OK now on to today's cards and video:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I used the Trinity Stamps new Slimline Boo's stamp set to make these cards. The main stamp with the ghosts is a slimline size - so it's about 3 3/4 x 8 3/4". I show in the video me using it with my big Memory Misti (it's a 12x12 Misti) but you could also lay a stamp like this face up and ink it up then press the card stock onto it.
After stamping the ghosts with Simon's Intense Black ink I did some quick colouring with Copic markers to add a little detail to the background. I used the large rectangle die from the Wonky Stitched Wilderness die set to die cut the backgrounds and add that fun stitching around the perimeter.
I used the 'bootiful' word from the Hello Boo-tiful die set and die cut it from orange card stock and the top layer from some of Simon's Flaming Orange Glitter Paper (LOVE).
On the inside of the cards I stamped the ghosts with Simon's Fog ink and then stamped a sentiment from the Slimline Boo's set with black ink.
I made coordinating slimline envelopes using some Doodlebug orange patterned 12x12 papers. I used both the Trinity Stamps Slimline Series Envelope Builder Die set and the Slimline Series Envelope Add-On set. You don't NEED both - I just ordered the Add-On die set because options lol. Plus the Add-on set includes dies to be able to make slimline boxes too which is cool .FYI the Add-on set does not work on it's own - you NEED the original Envelope Builder Die set. However if you have the original set you can make envelopes with it (as I've been doing since I got it) - the Add-on just gives you the option to make your envelopes side opening plus the box option.
To see how these cards came together plus how to make the envelopes check out my video below:
