This is my attempt at a card by Jo Blackman, Independent Demonstrator.
Slimline cards seem to be one of the in things right now, and I wanted to learn how to make these. The card below was inspired by Independent Demonstrator Manda Moore. This card used the Blessings of Home stamp set, Lovely You stamp set and Lovely You Pick a Punch.
Card:
- 8 ½” X 7” Basic Gray cardstock; score in portrait at 3 ½”
- 8 ¼” X 3 ¼” Basic Black cardstock
- 8 ¼” X 3 ¼” Basic White cardstock (inside)
- 8” X 3” Basic White cardstock
- 3” X 1” Basic Gray or Basic Black cardstock (label); punch one end with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
Envelope:
- 8 ½” X 11” DSP or Cardstock; score in landscape at 1 ½” and 10 ½”, turn to portrait and score at 2 ½” and 6 ½”
