IT'S SLIMLINE!
I am so excited that the Large Die of the Month for January 2021 from Spellbinders is a Slimline die set. If you have followed me for any length of time then you already know that the slimline card size is my current favorite thing. The slimline sized card fits into a business envelope and is about 8-1/2" x 3-1/2".
This new die set has a cover plate die that is heart themed. And it has a set of 3 layering heart dies that go with this cover plate. As well as some accent dies of foliage.
Here you can see this die set in action. NOTE - the music at the end of the video get loud, due to my editing error, so sorry.
If you can not see the video on this screen you can also view it right here.
Let's look at each of these cards so you can see all the amazing details.
This is such a beautiful cover plate! I love all the little hearts surrounding the 3 larger hearts. Before I die cut this panel I swiped a piece of white card stock with a gold stamp pad. After die cutting this panel is just a hair under the standard 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" of a slimline card front panel.
You can see the hearts on this card each have 3 layers. I started with a light pink card for the bottom heart. I layered that with a dark pink heart for the middle layer. And on top for the most detailed of the three heart dies I used gold mirror card stock. I love this look, the kaleidoscope look!
Around the center heart you an see the foliage die cuts that come in this set. They are designed to fit around the outside of the heart. But are versatile enough to use on any card.
For the second card I used the same white card stock brushed with gold ink for the panel I die cut the heart cover plate with. I then mounted this to a piece of brushed gold cardstock. I die cut only the most detailed of the hearts for the centers from gold foil card stock. I used the foliage dies to adorn the center of each heart.
For both cards I hot foiled a sentiment for another added touch of gold. If you are interested in learning more about Hot Foiling, you can check out these videos I have done on the Glimmer Hot Foil system and see my cute creations.
