Slimline Happy Birthday with Trinity Stamps

Hi Everyone,

I'm sharing a slimline birthday card on the Trinity Blog today. And, I might be pushing it a bit, but I think that despite the use of pink, it can still be a good card for a guy (especially if he's a chef or likes baking).

Have a sneaky peek here, and head to the Trinity Blog to read more about the process of making the card.

I'm so in love with the Trinity gnomes, and I am so happy that more of them might be coming soon ;o)

Stay safe and crafty,

Mirella

Elegant and classy slimline wedding card

Hi Everyone,

A friend of mine is getting married today, in a bit of a different way than she imagined (loads of restrictions due to Covid-19).

I am really sad that I cannot be there with her, but I wanted at least a part of me to join her on her special day, hence I sent her a card made just for her and her soon-to-be-Husband.

I opted for a simple yet elegant design, I wanted something classy looking. The Foliage Frame die set by Trinity Stamps helped with achieving that in no time.

I used some pearl cardstock from my stash, and I also wanted to use gold elements, but couldn't find the right kind of paper... And then I remembered my own wedding invites, and that I kept some of the pages with wonky printing on them... One of the sides was still intact, perfect to use as a layer on a card!

And so, my friend is getting part of my own wedding with her card, which makes it even more special! <3 I hope you like it!
