Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: this is the latest DT commitment project for ConBC or Christmas or not Bingo Challenges. The bingo board columns Bb and Gg was used to create these cards. The Christmas card had been made for awhile but the white on white slimline card was a last minute decision. We've got 1 DT member on vacation and 2 columns hadn't been used by the members, so I thought I'd tackle one of those missing represented columns...column B
when: ConBC #15 starts on September 1, 2025 and ends on October 15th.
what: Project #1 = All white Christmas mini slimline card
and a 2nd scan trying to put more pressure but I think the results look almost the same:
how-to & vendor notes for #1:
1. white cardstock is recycled packaging
2. satin sheen paper = CutCardStock
3. white/diamond cut glitter with thin gold metallic edging "MC" dazzles/ stickers = Hot Off The Press
4. white glitter foam snowflake sticker = from pack = Crafter's Square
5. netting can in circles = from pack = Crafter's Square
6. string = old stash item
how Column B was used:
* mini slimline = base is 5.5" long and about 3" deep
*white on white = monochrome with cardstock, satin sheen paper, white/diamond cut glitter sentiment and white glitter foam snowflake + off-whites/old stash items = netting and string
* free = gold metallic edging on the sentiment
* netting or tulle = started as a circle, cinched in the middle and tied with string then trimmed short on each side in order to fit the mini slimline
* textured details = dimensional foam tape to life the 4.5" or less deckle-edge white cardstock layer, satin sheen paper, netting, string, distressed edges on base, snowflake and the raised gold edging on the sentiment words
