Stencilled Floral Slimline Duo

Hello!  Today I'm sharing two Slimline cards I made to send out for Happy Mail. I took the photo above so you could see the difference in the Slimline sizes. The card on the left is my most used Slimline card size, 3.5 x 8.5".  The card on the right is the larger 4 x 9" size. Both fit in a #10 Business Envelope. 

I used some new items in my craft room ... a Slimline layering stencil set by Pinkfresh Studio (linked below) that also has a coordinating stamp. I didn't use the stamp for these two mostly because I was too impatient and couldn't wait to try out the stencils. What a quick and easy way to add a large statement floral image to your cards!

The butterfly was cut from pink foil card stock, and the Hello is from Crafty Meraki (also linked below). The floral panel got a spritz with my shimmer spray as well.

Here is a peek at the inside, where I added a punched butterfly and sentiments from Gina K.

The second card uses a different colour combo and has a pink foil matting layer. Note, I actually cut out the butterflies, Hey You and Hello from the centre area of that pink foil since the openings are hidden by the white stencilled panel. I hate to 'waste' specialty papers!

I have had the Hey You for awhile, but this is my first chance to use it. I am looking forward to playing with some more of my own products again, now that a lot of my Design Team work has settled down.

I decorated the inside similar to a Slimline Poppy card made last month. The pretty lacy element is from a long retired Stampin' Up set. It's such a lovely touch and I have to remember to use it more. Hmmmmm ... maybe I should just die cut a bunch of them from different colours and keep them on hand?

The bold Happy Birthday stamp is from Divinity Designs.

This idea would be pretty on the front of a CAS (Clean And Simple) card too!
