I was watching Simon's live today and was THRILLED to see that they now carry beautiful, top opening self-adhesive slim line envelopes - I had to buy a bunch! IN MY FAVORITE COLOR - Audrey Blue! So excited. But there are other colors too.
Anyhoo - I have a slimline card and video for you today. I've been enjoying some simple, "make a card" type videos during all this craziness - it's not something I did a lot of before, but there's something relaxing about it right now that I'm enjoying - so I hope you are too - that's what today's video is. Just the start to finish process on this card.
It starts with the stitched slimline frame from this cute slimline scene-building die set. I just used the frame portion today.
Then I used these images and matching dies for the focal points.
I freaked out a bit when I got my order, because the embellishments I used today COME ALREADY IN STORAGE CONTAINERS AND LABELED! And it's for the system I use, which is this one. I might have shrieked! Zero extra work to put them away - I love this so much. Plus the embellishments are adorable, which you'll see in the video.
On top of the die cut panel, I ink blended this beautiful layering waves stencil in three ink colors with Life Changing Blender Brushes (inks listed below). Then I Copic colored the images extremely simply, and popped them up with foam dots, connecting the fishies to their balloons with silver cord - I have a little trick for making this type of thing very fast, that you'll see in the video.
I used these cute bubble embellishments. Stay tuned below the video for crafty sales and a delicious recipe!
I recently made a favorite recipe. This can be made with cauliflower or broccoli, and it's from one of my favorite websites! It's lemony and delicious - perfect for summer. I would have said perfect for a potluck, buuuutttttttt we all know that's not happening! So enjoy my modifications to the recipe and a link to the original here. Changes in red are mine.

Now for the food portion of the weekend!
What do you have planned for the 4th? We will be making ribs and these amazing crispy potatoes I posted about here and doing some huge house projects. No relaxing here! But possibly starting the week a little more squared away!
I hope you have a safe and happy weekend!
Loveyameanitbye.

Love the fish card! If course, I am a sucker for anything with a water/ocean theme. Pisces child that I am!
