Though the extra real estate on a slimline card is great for filling with little stamped images or a few more die-cuts, it’s also a fun way to extend your sentiments. This Hippo stamp set has several little phrases that you can easily piece together into a larger greeting, so I decided to place each part inside of some cute windows cut with some of the new slimline dies from Rubbernecker. I love how the windows act as speech bubbles!
COLORING THE IMAGES
- Start by stamping the images from the Hippo stamp set onto Bristol Smooth Paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.
- Color the images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. Colors used are:
- Pinks: Dark Pink, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink
- Purples: Violet, Light Violet, Lilac
- Teals: Persian Green, Turquoise Green, Blender
- Yellows: Bright Yellow, Yellow, Pale Yellow
- Blues: Persian Blue, Shadow Mauve
- Grays: Gray, Light Gray, Blender
- Die cut the images out using the coordinating dies.
CREATING THE SLIMLINE CARD BACKGROUND
- Die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Slimline Scallop With Holes Die to create the border and the Slimline Inside Scallop With Teardrop Die to cut the windows.
- You can run these dies through separately or at the same time depending on your diecutting machine and personal preference (I cut both at the same time).
- Trim a piece of aqua cardstock to 3.25″ x 8.25″.
- Placing the slimline die cut background over top for proper positioning, stamp sentiments from the Hippo stamp set into each window on the aqua cardstock with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.
CARD ASSEMBLY
- Adhere the stamped aqua panel to the center of a side-folding slimline-sized white card base (measuring 3.5″ x 8.5″ when folded) with tape runner.
- Pop the slimline die cut background up on top with foam adhesive.
- Add the stamped and colored images around each window using foam adhesive.
- Adhere a few clear sparkling sequins around the images using strong liquid glue.
I hope you enjoyed this bright and cheery slimline birthday card and thanks so much for stopping by today. Be sure to check out Rubbernecker Stamps on Instagram or visit their Facebook Fan Group for tons of inspiration!
