A Chic Slim Line Card You’ll Love To Learn How To Make

#slimlinecards #greetingcards #txstampin
WooHoo! I’ve got a chic slim line card you’ll love to learn how to make. Slim line cards are all the rage right now and I’ve got a bonus teaching you how to make an envelope for this creative card idea too.
I LOVE how this slim line card design turned out and making the coordinating envelope is easy and fun.
In case you are wondering.... if you are here in the U.S. and mailing your card first class then the postage should be just one stamp (like any other card) as long as you don't decorate the front of your slim line with thick embellishments. It's a letter sized envelope you're creating. If you add embellishments to your card front then the postage may be more (anything over 1/4" requires additional postage). Now...back to our slim line card discussion...
The Boho Designer Paper (from the Boho Indigo product medley--one of my favorites!) was absolutely perfect for this slim line card. Use whatever paper scraps you have on hand that coordinate with each other. Each strip is 1/2" wide.
Slim Line Card Video Tutorial + Bonus Matching Envelope! This slim line card has so many fun elements! The card size is fun and different from the traditional A2 size, it's a great way to use your paper scraps to decorate the front and then get creative with what embellishments you want to use to finish off your card. I've got all the details you need including how to make an envelope for a slim line card in this video tutorial.

I make my envelopes out of odd ball paper that I’m not likely to use on a card but that somewhat coordinates with the card I’m putting in it. This helps lighten the weigh the card.

I have made slimline cards, but not using strips like you showed today. I will definitely give this a try. I have made the envelopes before and was thrilled you followed the same method I did. I saw someone else on You Tube showing this envelope and it does work quite well. Thanks!

[@TxStampinSharon]

So glad that you enjoyed my card and envelope today! Such a different card for me! I am glad I inspired you to make one using strips of DSP!

[@veronicajohnson2303]

Love this card

[@TxStampinSharon]

Thank you!!!

[@inekegeernaert801]

Oh, it's just like Delft Blue ceramics. I love the Boho Medley, but it's still beyond my means. Actually, in our monthly team Card Swap, we had to use the Herringbone strip layering technique. I struggled, but did it. Perhaps I've been too eager: making it today is sitll well in time before I have to send mine off. Actually, I made several Slim Line cards already. In The Netherlands, we need to weigh our mail and using that much card stock would make yours, although beautifully done, far too expensive to mail. Thanks for sharing, Sharon!

[@TxStampinSharon]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you were inspired with my card today!

[@mkathrynblacker5960]

Really nice card, Sharon, I love it. ☺️ I think it would be fun to revisit creative and unique ways to create stand-alone gift card holders. Something fancier than just an extra card stock scrap inside a card... I remember doing several different kinds of these 15-ish years ago and they were so fun and creative. One was made with the a2 sized envelope folded somehow, and another one (made with cardstock) was triple folded - kind of like a mini wallet.They were so cute! Of course, I can't remember how to do any of them now. LOL

[@TxStampinSharon]

Oh! I think I remember those! Well, now you have my head spinning! Thank you, I will have to see if I can make one! It would be great for gift cards or holding cash! So glad the you enjoyed my card today!

Hi, Sharon! I have made many slimline cards years ago, but I haven't jumped on the slimline craze yet this year. I have the Boho DSP and your card today has nudged me to use it and make a card similar to yours. Thanks for your creativity and motivation. Have a great day!

Fabulous card Sharon, I’ve made at least 6 slimline cards and love them. It’s funny because I cut some strips from my Boho Indigo DSP the other day but didn’t think to use them this way but I definitely will try this, it looks great. 🌸🌸🌸

Beautiful! I love doing this technique. A hint I can give you for the ribbon is to cut the fold and then cut one of the ends to a different length to reduce the thickness. Thank you for all the videos that inspire so many.

Hi Sharon! Nice to see your face. I’ve been making a lot of changes in my house. My old home office has become a sewing/colorist room. I still have my art room too! We’ve been investing a lot this year in our backyard. All new sod, a raised garden, some new trees, and the creme da le creme, Roy is just finishing my new outdoor kitchen. So busy, but the holidays feel like they’re almost on top of us. I’m particularly interested in some designer papers for Christmas. I also have some old ink pads that I need to check about reinkers for. How much do reindeer’s and stamp pads and the markers run? Any must have Christmas stamps, dies, et, al? Thanks for your time to bring me up to speed, Sharon. I hope you and yours are safe and healthy. All my best, Deb

[@TxStampinSharon]

Sounds like you now have your own space! Love that you are gonna have an outdoor kitchen!
