Slimline cards seem to be trendy now among cardmakers. As you know those cards are long and narrow and can fit into a #10 envelope. So today I am sharing a slimline card featuring some products that I have used for other projects in the past like the Lucky Clovers Die Set and I am also using a fabulous product featured in the new Spellbinders Catalog called Plaid Company Embossing Folder.
Good Luck Slimline Card

The amazing MMH of July features a lots of cool products perfect to create under the sea themed projects, take a look:
Using Hero ArtsOrchid and Indigo Bold Inks I created a two color background. I used a sponge dauber to achieve an ombré effect. After that, I die cut the the pretty Underwater Pillar Window Die from it. I took a shortcut to create this shaker card, because I used a clear pocket envelope which I filled with green confetti and some gold sequins instead of creating it with acetate and foam tape as we normally do. Although, the sequins and confetti don’t move around as much as a normal shaker card. The envelope comes with a sticky back, so I stuck it over a folded card. Then, I simply affixed the window shape over it with a few foam squares.

Next, I used the Deeply in Love stamp set and matching frame cuts to create the dips diver and algae foliage. Notice that I use a bit of marker details over the diver, just so the image doesn’t look so flat. I adhered the stamped images over the card with glue dots and foam tape and I complemented the card with a stamped sentiment, sequins and some tiny hearts that I cut using the HA Nested Hearts.
Card #2 showcases the Submarine Fancy Die. So, I die-cut the submarine from four different colors of cardstock and using detail scissors, I trimmed off different parts of the shape, kind of like assembling a tiny puzzle. I put the pieces together using craft glue.
Then, I made a few strips from different colors of cardstock and I adhered them over a white panel to create a striped background. After that, I simply adhered the panel over a folded card and I adhered the submarine with foam tape.
Additionally, I stamped a sentiment from theDeep Sea Messages over white cardstock and I die cut it into a circle. I want to point out the this stamp set was designed to go with the HA Peek-A-Boo dies, but of course you can use the sentiment and images to create whatever your heart desires 😉 Finally, I simple adhered some Blues Hero Hues Enamel dots to complement my card.

I made a few projects using my tags and boxes but I also made a card that coordinates with the gift box. The tags can be also used to create the focal point of cards if you want to, it is up to you!
These food grade takeout boxes ( 5″ x 4″ x 2 1/2″) in coated kraft-colored chipboard are just perfect to fill with some yummy goodies.

Hello there! Quick post today sharing a card featuring a Fun Stampers Journey stamp set called Hit the Road. This set can be used to create cards as well as scrapbooking projects…
I used the main image along with a sentiment for this card. The vintage truck image is perfect to color and in this case, I stamped it onto River Stone Carstock with Black Licorice ink. Then, I colored it with my Journey Color Burst color pencils, using the Whip Cream color pencil at the end to add some details that give the truck a bit of dimension (according to me 🙂 )

Next, I created the Whip Cream panel using the Gilded Nested Rectangle die sThen, I created the Whip Cream panel using the Gilded Nested Rectangle die set, which basically are rectangles with beveled corners… they look really really nice! So, I simply stamped the route map image with River Stone ink over the rectangle. After that, I adhered the panel and truck over a Rock Candy folded card, and I included a strip of Black Licorice Sparkle washi tape that I affixed with a few staples. I finished up this card with some sequins and a white-embossed sentiment over a Black Licorice strip.

We estimate June kits and add-ons will begin shipping on Friday, June 19, after all previous orders have gone out.”
Now, going back to the fabulous MMH of June, this one features a 4 x 6″ stamp set and a 6″x6″ cling stamp along with dies and other great products perfect to create amazing projects for Summer, take a look:
The kit includes: 4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set, 6″ x 6″ Northern Lights Cling Stamp, 3 Fancy Scene Dies, 10 Coordinating Frame Cuts, 2 5.5″ x 8.5″ Sheets of Black Handmade Watercolor Paper, Glow In The Dark Lacquer Pen, Shiny Silver Stars. The value of this kit is $74, but it can be yours for only $34.99… so this is really a good deal!
This month, there also some wonderful Add-On products, and with some of those, I created two cards that I am sharing with you today. My first card features Color Layering Howling Wolf Stamp set, Color Layering Howling Wolf Frame Cuts and two Fancy Dies from the main kit. I want to point out that the HA Color Layering stamps work amazingly well with the Misti Mini Hero Black, so keep the great tool in mind when you get any of the HA Color Layering stamps…

I used my Misti Mini Hero Black to stamp the wolf and Moon. I used three different colors for the wolf (Soft Brown, Soft Granite, and Intense Black) and two for the moon (Soft Vanilla and Soft Brown). The image is so nice with many details that make it so real!
For the background I used two of the Fancy dies included in the main kit. The mountains were simply die cut from light gray cardstock and the rocks from brown cardstock. This die is actually the die that has a light house, but I trimmed off the light house with scissors and I only used the bottom part as the base for the wolf. The rest, a dark sky, a white embossed sentiment and some sequins.
My second card features three Add-On products: Shine Bright Stamp set, Shine Bright Frame Cuts and the Shooting Star Stencil. Take a look:
For this card I created a subtle background using liquid colors and shaving cream. Then, I used the Shooting Star stencil along with modeling paste to create a dimensional impression of the stencil. I finished it up with some sparkle silk.
The pretty mermaid and dolphin were stamped with different colors of ink also using my Misti Mini Hero Black. I love this tool because you can create ombre effects so easily, and once you have it you want to use it all the time! Finally, I simply included a sentiment over a circle shape, and some sequins.
Hero will give away one $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, June 14th at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Hello friends! It has been a long quarantine here in Illinois but my crafts and my coffee keep me strong 🙂 So, today I have a quick post just to share a card that I made using Fun Stampers Journey products. The set that my card showcases is called Coffee Helps (and sure it does), take a look:
Be aware that my post includes affiliate links, which means that if you click on and shop through them, I will receive a tiny commission. Thanks!
I began by creating the background of the card which is a fun easy way to use Liquid Colors and I made a quick video of how to do it, check it out:
Then, adhered the background over a folded card. I stamped the coffee cups onto different colors of cardstock and die cut them with their matching dies. Notice that I stamped the heart of the light blue cup on the other two colors too. I adhered the cups over the card with foam squares, and I also stamped the sentiment. I fussy cut the two extra hearts and adhered them over the other two cups, then I colored them with Candy Apple Liquid Color. Finally, I simply added Journey Glaze details, which always make your cards stand out 😉 .
