International Woman's Day Slimline Card

Hello crafty friends...

Your Next Stamp is sponsoring a Blog Hop for International Women's Day and I wanted to play along. I've never made a card for this particular occasion but I knew just who I wanted to make this for. What a great day to celebrate WOMEN!!!


Slimline cards are popping up all over, and teammates on both my Karen Burniston Design Team and Your Next Stamp DT's have been making these Slimline cards for awhile. I finally made one and now I see why this size of card is trending in our community! You will be seeing more of these Slimline cards from me for sure!


I chose a lovely floral patterned paper and added some shimmer to the blooms with a glitter pen. The die cut YNS doily was lightly inked with a blending brush, and the sentiment was stamped onto a YNS Stitched Fishtail Banner. I stamped, die cut and coloured three butterflies, adding one to the card front and the remaining two inside.


The butterflies also got a hint of shimmer! I added a YNS Wonky Scalloped border to a strip of lightly patterned paper from the same package as the floral one and my card was finished. This gives me lots of room to write a personal message to the recipient.


Slimline cards fit in a standard business sized envelope, and right now I only have inexpensive ones from a dollar store. I am going to pick up some nicer ones soon though - especially if I'm going to make more of this size of card.

Remember to hop along, and leave comments on all the blogs for a chance to win some wonderful prizes from the sponsors. All the details and the Blog Hop order can be found HERE.
