Slim Pinpoint Burst Valentine by Jean Okimoto

Send big hugs with a glitzy, glittery pinpoint slimline design in a mix of neutrals and bright reds. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a simple, bold Valentine idea today.

Cut white cardstock with the 2.8" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die. Cut the rectangle with the Slim Pinpoint Burst Plate.

Cut two strips of the dark brown Earth Neutral 6x6 sheet with the second-smallest Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die. Attach the strips along the top and bottom edges of the rectangle.

Cut the red Glitzy Glitter Pad sheet with the second-smallest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.

Cut the bright red Polished Foil 6x6 with the smallest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die. Apply glue to the small heart and press it very firmly onto the glittered heart. The pressure and the glittered background produce a slightly textured surface - almost like hammered metal or rough concrete.

Cut the BIG Hugs greeting from dark grayish Majestic Hues Glitter Pad 6x6. Cut the background from light kraft cardstock. Pressure-emboss the backghround with the detailed greeting die. Embossing adds texture and makes it easier to attach the top layer - just add tiny dots of glue and press it into the debossed areas.

Attach the diecuts to a light kraft slimline card (3-½" x 8-½"). Add dark brown Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut a slimline-sized layer of cardstock to protect the card front if you're mailing the card.

I chose earthy neutrals for this guy-card - try it in shades of peach or pink with sparkly iridescent pastel Fairy Crystals for the gals. This basic design would also work as a vertical slimline.
