Making Valentines with New Slimline Essentials

Happy Valentine’s Day Slimline Card

I’m jumping on the Slimline Card Craze with the help of the New Slimline Essentials Die Set

from The Maker’s Movement.

What’s a Slimline Card?

Basically, a Slimline Card is a tall card that fits into a business-size envelope.

The Slimline Essentials Die Set takes all the guesswork out of cutting the layers and makes

assembling your card a breeze.

Directions:

Die-cut all the layers for the card using the Slimline Essentials Die.
Cut three white scalloped squares.
Center the small square die in the middle of the scallop square. Put a small piece of washi tape over the die to keep it in place. Die-cut to create a small scalloped frame.

Place a piece of double-sided craft foam onto the square foam cutter die to cut small foam squares to use under the scallop frames.

To Create a Center Shaker Element.

Adhere a small piece of clear acetate to fit over the opening of the frame.
Because the foam frames didn’t match the frame I created, I cut the foam frames on the corners and placed them over the acetate.
Using only red and white heart sprinkles, fill the inside of the frame with the sprinkles. Be careful not to overfill so that there is room to shake.
Remove the protective lining on the foam and place a small piece of scrapbook paper over the foam.

Embellish the front of the card using hearts popped up with double-sided adhesive foam and the word “love” die-cut using the “Special Delivery” die set.
