Layering Hugs with Eden’s Garden for the Sisterhood of Crafters

Hi, Crafters! The Sisterhood of Crafters has a new challenge today – “Slimline Card” by Sister Lia. I really love making slimline cards but I didn’t have any ideas until I got the Layering Hugs die. Then, I used the word “Sending” from Eden’s Garden to finish off the perfect sentiment.

Once you finish here, I hope you visit our Sisterhood of Crafters Design Team gallery for some great inspiration and play along before the deadline of April 24th!

• Firstly, this slimline card started with Bermuda Bay cardstock, cut to 8-1/2″ x 8.” Then, it was scored at 4″ on the 8″ side.
• After that, I made a panel with the Pattern Party designer paper, backed with Poppy Parade.

Now, the FUN Part!

• Once I had the card base done, I started the focal point by cutting the Hugs intricate die with white cardstock. Then, I cute the HUGS letters twice, once with Bermuda Bay and Poppy Parade because I couldn’t decide which one would look better. As you can tell, Bermuda Bay one, so I just glued them to the Poppy Parade to give the letters a little more dimension.
• After that was done, I decided that there needed to be another panel between the focal point and the designer paper. So, I used a new slimline rectangle (Tutti-681) and dry embossed it with the Spellbinders Slimline Floral embossing folder.
• Once that panel was adhered to the card base, I adhered the HUGS piece down as well.
• Then, I inked up just the “Sending” from the stamp in Eden’s Garden and cropped it out with the banner die.
• Finally, I added just a bit of bling with the Hexagons.
