One of the stamp sets in the new release is called Better Together Slimline Friends, although it's not just for slimline cards I must say. Had to think a bit on this one since I'm not a colorer. Here's what I did. First, a slimline.
distress ink, Copics, white embossing powder
Stamped the gang, colored small sections of each kid to bring in color, die cut matching balloons and heat embossed them with tiny sentiments and added "strings" and added a spot of distress ink to hint at grass and sky. Voila!
And since I've been bit by the pop up box card bug lately (check this out), I figured I'd make one with this gang.
Adds such a fun factor to card sending, don't you think?
Cut and scored white CS to make a 7x7x7 cm pop up box. Stamped it with a couple of the sentiments from the set. Added PP squares to the inside flaps, as well as a couple die cut elements to add to the love/fun factor.
Then on to the gang. I stamped and colored them like for my slimline card. Fussy cut them. Adhered them to plastic strips which I adhered to the inserts inside the box. Also added balloons with the tiny messages. And finally some "grass" (so glad I bought the herb scissors at Aldi last year! ;))
Check out all the makes with the products from the Love You, Too release in the gallery here. And don't miss the blog hops this weekend. Thanks for visiting.
I'm adding my card to:
SSS Wednesday Challenge - Layer it Up
Time Out - You (one thing about me... I'm really not afraid to try any technique, even though I'm not always the first on the bandwagon)

I guess you don't have to be a "colorer" if you can make beautiful cards like these, Maria!! Love them both!
Wow.. that's such a cool thing to learn about you Maria! You are so creative, always and what you did with these kids is fantastic. Amazing ideas, quite a twofer!! Thank you for joining us and showing a little you at Time Out challenges. Hugs ~ Ishani.
