Slimline Card, What Size to Make

Image
  A slimline card (also called a tall card) is any size card that fits into a business sized envelope.  A No.10 sized business envelope is 9.5 x 4.125, so any card that fits into this sized envelope can be called "slimline." We have created a slimline card below that features our Koi Swimming Rubber Stamp along with our Lotus Rubber Stamp. The Koi are swimming on a blue background made by applying a light blue ink onto white card stock. The result it a beautiful card made for any occasion. To create this pretty card, create several layers of card stock. You will be cutting 2 diagonal lines on the top most layer to create an opening for the pond of fish. I will show you how below. You will need: Card stock (your choice of colors) I used white, blue, silver, and blue with silver embossing.

In the Clouds Tall Card and Free Clouds Template

Creating a tall card is easy. And we have so many retro cartoon stamp designs that are perfect to create birthday, anniversary, retirement or any fun celebration cards. Better than an A2 card size, a tall card's sizing allows for a layout of embellishments, sentiments and stamped designs which look extraordinary! For this project, finished card dimensions are 3.75 inches wide x 8.5 inches tall.  Tip: A tall card fits perfectly in a #10 business envelope (4.125" x 9.5") which is the most common sized envelope that you can purchase in any office section of a store.  I've included a free printable template (and optional free .svg file) for clouds since we are using our  "Sign from Above" Rubber Stamp . Tall Card dimensions (finished size):  3.75" x 8.5" Cuts for your card:  out of 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper: ......cut at 7.5 inch (long side) and fold in half and you're done! out of 12" x 12" sheet of paper .....cut at 8.5" ...
