Love Slimline Cards with Echo Park Cupid & Co Designer 6x6 Paper & DIY Distress Spray

Welcome Friends! I lost the video footage for these cards when my hard drive crashed. I'd planned to redo the video but doesn't appear that I'll have time before Valentine's Day so I thought I'd share the cards on my blog.  Today’s slimline cards were made using Echo Park Cupid & Co. 6x6 designer pattern paper pad. 

For my first card I used DIY distress spray (see video below) and a stencil to create the background along with pattern paper.

For my second and third cards I used pattern paper and the Simon Says Stamp Love Die along with Dress My Craft heart sequins.

My slimline cards measure 3 3/4" x 8 1/2".  They fit inside a #9 business envelope OR make your own custom envelope out of matching cardstock per my DIY Slimline Card Envelope video here.

Welcome Friends! Today I’m going to show you how to make your own envelopes for your slimline cards. Slimline cards are quite the craze right now!  Many of us papercrafters have been making them for years.  Until now, I’d used a standard, white, #10 business envelope to mail my slimline cards.  Last month when I started making my Mother’s Day cards, I decided a needed a nicer, cuter envelope to send to my mom and other loved ones.  Earlier this year vendors started coming out with envelope builders for slimline cards.  I thought how simple it would be to make my own envelope since I have multiple colors of cardstock.

Let’s get started! Minimal Supplies needed. 

Finished envelope measures 4 x 8¾ inches and is designed to fit a 3¾”x 8½ “(or less) slimline card. Diagrams below are not to scale J but just so that you get a visual.

Supplies:

• 8½” x 11” cardstock, up to 65lb weight, 1 sheet
• 1/8" or 1/4” double-sided tape
• Paper trimmer
• Scoring board with bone folder
• Corner rounder (optional)

STEP 1: Build Your Envelope

1. Starting with the 8½” width of the cardstock, score at 2¼” then rotate your cardstock 360 degrees and score at 2¼” again.  You end up with your cardstock divided into three pan
2. els, 2¼”, 4” and 2¼”.
3. Now turn your cardstock to the 11” width.  Score at one end at 1”. Rotate to other end and score at 1¼”.
4. Fold the four sides of your cardstock.
5. Cut out each of the four corners to the fold line.
6. (Optional) Use a corner rounder tool to round each corner of the top and bottom flaps.  
7. Round the corners of the upper envelope. Add double-sided tape to left back panel, bottom flap, and the top flap.

Cut	2¼”Right Back Panel	Cut
1¼“ Top flap	4“Envelope Front	1” Bottom flap
Cut	2¼”Left Back Panel	Cut

STEP 2: Assemble Your Envelope

1. Remove tape from left back panel. 
2. Fold panel over top of right back panel and press.  Use bone folder to reinforce tape. 
3. Remove tape from bottom flap and folder up and press. Use bone folder to reinforce tape. 

That’s It! Leave contact paper top flap’s tape until you’re ready to use your envelope.

These are easy peasy to make while watching your favorite TV show! Make a surplus so that you’re always stocked.

Until next time. Good day friends!
