Welcome to the September 2023 New at SU! Blog Hop!
This month our theme is Shine, Shimmer & Glow from the newly released Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog.
If you are a crafter like me you are already thinking about the holidays. Christmas cards in particular. If you follow my blog you know that I really enjoy making mini slimline cards and a matching envelope. The inspiration for this card came from
Mikaela's Post. My card today uses products from the new Joy Of Christmas Suite Collection. This includes 2 beautiful bundles, the Joy Of Noel & the Christmas Classics. It also includes 2 - 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper packs. The Joy Of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP). There is a Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Check Ribbon and some Loose Holly Gems & Sequins to embellish your holiday projects with.
My mini slimline card starts with a card base of Pecan Pie Cardstock. The card front is from the Joyful SDSP ( you can't see it in the photo but the music notes are done in gold foil). This is matted on a Shaded Spruce Cardstock layer. The Noel letters have heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder on Basic White Cardstock. having all of the letters on one stamp and one die makes it so easy to work with. And the results are outstanding. I mounted the stamped letters onto a Foam Adhesive Sheet before die cutting the letters apart. This added some extra dimension to the letters. Here is a TIP - I had a 3/8" strip of Window Sheet in my drawer. I adhered the letters to this strip and cut away the excess. Now it was easier to adhere the assembled Noel onto my card after I had adhered the pine and leaf sprigs to the card front. The pine sprig is More Dazzle Gold SDSP. The leaf sprig is Shaded Spruce Cardstock. I heat embossed the Joyous sentiment with some White Stampin' Emboss Powder on a scrap of Basic Black Cardstock, used my snips to fussy cut the sentiment out. Then added a few of the Loose Holly Gems.
