Happy Fri-YAY everyone. I made my first slimline card! And of course, it’s a Christmas card. Christmas cardmaking season is my favourite time of year.
Hello Bluebird’s October 2019 release stole my heart and I was in the process of placing my order when my husband says it’s his early Christmas gift to me! I must admit, I held back a bit because I didn’t want to take advantage of him. 😂 And he’s still asking me for my Christmas list!.. whaaat!? BEST hubby ever!!! 🤗 Check out my early Christmas gifts.
So not wanting to add too many of these to my growing unused list 😉, I used a variety of stamps to create this fun scene. All images were stamped with Copic friendly black ink on Copic friendly cardstock measuring 3.5”x8.5”. The finished card fits in a regular #10 envelope.
Started by stamping the kitty, masked it, then stamped the plane.
.
Next, stamped the squirrel, masked it, then stamped the penguin.
The remaining images were stamped on their own, then the whole scene, including the tree line and mountains, was coloured in with Copics. Snow was added with a white gel pen and the sentiment was white heat embossed on a black strip to finish.
This may be my first slimline card, but it won’t be my last. I had a lot of fun making this and love the fact that I can use so many products. Thank you for dropping by. Have a wonderful weekend.

I love a long narrow card, especially if you can put lots more of your beautifully colored images on it, Trina! This scene is adorable and so much fun!! Hugs, Darnell
I really like making the occasional long narrow card - it challenges you in a different way. Yours is adorable with the little creatures so excited to receive their gifts - a delightful card!
Trina, it's been so long since I made one of these shapes of cards, love the images flowing down the page. They are so cute :)
