I plan on working on holiday cards at least once a month - so I'm just squeaking in with April's cards. Last month I shared a 5x7" card duo made with a lovely winter scene patterned paper. I saved the leftover pieces for these two Mini Slimline cards. You can see the other two cards HERE:
I do love shimmer and shine on a holiday card, so for these ones I added Rainbow Holographic card stock to the entire front of these these cards. Normally I would have cut away the centre of the card stock to use on a different project, but the patterned papers are quite thin and the edges of the cut away area below would show through. So I left it as a full size panel.
I just adore this large deer die, and cut it from white pearl card stock then lightly inked the edges with a blending brush and dye ink. I positioned the deer where they would be adhered with foam tape and stamped the sentiment, then I added the deer. Glitter dot stickers were added to each flank and some Pops of Color in a clear sparkle colour for even more shine.
I kept the insides clean and simple, with a stamped sentiment and holly leaf. Oh, and the sentiment on the front? The paper has a bit of a coating on it so I had to set the panels aside to dry for about 15 - 20 minutes after stamping the sentiment on the front panel before continuing with the cards.
