This is my two card examples using the New Noel Mini Slimline Frame from Spellbinders Christmas Flourish Collection. I love this set and the beautiful cards that can be made with it. I show you how to make a mini slimline card along with a normal A2 card. I hope you like them and will try them out for yourself! As always all the products used are listed and linked below.

For the first card, I decided to do a mini slimline card in traditional Christmas colors. I used a base card that measures 6 x 3.5 inches. I then added a mat of green cardstock slightly smaller to give a white border around the edges. This was then adhered to the front of the card. I then cut two of the center pieces using both red and white cardstock and glued the white piece with the holes on top of the solid red so that the red showed thru the holes. This was then adhered to the card. Next I cut the middle section from decorative paper that I had in my stash. You could use anything you have. I cut two of the poinsettias from a darker red and red and green and glued them together as shown. They were then adhered to either side of the plaid panel.
Finally I cut the word Noel from white cardstock and one of the decorative swirls also from white. They were both adhered to the center most piece and I called it finished! I really am not a fan of slimline cards, however I do like the mini slimlines. I hope you like it too. It is a very clean and neat looking finished product. Here is the finished card.

The second card was inspired by the decorative paper I had in my stash. It had holly leaves all over it and the leaves of the holly was trimmed in gold. So because of that I started with an A2 card base and then added a mat of red cardstock slightly smaller so that the white border was showing. To that I added a mat of mirrored gold cardstock On top of that I cut a background piece of the printed paper. It was also an inspiration for my color scheme for the card. So next I cut a piece from red cardstock using the center-most die and then cut the holly from mirrored gold, red, and green, After glued together, They resembled the background paper which I really liked. Then I glued them to opposite corners of the red center piece.
The sentiment and the swirls were also cut from mirror gold and the swirls were attached to the other two corners and the noel was attached at the center. I then used a white gel pen to add highlights to my berries. Here is the finished card.
This card was a little hard to photograph with all the mirrored gold on it but believe me it is beautiful! I hope you like it too! Be sure to check back tomorrow when I will have another example from this fabulous collection!
