Christmas Tri-fold Slimline Card

 Hello my Crafty Friends! Candice here and I hope you are enjoying your holidays this year and I have one more Christmas card for you today!

I wanted to see how a slimline would work for a tri-fold card and I am loving how it turned out, what do you think?!

I began my slimline tri-fold base by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 9x9 and scoring at the 3" and 7" to make the final size 4x9.

I then trimmed two pieces of gold shimmer cardstock 2x9 and adhered to the two flaps.

Next, I took the four smallest Stitched Square Frame dies and taped them together.  I then ran it through multiple times from a variety of green and red cardstocks.

I trimmed three white squares to glue the pieces on and adhered in an alternating pattern.

I glued these onto the front, starting with the center to line them up, and trimmed the edges off.

To finish, I die cut multiples of the Christmas sentiment making the top one from gold foil cardstock.  I topped it off with a couple of the little trees from the new Winter Landscape dies.

Whenever you have a new idea always try it!  You never know how it is going to turn out until you do!

Next time you create try doing a card with just dies, it is a fun challenge to see what you end up with!

Thank you for visiting with me today and happy holidays to you!

Merry Christmas

Hello crafty friends, it's Kerstin here!

Today I have very special christmas card for you. It's a more elegant one. I hope you like it.

 

 

 

I love to use different techniques. This time I used my quill foil pen for transferring the stamped image.

  

 

• stamp the image on gold foil
• place the foil on your panel and hold it in place with some washitape
• trace the stamped image with the quill foil pen
• remove the foil and heat emboss the sentiment
• ad some splatters onto your panel

We love to see your creations. Please use the hashtag #createasmilestamps when your are sharing your projects on instagram.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
