Slimline Card
Slim cards that fit in #10 business sized envelopes have been really popular online lately. I just noticed! Where have I been this year?
Your challenge is to make a slimline card and take something from my card sample or the video tutorial to use as inspiration in your card.
Tell us what you cased when you link up here ... was it the card layout? color scheme? theme?
You will see that I copied just about everything in the video when I made my sample. I was having a low mojo day ... but! Casing this card, got me crafting and I continued on to make a card of my own design.
At one of the last stamp shows I attended I was smitten with the Dare 2B Artzy booth. Lately Stamp & Scrapbook Expo has been holding virtual events with the vendors we would normally see at an expo. This video was from one of those "at home" events. If you want to begin watching the portion where she makes a slimline card, start watching at around 9:57. I thought her ideas were very cute so you may want to watch the rest of the video too.
Note : her slimline card may use different dimensions than others you see online. If you want to change the dimensions you may. I like this one because it fills the envelope nicely and after you make the card base, you have enough paper to make a nice card panel. She gives good instructions and measurements.

My card.
Have fun!
Note : while it appears I was a bit lazy because I just die cut my images from printed paper (love that about this line of stamps, dies and papers ... the dies match both the paper and the stamps!) ... and I was a bit lazy ... I did more stamping and die cutting on the inside of the card with a little grouping of shells and coral.
Challenge :
1. Make a slimline card. My measurements are 8 1/2 by 3 3/4 but you may use another popular size ... as long as it fits a #10 business envelope.
2. Use something from the sample card as inspiration and use it in your card. Share what you copied when you link your card up here.
Here is the 2nd card I made that day, once my mojo was flowing. The manatee and otter were die cut from printed paper. The shells and coral were stamped and die cut.
