Hey everyone! I'm way behind with all the things (story of my life as per usual lol), my laptop CRASHED crashed (it's happened here and there a few times over the past year, either Chris helps me to get it working or I've taken it in to be fixed) last week. Thankfully with the extended warranty I was able to get the battery and whatnot replaced and am back! I'm also hoping that was the issue causing the previous crashed but who knows - we'll see what happens lol. Doing videos for a living puts a lot of strain on my computer and i just fry them after a while.
Anywho - I accomplished ONE video on my old dinosaur of a desktop during this time. It's a night and day difference in speed and productivity (and hair loss as I pull it out in frustration - sort of kidding but not really). However it's done. I did it for the Honey Bee Stamps blog and then of course wanted to share it here with all of you:
These are mini slimline 3.25 x 6.25" cards.
Several of you have been asking me about "mini slimline" cards recently. I've had ideas simmering about them as this size intrigues me (I still love my regular slimline 3.5 x 8.5" cards, and A2 of course) so I thought why not give it a shot.
I used Honey Bee Stamps Love You S'More stamp set (ahhh so cute and y'all know I love punny sentiments) and the coordinating Love You S'More wafer dies.
I stamped the s'more image multiple times onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them in with Copics. I did the same thing with the to-go cut and doughnuts. I added white gel pen highlights to all the images and die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.
For the backgrounds I trimmed down some of Simon's Smooth White card stock and lightly ink blended Vintage Photo Distress Ink using one of Honey Bee's Background Blender brushes. I added some splatter with Ground Espresso Distress Ink mixed with a little water.
I white heat embossed sentiments from the Love You S'More set onto Dark Chocolate card stock and then die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies. I added them to the outside and insides of the cards and that was it!
I was asked about envelopes for this size - I'd use THESE ones from SSS. They released mini slimline envelopes in white, pink and yellow for their Love You, Too release and I have some here and need to get more!
