Slimline cards are all over Pinterest. At a recent ZOOM meeting with my demonstrator friends, we each made a slimline card for our "show and tell" part of the meeting. I used the Banner Year stamp set and Magic in this Night Designer Series paper for my card. This size card will fit into a regular business size envelope - and can be mailed using regular first class postage - unless the card weighs over 1 oz or is too thick.
Below is the video tutorial for making a slimline card like this. The card in the video has slightly different measurements - to get more cards from your 12x12 paper. Measurements for both cards are litsted at the end of this post. (If

**FYI - the Starburst punch I use in the video is no longer available in the Clearance Rack.**
If you look closely at the photos - you can see that the cards on the left are made with a slightly larger piece of Designer Series Paper. The card on the right uses a smaller piece of DSP - to get more cards from one sheet of 12x12 paper. The measurements for both cards are listed below.
Measurements for the card on the left are printed in BLACK.
