More Creative Ideas Using December 2020 Slimlines & Alphabets Release - Week 1
JJ used 2 of 3 stencils from the Stripe Plaids Stencil Trio to create this great plaid background on kraft cardstock. The holly sprigs and Merry Christmas sentiment are die cuts. The white ink blended on the dark green cardstock gives this card a nice wintery feel.

Everything is coming up plaid. Arjita used the Buffalo Plaid Stencil Duo for the background in the traditional red and black colors. Gold glitter paper for her Merry Christmas die cut sentiment adds a nice touch of bling. The sentiment addition was heat embossed using white powder.

What a festive holiday/New Year's card. Natalia Copic colored her cute Fa-la-la images. She ink blended a rich blue background and added ink splatters and water drops for texture. The sentiment is heat embossed with white powder and what a fun idea to use the little decorative snowflakes and silver glitter paper strip for sparkle.

I feel like there is a party happening in this card :) Channin's background is so vibrant and fun. She used the Infinite Triangles Stencil to create this rainbow-tastic look. The gold embossing on the black cardstock is striking! Using the negative of the die cut numbers is a fun twofer because I'm sure she used them on another card.

Arjita's New Year card is adorable. She made great use of the Happy Gnome paper as a background. The Slimline Window Trio Die makes easy work of creating vignettes. I love these kids and cat from the Hello set. The sentiments are stamped in black.

Who doesn't love the slimline card size? Elyse used the Buffalo Plaid Stencil Duo with embossing! This creates such a modern look with that shiny plaid and the oversized Merry die cut in gold cardstock.

Another slimline holiday card! Jeanne used the Slimline Angled Panel Die to cut her white panel and the other 4 panels of colored cardstock. She inlaid the colored stripes to create a pattern. She die cut her letters for the sentiment out of white and gold cardstock. I like that she offset them a bit so that you can see the sliver of gold showing behind the white letters. She stamped her sentiment addition in black and added some white enamel dots to finish it off.

JJ created a graphic and modern holiday card using 1 of the 3 stencils in the Stripe Plaids Stencil Trio set. The black and white is really set off by the addition of the gold glitter square frame around the sentiment.
