Mini slimline birthday car card ~ MFT Sketch Challenge 573

 Hello.  Gaylynn here.  Today's card was inspired by the My Favorite Things sketch challenge 573.

Sentiment:

Not older.  Just better.

This is a fun card with a little humor in there.  I used stamps and dies from MFT along with coordinating cardstock and Copic markers.  This is a clean and simple design with the car and friends as the focus.  Fun sentiments were used along the gray strip.  My vision was for the gray strip to be a roadway.  I hope you enjoyed this sweet card.  It sure was fun to make.

Celebrate Mini Slimline Card ~ MCT Birthday Palooza

 Hello.  The My Creative Time design team is sharing birthday projects.  Today, I am sharing a celebration card for a birthday or any celebration.  I used MCT dies for a mini slimline style card.

For this card, I made the star rosette the main focus on the mini slimline card.  This card does not require stamping and no coloring is needed.

Lemons ~ Fun layers mini slimline card & envelope tutorial

  Making a coordinating mini slimline card and envelope set is double the fun.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing a lemon themed mini slimline set tutorial.  

Sentiment:  Hello

This mini slimline card & envelope set was fun to make, especially in the bright lemon yellow and green color scheme.  It was fun making the lemon focal point along with using an eye catching sentiment and pretty paper accents.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this mini slimline card & envelope.  To begin, stamp the lemons with Copic friendly ink and then add Copic marker color in layers of coordinating colors.  Next,  die-cut the sentiment layers and set adhere them together.  Then, die-cut or trim a mini slimline card base and accent layers.  Also, use patterned paper to cut the envelope pieces.  Then, adhere the pieces together to form the coordinating envelope.  Finally, assemble the card layers over the card base to finish the card.

Here is another look.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
