Hey there my stamping friends. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and continue to enjoy this holiday season.
Today I am sharing a MINI Slimline card using the Made with Love stamp set by Trinity Stamps. I thought this set that came out in the fall of 2020 would also make for a great Valentine's Card.
You can see the making of this card in the video below.
What a stamp to color and fun card size to play with.
A mini Slimline card is made with a 6" x 6" piece of card stock folded in half at 3". It is such a fun size for Valentines day.
I used Copic Markers to color in the cute little knitting gnome and her puppy. I stuck to pink, red, gray and black to give this image a valentine feel. I also wanted the hair and the clothing on my gnome to stand out from each other, so I used Warm Gray markers on her hair and Cool Gray markers on her clothing. I used the same warm gray markers for the puppy. Don't you just love how he is wearing his hat like her!
I also have to tell you about this background, as I am in love with it. It started with a light layer of Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink on to a 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" piece of white card stock. Then I used one of the stencils from the Slimline Lots of Dots set to add another layer of the Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink.
My sentiment came from the Happy Senti-mini stamp and die set. I die cut the two happy dies from the die set in pink and black. Then layered these two pieces together. I used this piece to decide where to put the stamped sentiment. Once the image was stamped in black I was ready to adhere my die cut pieces and add this to my card base.
Trinity Stamps has two Mini Slimline die sets, one makes an envelope for this size card and has several other dies for making these fun sized cards. The other die cuts a card front panel for this size card with 3 windows in it. These die sets are now on my wish list for sure!
