Slimline cards are all the rage right now so today I thought I'd try my hand at it. I love this style of card! It's such a pleasant change from A2 cards.
This card will fit into a business envelope, but if you're anything like me you'll want to make your own - and it doesn't need the envelope punch board.
Card Base: Soft Suede card stock 7 by 9" scored on the 7" side at 3 1/2". Fold on score line and burnish with a bone folder
.
Papers:
- Very Vanilla 8 3/4 by 3 1/4" (2 pieces - one for outside; one for inside
- Poinsettia Place DSP 8 3/4 by 3 1/4" cut into 2 triangles. Adhere one triangle onto the Very Vanilla layer. Cut a 1/8" piece of Soft Suede card stock and adhere to edge of DSP. Add to Very Vanilla layer then adhere to card base.
- Old Olive - die cut pine branch - large one for outside; small one for inside
- Soft Suede scraps - die cut 3 pine cone bases
- Crumb Cake - die 3 intricate pine cones and adhere to cone bases then adhere to pine branches..
- Very Vanilla 3 1/2 by 2 1/2" for sentiment
- Soft Suede 3 3/4 by 2 3/4" to mat sentiment. Add to card front
Inks:
- Stamp sentiment first with Versa Mark ink and then Soft Suede ink on 3 1/2 by 2 1/2" of Very Vanilla card stock. Add clear embossing powder and heat with embossing tool.
Accessories:
- Beautiful Boughs die
- Dazzling Diamonds - add to pine cones
- 3/8" Old Olive ribbon
- Clear Embossing powder
There are several tutorials on how to make the envelope for this slim line card. The one I used is here
I used some retired envelope paper from Stampin Up but coordinating DSP could be used. The envelope paper was cut to 8 1/2 by 11".
