Good Morning, all!!
Back again with another beautiful inspiration using slimline dies, lately released by Heartfelt Creations. Today, I have 2 cards to share in 2 separate posts where I will inspire you to simply chop and alter the die cuts to create various sizes of cards.
Here is the first one in which I create a simple square card by chopping 2 sets of die cuts and using only the fancy edges on both the sides.

The ready Ttop-fold card from smooth white cardstock measures, 6 1/2″ by 6 1/2″. To prepare the card base, cut 2 pieces of white cardstock measuring, 6 1/2″ by 7″ and 6 1/2″ by 6 1/2″. Take a 6 1/2″ by 7″ cardstock panel and score at 1/2″ on 7″ length and crease well. This will make a hinge on the panel to secure another 6 1/2″ by 6 1/2″ panel.
Next, choose a light green plainer paper from the designer paper collection and chop 6″ by 6″. Choose another coordinating paper and chop measuring 5 3/4″ by 5 3/4″. Mat a golden layer using Luxe gold cardstock making a delicate border of 1/16th” on all sides. Layer the panels as shown on the ready card base.
Cut 2 pieces each from white and gold cardstock using Slim Elegant Rectangle Die and glue the gold die cut on the bottom, creating a delicate shadow. Once dry, chop the filigree sides of the die cut and create a backdrop for the card front by layering the die cuts on all four sides as shown.
For yellow-golden vellum Lilies, Stamp the flowers on Vellum Flowerette cardstock using Hero Arts Versamark ink and sprinkle golden heat embossing powder. Dust extras in the funnel tray and heat set the flower petals. Cut the petals using its coordinating die. Color the petals using Mustard Seed distress Oxide and shape them using flower shaping tools. Form the flowers and prick the center to add Petite Pollen Stamens – Medium. Prepare 1 medium flower of 3 petals and 2 small flowers of 2 petals each. Also, white heat emboss the butterfly from Small Floral Butterfly Cling Stamp Set in the same way and cut it using its coordinating die. Color it using Wild Honey and Fired Brick Distress Oxide. Shape the butterfly a little with a needle tool for extra dimensions.
Stamp, color, and cut a few Wisteria flowers using Leaf Green Archival ink, color them in the center using the same ink and shape them using a flower shaping kit. Add flower beads using a glossy accent and use these flowers as fillers.
Stamp 2 sets of leaves using Leafy Accent stamp and Olive Green Archival ink and cut them using its coordinating die. Color the leaves using the same inks and shape them using a deluxe flower shaping kit. Once, all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and complete the card by adding a sentiment from Slim Eyelet Heart Rectangle Die
