I have tried slimline cards before (I think they were called tall cards then ) but it has been a while. I love them every time I see them and I remind myself that I really want to add that to my to-do list. I finally decided it was time to do it. These cards are great for scene building but I really wanted to play around with a tall digi and make it tall enough for a slimline card front. Whatever you decide to do, just have fun creating a slimline OR mini slimline card...

• A slimline card is essentially 8.5"x3.5" but as long as it fits into a business size envelope (#10 - 9.5" X 4.125") it is fine. (to get the best use out of a letter size sheet of paper - Cut it at 8.5" X 7" and score in half on the 7" side).
• A mini slimline card is 3"x6" (They make an envelope size called #6 3/4 Remittance Envelope that should fit these.)
• FOR BONUS POINTS and if you don't have a business envelope, HERE is a link to a great tutorial for making your own. You can tweak it a bit to create an envelope for a mini by cutting the cardstock 8.5"x8.5" and following all of the scores except the last one - the one at 10.5" Instead make that last score at 8".

I can't wait to see your slimline cards! Have fun!!
Lyn

I pulled out an old Penny Black stamp that is perfect for the slimline format.
