We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Slimline Cards

Welcome to this month's We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop featuring Slimline Cards.  Slimline cards are the newest card making craze in the stamping community.  If you're not familiar with slimline cards, it's basically, a tall and slender vertical or long and skinny horizontal card that fits into a business size envelope.  Think of it this way, if a regular 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card is a wine glass, a slimline card is a champagne flute.  Your existing supplies like cardstock, stamps, Designer Series Papers, dies, and embellishments can all be used to create a simply stunning slimline card.  So let's have a toast to celebrate this fun new and exciting card style.

I used the Decorated with Happiness Bundle and Snowflake Specialty Paper to make a Christmas slimline card.

Make sure to come back to my blog tomorrow, October 2nd, for a video featuring this card.

Thank you for "buzzing" by today.  Please leave a comment before you "buzz" on to view all the beautiful slimline cards by my We BEE Stamping TEAM members.

Using a Stampin' Write Marker with water gives you a unique background and each one will always be different.

I wanted the background to be the focal point so I used a outlined stamp for the image and a simple greeting.

Here's another Halloween card using the Scary Cute Bundle from the Mini Catalog.  Can you figure out the Designer Series Paper strips I used?  It's from the Lights Aglow DSP.  Yep, Christmas themed DP.  I thought the gold print on black background would be great for a Halloween card.  What do you think?
