Hello Friend, Mini Slimline Card

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to and non Fold Friday here on my blog. Today I'm sharing the Mini Slimline card I sent to a friend for Happy Mail and all the details are in my YouTube video:  

I used 'That Paper', which this particular friend sent to me as a Random Act of Kindness. It's available at Hobby Lobby and of course we don't have HL in Canada. I absolutely love this paper and make sure to USE it and not HOARD it as I would normally do with paper I love but can't replace when it's gone.  NOTE:  It's referred to as "That Paper', as a talented paper crafter Bette Manning uses it a lot and shares her beautiful creations on the Facebook group Stamp Junkies. She started a full on craze using 'That Paper', which is how I became aware of it in the first place. 

I die cut the Mini Slimline Foliage Frame (linked below) from 'That Paper', and adhered it to a white card base. The butterfly was stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder onto vellum. I added colour in the centre area with water based markers spreading the colour with a water brush then Wink of Stella for lots of shimmer.

Inside I created a simple box pop up to add the stamped oval and more butterflies to. Not one to waste pretty paper, I added a leftover piece to the top edge.  Note:  HERE is a link to my tutorial on creating a simple box pop up - once you get the hang of it (it's so easy - I promise!) you can vary the measurements of the platform to work with the card size you are creating.

I wrote my note on the white panel which has a lovely embossed edge, and added more of the patterned paper to the envelope.
