Two Slimline Cards for Divinity Designs

Hello! Today I'm on the Divinity Designs Blog with these two Slimline cards. (All of the Divinity Designs items used are linked in the Supplies below.) I have a walk through of both cards on YouTube:

First up is a bright Birthday Card that is also a Fun Fold! I used the new Slimline Z Fold Card With Layers and papers from the slimline sized Geometric Paper Pad. Below is how the card would look coming out of the envelope.

Using the Big Balloon die and coordinating colours of card stock I placed the two balloons inside that first flap so they would be hidden when the card is closed. You could stamp a birthday greeting on one (or both!) of those two inner balloons. I intended on doing that but the Divinity Designs order I had placed with Birthday sentiment stamps, was delayed at Customs and didn't make it to me before I had to take these photos.

The Slimline Z Fold With Layers comes with layering dies for three of the sections of the Z Fold Card, and if you want to decorate the other two sections you just need to cut the card stock or patterned paper from the back side instead of the front. I go over that more in the YouTube video. It's easy peasy to do, and is what I did for my yellow card stock layer.

When you open this Z Fold card two more balloons and a Birthday Sentiment are revealed! The yellow balloon is the perfect place to write a personal message and sign our names when I'm are ready to send this card in the mail.

I used black mirror card stock for the balloon strings and this cute frame. To create the frame, I nested two of the Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles together and I saved that fallaway piece from the centre as it also has a lovely stitched edge. I stamped the Happy Birthday on white card stock that was die cut with the larger of the two rectangle dies I used for the frame, which ensured a perfect fit for the frame.

Now for my second card - I am SO happy with how this one turned out! I knew when I saw the Slimline Flower Petal Background that it would make a beautiful Stained Glass looking card. Using the Divinity Designs Slimline Card Base** I die cut and embossed white card stock and set it aside while I worked on the Stained Glass Panel. After cutting the die from black card stock, I adhered a transparency to the back side and then a vellum panel behind that. I coloured the vellum from the back side using bright & happy colours, and when I was done I added it to the Slimline Card Base**.

Using the Double Stitched Circle die set, I cut a white circle and stamped the Raspberries and sentiment on it then added a couple of sequins for even more sparkle. That was popped up with foam tape and my card front was finished. In the photo below you can see all the shine you get from the transparency behind the Slimline Flower Petal Background.

Inside I used the Slimline Rectangles to cut a yellow and a white panel, embossing both so they have a lovely raised edge. I added some of the black fallaway pieces from the background die in two corners and added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella pen. Then I stamped the Raspberries again using a light colour of ink and finally, a single black sequin.

I hope you've enjoyed my March projects for Divinity Designs as much as I enjoyed creating them! I'll be back with more Divinity Designs Projects next month.
