Sentiment: We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 

 Another look at the second card.

 

Helpful Tips:

To make this Christmas Crew mini slimline card, begin by preparing a mini slimline card base to fit a small mailing envelope.  Also, stamp and color the Christmas Crew.  I  used Copic markers, but use what you have.  Next trim or die-cut the stamping and a frame background layer.  Then, stamp and trim a sentiment tag and flag accent.  Finally, layer it all onto the mini slimline card base with added embellishment dots, to finish.

To make the deer card, stamp and foil the deer stamping.  Use deco foil with either deco foil transfer gel or heat emboss the stamping before adding foil.  I used a laminator to foil.  Next, add ink blending to the edges of the stamped layer.  I used distress ink.   Then, add the sentiment and splatters.  Finally, layer onto a mini slimline card base, to finish.

Mini Slimline card base:  6 1/4" x 6 1/2", score 3" 1/4" on the longer side of the paper.
