Snowman Slimline Card with Bonus Tags

So I've been getting into making slim line cards. 

These will fit into a standard size envelope. 

Was able to find some pretty nice dies on Cozyscrapbook for

9.00 each. 

I couldn't just stop with making the card front. 

Decided to turn the card into a tag holder. 

Added some pockets, and made a few tags. 

The double sided paper I used had some 4x6 printed panels

that worked really nicely as tags. 

Here is a closer look at the front focal image. 

Used colored pencils on the snowman. 

Just so thrilled with how this turned out! 

It was dry enough again yesterday morning to take a walk. 

First me, and hubby did some grocery shopping. My pantry

was getting a bit empty. But unlike poor Mother Hubbard's dog....

my kitty had food! 

Other than the daily walk, and the grocery shopping the day was

pretty dull. Played with the kitten a lot! I also

worked on a few journals that I have going. 

Oh that reminds me I also need to make my January artist trading cards. 

Suppose to rain/snow tomorrow so I'm pretty sure I'll have time to get some

projects finished.

First Slimline Cards

 Went to stamp with my crafty friend Betty yesterday afternoon. 

Tried making a few slimline cards. I've seen people posting them

on pintrest, and you tube videos. Thought they looked interesting. 

This first card was made using a Tim Holtz Halloween stencil, with 

different colors of distress oxide ink. 

The little spider is a rub on, and the Happy Halloween at the bottom is a piece

of chipboard ephemera. Thanks Betty for letting me use that on my card. 

Next card I made for Thanksgiving. 

I first did the stenciling with antique linen ink. Then used a dandelion stencil with fossilized amber, 

and peeled paint ink over the first stencil. 

Thankful was run through my die cutting machine with cardstock, and fun foam. 

I layered the cardstock word over the foam one then glued it to the card. 

Love the raised look! 

Last one I made is a birthday card. 

Again I used two different stencils with distress oxide inks. 

So I had fun making the slimline cards. Right now I have dies in my

cart from cozyscrapbook to use for making slimline cards. 

Don't judge me! Yes I'm getting more craft stuff! LOL
