Hello my crafty friends! Today I'm sharing two Mini Slimline Valentine cards, and I made them in both of the most popular Mini Slimline sizes! The red card base is 3.5 x 6" and the white card base is 3.25 x 6.25". I took a photo from the back side so you could see the difference. Both of these sizes fit in a #8 envelope or as they are sometimes referred to a 6-3/4 envelope. Those are readily available in Canada and the US.
Since I will be using lots of older products on my cards in 2022 I thought I would start with the new items on my cards. The resin hearts from Doodlebug are new in my craft room, and it's funny how a small item like that can inspire me to pull out older papers etc. Since I'm counting anything purchased in the past 6 months as NEW, the She Gnome (linked below) is also new as I got her back in October.
So the hearts inspired me to pull out the patterned paper/sticker package from Doodlebug that I've had for a couple of years and I was happy to see that it's still available to link for you. This is sort of a random package so you may not receive the exact same papers etc as I did - but then again you might!
I cut the She Gnome from three different patterned paper scraps, red VELVET paper from the Doodlebug package, then some Kraft cardstock for the braids and pale pink cardstock for the noses. Then I re-assembled the gnomes so I had three different ones and saved one of them for a card I'll share next week. I took some close-ups in the hopes you can see how pretty the red velvet paper is.
The labels I used on both cards are meant for scrapbooking. They came on a 12 x 12" sheet in the package and I just punched them out to use on my cards. Can't get much easier than that!
Here is the inside of the cards, decorated with more patterned paper bits and pieces. These are 6x6" scraps that I didn't have a cover sheet for so I don't know who makes them. But I always hang onto smaller scraps of pretty paper like this as I know I can use them at some point.
The red card features the Happy Valentine's Day die by Karen Burniston, cut from red mirror cardstock. The stamped words are by Waffle Flower which is included in the Sending Love stamp set from Waffle Flower and fairly new to my craft room.
