NEW PRODUCT PREVIEW! Slim Sayings Bundle! Stampin’ Up is releasing (on January 4, 2022) its first collection geared towards slimline cards.
I wanted to share with you a little bit about the sizing of this bundle:
- Two of the dies are perfect for a 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 sized slimline card matted layer, measuring at 8 1/4 x 3 1/4.
- The other two dies are used to make beautiful edges and measure 8 1/2 x 3/4.
- The sentiments are large in size, helping to fill all that space that a slimline card offers.
- The coordinating Slimline Envelopes (157981) come in a pack of 15, have a beautiful scalloped flap, and measure in at 3 7/8 x 8 7/8. (see photo below)

Today’s creations use one of the Night of Navy Color Combinations I shared on Tuesday’s post.
MY SLIMLINE TIPS FOR YOU:
Before cropping your card stock with the Slim Card Dies, I recommend the following prep to ensure the best result:
Cut your card stock to 8 1/2 x 3 1/2
- Makes it easy to line-up on the edges of the cutting plate to make sure it’s in the center
Adhere to an Adhesive Sheet
- Makes it easy to adhere all pieces to the card base
Use Washi Tape or similar to hold your die & card stock in place so it can’t move
- Even a little moving off the cutting plate can cause the ends not to cut all the way through
Use a Take Your Pick Tool to remove the adhesive backing, and to pick up /place your pieces onto the card base.
- Keeps your fingers from sticking to the card stock and bending it.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Basic White Thick card stock to 8 1/2 x 7. Score and fold at 3 1/2.
Cut a piece of each of the following: Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, and Coastal Cabana to 8 1/2 x 3 1/2.
Adhere Adhesive Sheets to the back of each piece of cut card stock.
Layer the die on top of the card stock and set on the cutting plate, being sure to keep the ends to the inside of the cutting plates beveled edges. Add a piece of Washi Tape or similar to hold the two in place. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard Machine Only).
Remove all the pieces from the inside of the die-cut card stock so only the “frame” remains.
Remove the protective backing and adhere to the card base.
Pick your preferred order of color, remove the protective backing and adhere as shown.

WOW my friend……FABULOUS Slimline cards.
I love this pretty slimline card, Mary. I see how the dies make it easy to get a perfect grid for the card. Thanks for your tips on how to inlay the pieces. Love the slimline envelopes. Enjoy your day.
