Close To My Heart's Slimline Cards with a New Thin Cut Die and Shaker Windows



We are getting crafty with slimline cards today!!

Slimline cards are a fun change from the standard, 4¼” x 5½”, size cards.

They’re long and narrow, typically measuring 3½” x 8½”, providing a much larger surface area on which to create a design.

One of my favorite Thin Cuts currently available from our January–February Catalog is the
 Diagonal Stripe Slimline die that cuts a beautiful diagonal stripe pattern, sized especially for the front of a slimline card.

Paired with a few simple techniques, it’s easy to create a wide variety of looks with this eye-catching pattern.

I hope that once you’re done visiting with me today, you will leave here feeling inspired and ready to create some of these beauties of your own!!



This first card has a gorgeous, somewhat fantastical galaxy, look to its background.



The card base was sponged with 
Distress Oxide inks and a Mini Ink Blending Tool, creating an exaggerated version of the colors that are most often associated with the northern lights (pink, green, yellow, blue, and violet).

The small, star-like spots are the oxidizing effect of the ink when we splattered it with water. When we finally layered the die-cut
 made using the Diagonal Stripe Slimline Thin Cuts, our out-of-this-world look was complete!!

The White Daisy lines from the die-cut look like a meteor shower!!

These next two cards take two additional approaches to using the
 Diagonal Stripe Slimline die.

The top card, even though it is more adorable than most store-bought cards, came together in a matter of minutes!!

We first covered the front of the card base with a solid piece of patterned paper, then layered the diagonal stripe die-cut, also cut from patterned paper, on top.

From there, it was a simple matter of weaving in stickers (from our
 Sweet Safari collection) through the diagonal paper strips.

Complete the card with a stamped sentiment on a solid color cardstock and embellish with more cardstock, gems, or stickers.



The background of this third, Congrats, card is a little more involved than the first two we’ve shown you so far, but it is still not difficult to achieve!!



We decided to back 10 of the open spaces of the die-cut with patterned pieces of paper, leaving the remaining spaces free for stamping later.

You know those scraps you just can’t seem to throw away?

Well, pull them out because this is a great way to use them!!

All you need are strips of paper that are large enough to cover the gaps.

We used 5″ long strips of patterned papers, between ¼” to a smidgen over a ½” wide, and attached them to the die-cut using adhesive only along the top and bottom border.

Then, we just trimmed any excess that was hanging over and attached the prepared die-cut, front side up, to a blank card base.

This last card we are sharing with you today is a show-stopping,
 slimline shaker window card!!



Follow along with our Creative Arts Manager, Karen Pedersen, in the video below to see how this endearing card comes together.

Several of the pieces, including the two top frames, were cut using our Cricut
 Art Philosophy collection and Design Space’s Basic Shapes.

You can find all of our exclusive Close To My Heart Cricut Collections on my Cricut Affiliate Link ... HERE!!

Here are the exact dimensions and papers needed to recreate this adorable shaker card.

Please Note: The X6050 Flamingo Cardstock Piece had an error ... it is 8 1/2" x 2" ... not 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".



If you’d like to duplicate our example card exactly, you will need the following materials:

1 – slimline card base
1 – 8½” x 3½” Party Time pattern paper
1 – 8½” x 2″ Flamingo cardstock
1 – 7¾” x 2¾” Distress Watercolor Cardstock (on Design Space file)
1 – 8¼” x 3¼” scalloped Ballerina cardstock rectangle with cutout squares (on Design Space file)
1 – 8″ x 3″ scalloped Flamingo cardstock rectangle (on Design Space file)

Close To My Heart Artwork Tip: Create Words from Stamped Letters



Close To My Heart Artwork Tip: Create Words from Stamped Letters

Create a variety of words - like "Love," "Hope," "Joy: and "You," -
using the large letter stamp images and dies in the this set.


Embellish the "O" in each word by layering it over the floral wreath shape designed just for that purpose.
