Call me late to the party, but I just made my first slimline card. I know these cards came to the forefront about this time last year, and I didn’t get on board.
However, I was asked to create a good-bye and good luck card for our coach leaving Fit Body Boot Camp. I needed a card that had ample space for everyone to write a message.
So, after I created one and brought it to the gym, I found my Slim Sayings stamp set and coordinating Slimline Card Dies, Find them on page 52 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10 percent.
The above card uses products from Stamin’ Up!’s Waves of the Ocean Suite Collection. See this post for more card samples using these products.
Slimline cards offer a palette where you can include more images on the front, and it’s a change of pace from our regular card size. And, these cards can be mailed in a business-size envelope with no extra postage required. Stampin’ Up! even sells Slimline Envelopes. Receive 15 envelopes in three colors for $10.
Slimline Card Samples
This slimline card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Hats Off stamp set, Hat Builder Dies, and the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper.
To make a slimline card, cut a piece of card stock at 8 1/2 inches x 7 inches. Score at 3 1/2 inches. Now you’re ready to add layers, if you like, and stamp and embellish.
Here’s a replay of a Facebook Live where I created the card featured at the top.

Products Used to Create These Cards

I think most of us paper crafters share a love of all things paper. From the colorful to the sparkly, to the rich and regals, we all love patterned paper. It’s easy to collect, and it’s easy to hoard.
It’s a quick and easy card I designed for a recent team meeting. It also uses Stampin’ Up!’s Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes — Twenty precut and prescored cards and envelopes for $7.00. The sentiment comes from the Flowing Flowers stamp set.
I just love the gold accents and the combinations of color. Also, notice the new, unique sizing — 4 x 6.
So far, I’ve purchased three packages of this paper and have used the bulk of it. It was the star of the show at my recent Stampin’ Bunco event. With this paper I created:
Three cards to make during the event.
Coordinating acetate card box.
A treat packet welcome gift. See this post for a video and directions and sample.
Decorated bag to hold all of the goodies.
Abstract Beauty Card Samples
Decorate Stampin’ Up!’s Acetate Card Boxes, fill them with cards and envelopes and give as a gift.
I used Stampin’ Up!’s Tailor Made Tags Dies to create this simple and easy tag to adorn this bag.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you’ve enjoyed the projects using Stampin’ Up!’s Abstract Beauty 4 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I love treat packets! It’s so much fun creating them, filling them with goodies, and giving them out! I’m always on the lookout for a new and different design. I came upon this one while browsing Pinterest and changed the Designer Series Paper to fit my theme. (Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how I made this.)
Here’s another example of a treat packet I made with Stampin’ Up!’s Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
