Thank you for stopping by today. I have a awesome project to share with you. Hopefully it will give you inspiration to create your own smile mail. Sharing another Slimline Card, these are so much fun to create. I decided to use Designer Series Paper this time as a back drop and the Artistry Blooms DSP is perfect for this.  To create this card design, I started with a 8 1/2" x 7" piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock and scored at 3 1/2. The Artistry Bloom DSP panel is  3 1/8" x 8.5". I used the large sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays onto a panel of Whisper White and punched the corners using the Detailed Trio Punch. Using dimensionals to pop it up I placed it in the middle of card base. To finish off the card I added four In Colour Enamel Dots to the corners. I can see many more of these Slimline cards in my future crafting. Give them a try and explore your creativity. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you enjoyed my card desi...
