Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “My Happiest Season.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My latest obsession is the slimline card. I think it reminds me of Holiday cards from a long time ago. My Happiest Season is Thanksgiving - I love the craziness of the day. Family is around, it is so loud, no one can hear each other talk and we eat my favorite foods!
My project uses some of my faves from the new mini catalog - Banner Year, Pick a Banner Punch, and the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper.
The measurements for my card are:
Card base: 7" x 8 ½" - scored @ 3.5" (mint macaron)
Layer 1: 3¼" x 8¼" (x2 - 1 for the inside & 1 for the outside) (whisper white)
Layer 2: 3 ¹/₈" x 8¹/₈ " (Gilded Autumn DSP)
Layer 3: 2½" x 7½ (mint macaron)
Layer 4: 2¼" x 7¼ " (whisper white)
The measurements for my envelope are:
8.5" x 11" (mint macaron)
3¹/₈ " x 3⁷/₈ " (lining for envelope flap - Gilded Autumn DSP)
I am always grateful at Thanksgiving for family (and the rest of the year too)!
Using Mint Macaron card stock, I made an envelope that perfectly fits the slimline card. To see how I made the envelope, watch the video below:
