I am excited to report that Stampin’ Up! now has Slimline Envelopes (#157981 | $10.00). There are 15 envelopes in a pack; five each of three colors: Soft Succulent, Basic White, and Smoky Slate. The inside has a printed design, a pretty flap, and they measure 3 7/8″ X 8 7/8″.
Today’s card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 7″, folded at 3 /12″, and fits the envelope perfectly. The Basic White layer is 8 1/4″ X 3″.
Driving By Slimline
I only needed to decide what would look cute on a slimline card. The answer: cars from the the new Sale-a-bration set, Driving By (#158099 | FREE with a $50 order). You’ll be able to order this set when the 2022 January-June Catalog goes “live” on January 4th.
First, I stamped the three cars in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I’ve had fairly good luck with my Scan N’ Cut on black & white stamped images, and it did a good job, with the exception of cutting off a balloon. The mistake turned into an improvement, because I like the way the balloon is flying away, don’t you?
After cutting, I colored the images with Stampin’ Blends in six colors: Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, and Smoky Slate.
The dotted roadway was cut with an Ornate Layers Die from another Sale-a-bration item, Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Paper (#158126 | FREE with a $50 order).
The colorful dots, presents, and balloons, called for a “happy birthday” sentiment. I used a Birthday Chick Die to cut the words from Basic Gray Cardstock, and glued the bottom of “birthday” to the top of the VW bus.
After attaching the cars with Dimensionals, my slimline card was complete, and ready to send in its perfect Slimline Envelope.
