White Christmas Slimline Card

Hello!  This is a different kind of card from me, but you will be seeing it a fair bit now. Funny how your likes change over time! Last month I went to do a Design Team card share on FaceBook and saw that Rhea of R&R Scrapbooking was doing a FaceBook LIVE. I don't usually have time to watch them, but since I was still nursing the tendonitis in my right arm and had a cup of hot coffee sitting beside me - I sat and watched it.

Rhea mentioned having a Flash Sale on Creative Expressions dies, and showed a few of them as well as a lovely stack of metallic papers from Hunky Dory. Then she showed some beautiful cards she put together using one of those fancy dies and I have no idea why they grabbed me but they DID. I went right to the website and started scrolling. And 'adding to cart', ha ha.

These lovely edger dies from Creative Expressions cut on one edge only, so you can choose where on your card to do the cutting. I love having flexibility in a die like that. Because of that I knew how well they would work on Mini Slimlines and possibly Slimline cards too. Sold!

Here is the first card I made with one of the Creative Expressions Edger dies paired with metallic card stock - of course it had to be a Slimline card. While it's hard to see in the video, the white card stock is pearlized and also has a lovely shimmer.


Here is a look at the inside ...


In addition to the stamped sentiment, I added a pair of die cut snowflakes also cut from white pearl card stock.


... one more look ...

R&R Scrapbooking is out of Edmonton Alberta and I love to support Canadian businesses if I can. Unfortunately I am unable to link directly to products at R&R or I certainly would! I can provide a link to her online store there - click HERE. I have tried to find a different source for the White Christmas Edger, and linked it to Ecstasy Crafts for you - another Canadian business.
