This was my first attempt at a slimline card and all I can say is…why did I wait so long!!! I think my first thought was (and always is) how will I mail it? Well, it turns out that it will fit in a business sized envelope… or you can make a custom envelope to match … that is just as easy and will make the card giving even more enjoyable! 

And that is exactly what I did during my Facebook Live last week. You can see the YouTube video replay at the end of the post for the step-by-step!

I featured the Artistically Inked Bundle for this project mainly for that gorgeous background stamp that is in the set and also for the beautiful dies that both work wonderfully for a card of this size.

The card  measurements are as follows:

• Basic White (Thick) CS Base: 7 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ – scored at 3 3/4″
• Pale Papaya CS: 8 1/4″ x 3 1/2″
• Basic White CS: 8″ x 3 1/4″

The custom envelope was made from one basic 11″ x 8 1/2″ piece of card stock. I used Pale Papaya to coordinate with the colors used for the card. Here are the scoring directions for the envelope:

• On the 8 1/2″ side – score at 2 1/2″ and 6 1/2″
• On the 11″ side – score at 1 1/2″ and 10 1/2″

Here is the YouTube video of the Facebook Live replay from last week! Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card projects and will give a slimline card and custom envelope a try! Have a wonderful day!
