Slimline Sunday meets Snowflakes


This week’s Slimline Sunday card was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #FMS704. I just loved the circles I immediately envisioned Bokeh vibes. I stretched the sketch to be slimline and turned to be landscape to fill the space.

Over at Inspire.Create stamping challenges #IC201 was inspired to use Blues and Greens. I have chosen to play with Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam.

Sweet Stampin’ has the prompt to use dies so I am playing with my Sunshine Kisses Dies.


Also playing with Greetings for You ephemera and Iredescent Faceted Gems.


I wanted to keep my design clean and simple so opted to create a DIY Bokeh background using masking techniques and a DIY stencil using window sheets and circle dies.


My sentiment was chosen from Greetings for you ephemera was a little starker white than I wanted against the snowflakes so I blended it with some Soft Sea Foam.


The added iridescent faceted gems add a pop of shimmer. I love the finished product!


Have you attempted to embrace the Slimline style? I admit A2 is my default go too but I am enjoying pushing myself outside that comfort with the slimline and fancy folds cards.

Fancy Folds on a Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fancy Folds on a Friday. Today I am playing with a centre pop up fold.


My design took inspiration from the Festive Friday Challenge - World Cardmaking Challenge #FF0193. I have chosen blue, pink/purple, rhinestones, a fun fold, patterned paper, colouring and a thinking of you “I’m here for you” sentiment from the inspiration list.


I’m playing with my Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and dies with the Watercolour Bokeh DSP the Fresh Freesia and Balmy Blue colour palette with some Frosted Iridescent gems.


The centre pop up was the perfect fold for the butterfly focal image.




I’m always looking for a new fold to try. What’s your favourite fold for cards?
