  With all of the different sizing of cards out there. Today I am sharing an A2 card, measuring 4.25 x 5.5 inches, and a mini slim card, measuring 3.5 x 6 inches. The exact same products and design were used on both cards. Its super fun to have them side by side like this.  Mini slim line cards are a smaller working space, but not as intimidating as a full sized slim line card. It can feel overwhelming to fill up all of that space, especially if you are not into making scenes.  Some don't desire to make anything other than a traditional A2 card, and that is perfectly fine. For both cards, the dahlia was stenciled in blue, in the left corner. The sentiment was stamped in black, and the flowers were diecut using orange and yellow cardstock with green leave. To embellish the black bits and pieces were added with glue.  Head on over to the Taylored Expressions website today as all Mini Slim items are 30% off.

Hello friends! Boy is it freezing here in Florida! I am currently dreaming of warmer weather but since  it is winter, I have brand new products from Lawn Fawn to share with you.  There is a new die set called Candy Hearts, and they are stitches along the edge and then have cute sayings on the inside and then one of the dies is a solid heart. I started by applying ink onto white cardstock until I was happy with the color. Once the ink dried, using the heart dies, I die cut the card stock and placed the diecuts aside. Using the portrait heart backdrop die, I diecut a piece of vellum. I then used the vellum as a stencil, and applied the same ink to the card front. The stencil was slightly moved, in between applying inks, to get both colors to show up. Head on over to the Lawn Fawn blog, to see all of the wonderful projects using this new product.
