Using layering dies to make mini slimline cards

September 12, 2021

The project that I am sharing today is this beautiful mini slimline card I made using a combination floral layering dies and mini slimline dies.

I do have a coordinating video for this project that you can find by visiting here:

I began this project by doing a bunch of die cutting. The floral dies that I used are the Climber Flowers die set from Altenew.  For my floral images, I decided to use the floral smooth cardstock from scrapbook.com. In particular, this cardstock paper pad features a beautiful assortment of floral tones to layer on my images. I really like the idea of using these coordinated cardstock paper pads instead of purchasing a ton of different colors of cardstock individually.

The most difficult part of the project was looking at the die set and deciding what dies needed to be cut from which colors. I found the guide on the front of the package to be very helpful with both choosing the right colors and layering up the images.

I then did a bunch of die cutting for mini slimline using the mini slimlines essential bundle from Pinkfresh Studio. I decided to cut 2 of the stitched rectangles from gold foil cardstock and the 2 coordinating basic rectangles from white cardstock.

For my sentiment, I selected a small hello sentiment which is from SSS. I did go ahead and cut the hello sentiment once in gold as well as a couple times from white so that I could layer it up and give it some dimension.

For my card base, I trimmed a piece of heavy weight white cardstock to 6×6 inches and scored it at 3 inches to create a side folding card. Once all of my card pieced were prepared, I began to assemble my project.

I used tombow mono multi liquid glue to adhere my die cuts and sentiments together. I like using liquid glue for small die cuts so that I have a few moments of “wiggle room” to help me get the best placement possible. For the rectangle layers on my card, I used a combination of foam tape and tape runner.
