Hello everyone!! I am zipping through all the footage and getting the voiceovers done finally! And of course MORE slimline cards - the obsession (and fun) is real:
This was my first portrait slimline card - all the other ones I've made so far have been landscape orientation. The only big different being they're a little harder (for me anyway) to photograph. Still super fun to make though.
I pulled out an older set again for this one: Simon Says Stamp's Bee Yourself stamp set. I had bought the coordinating wafer dies for it MONTHS ago and it's just been sitting and waiting to be used again.
I stamped the bees and hearts from the Bee Yourself set onto Bristol Smooth card stock with Nocturne ink and heat embossed them with Simon's Clear embossing powder. I used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush to color them in and then die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.
For the background I stamped the "honeycomb" images from the set onto more Bristol Smooth card stock and heat embossed them with Wendy Vecchi's Sunflower embossing powder. I used the Canary yellow Karin marker and a big paintbrush to color over them, added some splatter, and added white splatter (it's subtle but it's there).
I recently got the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics wafer die set so I used the stitched wafer die on the background, and then used the scalloped wafer die on some of Simon's Sea Glass card stock.
On the inside of the card I stamped the honeycomb with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink, and the hearts with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink. I added the last bee images I'd coloured plus another white heat embossed sentiment from the Bee Yourself set. I made a coordinating envelope from some Doodlebug patterned paper in my stash and the Trinity Stamps Slimline Envelope Builder wafer die set and that was it!
