Slimline Collection from Spellbinders

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve definitely jumped head first into the slimline trend over the past year…lately it seems like at least a third of my cards are this fun “new” size!  That’s why I was thrilled to have the chance to play with the new Slimline Collection from Spellbinders.  The gorgeous slimline background patterns, pretty floral accents, and big and bold sentiments inspired me to create four bright springtime cards for various occasions.

FLORAL THANK YOU CARD

The Blossoming Slimline die set is so gorgeous, I had to start with this piece from the collection first.  There are so many ways to create beautiful slimline card backgrounds with this die, but the large petals and leaves in the pattern were begging for me to color them!

FOILED CONGRATS CARD

I love how versatile the Slimline Confetti Background Foil Plate is!  You can foil it twice to cover an entire slimline card as I’ve done here, but it also nearly fills an entire A2-sized background when foiled once.  I used this pretty background to create a clean and simple congratulations card (perfect for graduation season!).

  • Mat the foiled background panel with gold cardstock.
  • Tie gold thread around each balloon end. Adhere the balloons to the background panel with foam adhesive, then secure the balloon strings behind the back of the panel before mounting on a top-folding 8.5”x 3.5” white card base.
  • Pop the sentiment panel up in the center of the card with foam adhesive.

MORROCAN FLORAL THANK YOU CARD

The Moroccan Kaleidoscope die set makes ornate slimline cards a breeze!  I used tons of layers to create a bright but elegant thank you card.

  • Die cut light purple and gold cardstock using the Outer Rim, Moroccan Insert, and Kaleidoscope Insert dies from the Moroccan Kaleidoscope die set. This will create two panels that have both the ornate background pattern and three shaped windows cut out.
  • Adhere the purple panel on top of the gold panel with liquid glue, offsetting them slightly to let the gold layer peek out a bit. Then layer this on top of a panel of white cardstock cut with the Outer Rim die in the set.
  • Die cut dark purple, gold, and white cardstock using the Kaleidoscope Insert dies from the set and layer them together using liquid glue.

  • Mat the background panel with dark purple cardstock and mount to a top-folding 8.5” x 3.5” white card base with foam adhesive.
  • Insert the kaleidoscope shapes in the windows of the background panel and adhere down with liquid glue.
  • Pop the foiled sentiment up in the center of the card using foam adhesive.
  • Arrange the layered flowers in the corners of the card and tack down with liquid glue. Add gold pearls to the flower centers if desired.

EMBOSSED FLORAL BIRTHDAY CARD

The Slimline Flora Embossing Folder adapts the pattern from the uber popular Simply Perfect Florets Embossing Folder for slimline cards and it’s the perfect modern background for a variety of occasions.  I used it here with some white-core cardstock to create a soft and pretty birthday card.

  • Trim aqua white-core cardstock to 8” x 3” and emboss it using the Slimline Flora Embossing Folder.
  • Lightly sand the surface of the embossed panel with a sanding block to bring out some of the details of the pattern. If you don’t have white-core cardstock, you can lightly apply ink or gilding wax for a similar effect.
  • Mat the embossed panel with gold shimmer and teal cardstock using tape runner.

  • Adhere the matted background panel to a top-folding 8.5” x 3.5” white card base with tape runner.
  • Pop the foiled sentiment up in the center of the card using foam adhesive.
  • Arrange the layered flowers and leaves around the sentiment and tack down with a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive for lots of dimension.
  • Add clear rhinestones to the flower centers if desired.
