Slimline Valentine Card + Video
Hi crafty friends! It’s Mona here, today I am sharing a sweet, calorie free slimline inspiration featuring the All My Love stamp and die set, the Valentine Hearts stamp set, and the new Slimline dies.
Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I created this cute, heart sugar cookie box looking slimline card.

I started the cardmaking with die-cutting. I created heart shape die cuts in pastel colors with the smaller heart shape die from the All My Love set as well as light brown hearts with the larger one.
I have also created one more die-cut with the smaller heart die as a template for speeding up the stamping and heat embossing process. Then I stamped on the heart die-cuts with watermark ink and heat embossed with fine white embossing powder.
Next, I created shadows on the hearts with Distress Oxide Inks. I picked a slightly darker color then the current die-cut color. Check this process in the video here. When it was done, I have created the highlights too with white pencil and pen.
After this I adhered the heart die-cuts together and created the card base with the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows and the Slimline: Scallop Frames dies. These two dies work perfectly together. I have created a soft teal die-cut with the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows set. I made a quick ink blending on it through the Lattice Stencil with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. After the ink blending, I splattered on it with clear water.
In the end I embellished the card with White Hearts Clay Confetti. It’s just a nice addition to the cards.
Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.
Hugs, Mona
As soon as I saw your card without reading I said those look like Sugar cookies. Wonderful video on how you created this card. I love the look. I like the idea of mini slimline cards. I will have to check out the dies.
