have been rolled between your fingers so they can remain hidden behind the die-cut.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Cover with White Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool. Trim closely with Paper Snips. Adhere with Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with Pearl Basic Jewels and Subtle Shimmer Sequins adhered with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
NEED AN ENVELOPE? Make your own! Slimline Envelope:
Begin by cutting a piece of Basic White 12 x 12 Cardstock to 9 1/8 x 11.
Score the 9 1/8″ side at 2″ and 6 1/8″.
Score the 11″ side at 1 1/4″ and 10″.
Remove the four corners with Paper Snips by following the score lines.
Assemble and adhere at overlays.
Creating your own SLIMLINE envelope is pretty easy. I make them for all my slimline cards, but you can also use a Business #10 envelope if you want. I used a piece of Basic White 12×12 Cardstock. It’s not too thick and works well for my black and white theme.
The template to create your own envelope to tuck your slimline card inside is shown above. You can click on the image to download the PDF to print and keep it as a reference.
I love the simplicity of this card. Mixing Pearl Basic Jewels with Subtle Shimmer Sequins? Who would have thought they pair so well together!
