Slim line Sweet as a Peach Card

 Hello,

Kind of a blah day here... it's raining before the next brutal snow storm. So, I took the opportunity to rearrange my craft room. It took a couple of hours but it seems more functional now. 

I realized I have oodles of DSP. I must get over the hoarding of paper. I should use it instead of saving it....isn't that why I purchased it??? It's just so pretty though.

Today's card is made from my DSP stash. You're a Peach Designer Series Paper. The sentiments and branch with flowers is from the Sweet as a Peach bundle. 


Slim line cards are great for large images or DSP with lots of detail. 

This slim line card measures 7" x 8 1/2", scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side. I used Thick Basic White.
The Balmy Blue layer measures 3 1/3" x 8 1/4" with a layer of DSP measuring 3" x 8". 
One of my favourite die sets is Stitched So Sweetly, perfect for this sentiment.

As I don't make very many slim line cards, I made the matching envelope. Take a piece of DSP measuring 10" x 10 1/2" and score at 3" and 7" on the 10 1/2" side. Rotate the paper and score at 1/2" and 9". Fold and burnish the score lines. I used Tear and Tape to adhere the flaps, leaving the top flap open. 

Until next time....

Sweets & Treats Fun Fold

 Hello,

Sweets & Treats is one of my favourite stamp sets. It’s not only for Christmas but birthdays, Thanksgiving and so much more. The fun fold is called an angle fold. 


The card recipe: all measurements are in inches
Base: 11 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/8 and 8 1/2
DSP : 3 7/8 x 5 1/4
          2 1/4 x 5 1/4
Inside: 4 x 5 1/4
Scrap cardstock for image and die cuts  



As pictured above, the right side flap will measure 2 1/2 ". At the top of the flap, measure in 1 1/8" and make a tick mark. From that tick mark cut on an angle to the bottom of the flap. Same for the DSP. Adhere your DSP to both flaps on the front of the card.
Select your image and die cuts. Adhere to the left front flap of the card ensuring the right side can move freely to open and close. To close the card, the right flap will tuck under the die cut. 

Until next time...
