Hi, crafty friends. I have a slimline card to share today, featuring the Advent Characters stamp set from Lili of the Valley. There are 12 characters in this stamp set, and I chose 3 for my card today. The penguin was a given, so was the reindeer, and I added the elf because I wanted something human like in there as well.

I colored the characters with Copics, fussy cut them leaving a white border, then added black glaze to their eyes and then a white dot on top with a Gelly Roll 05. Rudolph got special treatment with a little bit of Glossy Accents on his nose for additional shine.

I used the Slim Card Basics die set from Mama Elephant to create my window panel. I die cut one from Blueberry Sky cardstock from Papertrey Ink and four white ones that I adhered behind it for dimension. I die cut the bigger scalloped rectangle in the Slim Card Basics set from Spring Rain cardstock, also from Papertrey Ink, and adhered it to a white card base.

I used the Silhouette Snow Trees die set from Mama Elephant to create white trees to go into the window openings behind my characters.

I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Greetings stamp set from Lili of the Valley using Blueberry Sky ink from Papertrey Ink, cut it down to a strip, adhered a couple of additional layers behind it and glued it to the frame between two of the characters.

I finished off the card with a few pearls from the Glossy Porcelain mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.

I love dimension on my cards, and this one certainly has that.

Between the shine on Rudolph’s nose, all the blue and all the dimension, this card makes me happy. I just wish it was easier to photograph slimline cards.

I used way too many Copics for these three.
