Slimline Holly Christmas

Hey cardmaking friends and welcome back.  Today I am sharing my last Christmas Card made with Picket Fence Studios Products for this year.  Slimline Holly Christmas.  I combined all my favorites on this card so it’s packed with interest, layers and bling.  I hope you like it.

 

I have a SLIMLINE CARD PAGE will all the details for making slimline cards and tons of inspiration cards too.

Yes, all the things on one card, haha.

Creating the Slimline Holly Christmas card:

Start with a 3-1/4 x 8-1/4 piece of white, cut with the Slim Line Die Cutting System.

Lay the Slim Line Basket Petals Stencil over it and use the Life Changing Brushes to add Distress Oxides through the stencil.  I used Salvage Patina, Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles and Black Soot.

Next, Use the Misti and the Black Hybrid Ink to stamp the holly stamp into hammermill white cardstock.

Color with Copic Markers:

  • Greens:  Bg11, BG34, G19, G28
  • Pinks:  RV34, RV17, RV19, RV69

Use the coordinating die to cut out the holly and set aside.

For the Sentiment:

Die cut the Slim Line Merry Christmas Word Die in mirror gold, and two of the Blue spruce cardstock, stack them together.

Finally, Use the Sky Blue Paper Glaze Ombre, spread it across a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of white card and let it dry.

Cut out the Snowflake Lydia from it.

Layer the card front to a 3-3/8 x 8-3/8 mat in Blue Spruce (from Spellbinders) and then to a 4 x 9-1/2 white card base.

Use the Bearly White Glue with the fine tip to attach the paper glaze snowflake.

Next, over that, add the holly.

Finally, use the Bearly White Glue again to attach the sentiment.

Embellish with Oceans of Green Gem Mix.

  1. Nice work, Sandi!
    Funny, I was just viewing this holly stamp at SSS this morning.
    Like how it turned out, especially the berries.

  2. When I read your blog it’s like getting a card a day from you, but the Christmas blogs are theee best!
    I LOVE your work: it’s sensational & stunning; this card is a definite high class card. Sometimes I’d like to put all my energy into slimline cards….& no other cards either.

    1. aw thank you Sue. I love slimline too, and Christmas cards are by far my favorite to make as well, LOL. As you can tell, I have been trying out some new colors too, LOL.
