I've made two cards to share with you today but could have made a bunch more if I had the time. 
Card 1 Slimline Slider Card
This set screams fun and when I say fun I mean, "let's make an interactive card" kind of fun! 
  • Start out with two smooth white (or watercolor card) panels measuring 8.25 inches by 3.25 inches. Set aside one of the panels to use later. With one of the panels, splatter masking fluid over it. This will ensure that your snow fall is perfectly white. I love using this technique on my cards. 
  • Once dry, use a light blue ink to create a soft background. I've used Nuvo Hybrid Inks Borrowed Light and Blue Mineral. Let the ink dry and then gently rub off the masking fluid to reveal your white snow. 
  • I looked through my dies stash and found a long'ish thin die that's perfect for a slider. I then cut it into my card panel twice as it wasn't quite long enough. 
  • You'll then need to add foam pads to the back of your panel. I've doubled up my foam adhesive to give a smoother slide. 
  • Grab your second panel and ink just the area where the slider mechanism will show. 
  • Add your penny with foam adhesive through the slider area and attach a die cut sleigh (just a plain die cut as you can add your colored image over the top). 
  • Color your image and trees with Nuvo Alcohol Markers, then die cut. Use a white gel pen to add highlights. 
  • Align your trees and add your colored sleigh to your panel. 
  • White heat emboss onto black card your sentiment, cut to size and then add between your trees. 
  • Mount your completed panel onto a Slimline card base. 
How adorable is this card?! 
Card 2 Mini Slimline Card
This is an, "I miss my family during the holidays", kind of card. 

  • Trim a watercolor panel 3 inches by 6 inches. Splatter masking fluid over it and allow to dry completely. 
  • To create your background, use Distress Oxides, Tumbled Glass, and then Broken China. Next use Seedless Preserves around the top edges and finish off with a little Black Soot . 
  • Stamp and color four trees, and the snowmen trio. Add a white gel pen for highlights. 
  • Position your stamped images on your card (but not glue down). Cut out a ton of snowflake dies in Holo Waves and set aside. 
  • White heat emboss on black card your sentiment. Trim. 
  • Play with the position of your scene, the snowflakes, the trees and snowmen, as well as your sentiment. 
  • Adhere onto a mini-slimline card base, 6.25 inches by 6.25 inches. 
This card is so sweet and with the world still in chaos, I miss my family so very much. My beautiful Niece is already 2 years old and I've not been able to visit, although we video chat regularly, it's just not the same. Living 6,000 miles from your family has it's trying moments but I continue to be grateful for all that I have. 
Do you have a favorite card? I can't decide so choose both, haha! 
The sentiments in this set are particularly awesome and I LOVE them In fact, I love everything about the set this month! 
As well as the stamp and die set, there is a mini-slimline envelope launching today! How cool is this?! One cut on your die cutting machine and you're envelop is ready to be folded and made up!
