~Fruit of the Spirit: Slimline~
July 13th, 2020 by Holly McMillen
If you know me, you know I love a challenge. Back several years ago, I would spend every morning doing the challenges on Splitcoaststampers. I slept worse then than I do now, which is horrible. And quite honestly, back then I thrived on comments. My self-esteem is not nearly as fragile now. 🙂
This week, the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store design team has been challenged to make a slimline card. These tall/skinny/long cards are meant to fit in a #9 envelope. My card is 8.5″ x 3.5″.

My first thought was that it was a lot of ‘landscape’ to cover. I went back and looked at the only other slimline card I made (June 2007). I actually inspired myself! Ha!

I did a lot of cutting on this. It was worth it, though!
~*~*~
I used:
Stamp Simply Clear Stamps – Fruit
Stamp Simply Clear Stamps – Fruit of the Spirit
Prima 6×6 – Fruit Paradise
Spectrum Noir Ultrasmooth Premium White cardstock
Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink
Enamel Dots
Baker’s Twine – pink/white
1/4″ ScorTape
Thermaweb 3d 1/4″ foam squares
other:
Pink cardstock
8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
(Fits in a #9 envelope)

I finished off the inside with a verse. Lots of room for a personal message.

Thanks for stopping by!

What a beautiful card, Holly! I love the pretty pink gingham and the fun way you stacked your fruit. The enamel dots and baker’s twine are the perfect finish!!
