*Mini Slimline Instagram Hop*

 Another post from me this morning... this time for the Mini Slimline Instagram Hop.  I play with a group of friends on Instagram each month, sharing a mini slimline card.  We have no themes... just a love of the mini slimline size.  I, personally, like to play with a 6X6 piece of cardstock folded in half.  It's such a fun size to decorate!

 Hello friends...  it's time for the monthly Mini Slimline Instagram Hop!  No rules, no theme... just sharing a mini slimline card each month!

My card started out being for a different hop...  The one layer hop had a shimmer and shine theme so I started playing, completely forgetting about the idea of a one layer card.  As soon as I noticed my error, I put this card aside to make something else.

 Happy Canada Day, friends!  I'm going to enjoy a quiet day off today...no big celebrations for us.

I'm here with my card for the Mini Slimline Instagram Hop... no theme, just a mini slimline card.  I have had this paper for a few months and while I LOVE it, it does not work with my usual clean and simple style.  I honestly don't know what else to do with it but let it shine on a card front like this... but I *had* to buy it!

 I'm here today to share with you, the card I created for the June Mini Slimline Instagram Hop.  I used a few leftover pieces of patterned paper and added this fabulous moth that I fussy cut from another sheet of pattern paper.  I had trouble deciding where the sentiment should go...

 It's once again time for the Mini Slimline Instagram Hop...  no theme, no rules...  just a mini slimline card.

I had this pack of paper in my head after my Scraps Only card yesterday so I decided to play with it.  I cut the paper strategically to create this sunburst type of effect.  I added a layered up die cut sentiment that I sparkled up with Wink of Stella and finished it off with a sentiment strip.

 Such a quick mini slimline card for you today, made for the Mini Slimline Instagram Hop.  I used a scrap of pattern paper that is like 15+ years old.  I cut the front of my card a little smaller to create a little interest...

 It's time for another Mini Slimline Instagram Hop....  my creative friends and I all love making mini slimline cards, so we commit to making at least one each month to share in this hop.

I created a card a few weeks ago for the Pattern Paper Instagram Hop where I cut a rectangle out of a piece of fabulous 6X6 paper...  and there was this small part left that I just couldn't throw out... it was a little too small for my mini slimline so I played with some matted layers to create this card to share with you.

It's time for another Mini Slimline Instagram Hop... no themes for this hop... just sharing a mini slimline card each month.  This is one of my favourite card sizes to play with.  For my card today, I played with one of the left over pieces from the postage stamp die and stencil I used last week... I think it fit pretty well!  I added a little embossing for an extra punch.

 It's the first Wednesday of the month which means it's time for the Mini Slimline Hop over on Instagram.  I host this hop each month where some of my creative friends and I play with the mini slimline size of card.

For my card today, I chose to play with some of the papers from MVP Designs.

 I gathered up some of my Instagram Friends and created a new Instagram Hop.  Each month, on the first Wednesday of the month, we will be sharing mini slimline cards!  You all know that I LOVE a mini slimline, so this hop idea was the perfect fit for me.

For my card today, I am using the left over part of a stencilled panel that I created for THIS card that I posted a few weeks ago.  It was so pretty that I couldn't let it go to waste...
