Perhaps, you saw my last blog post where I demonstrated how to make a tri-fold Cash Card in the horizontal/landscape position and a coordinating DSP envelope. In this video, I’m introducing another type of Cash Card – a Slimline Cash Card in the vertical/portrait position also with a handmade coordinating envelope! These are great to make for your holiday gift giving with your own favorite SU! stamp sets and Designer Series Papers. And don’t for get to use these Cash Cards for other occasions throughout the year including birthdays, graduations, weddings, and more!
Dimensions for Easy Slimline Cash Card:
- Card base = 7″ x 8 1/2″, score at 3 1/2″ on short side, fold in half.
- Basic White inside = 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″
- Card stock layer on front = 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″
- DSP = 3″ x 12″, with DSP in horizontal position cut at 4″.
- The 3″ x 4″ piece will be used to make pocket on inside of card. (See how to cut at angle in the video.)
- The 3″ x 8″ piece is used on the front of the card.
- DSP strips on front 1″ x 3″ and 1 1/4″ x 3″
Dimensions for coordinating DSP Envelope:

I hope your holiday preparations are going smoothly. It’s hard to believe Christmas is in 2 weeks and 2024 begins in 3 weeks. And if you’re still in need of some last minute gift giving, perhaps, these cash cards will serve you well. Don’t forget people like babysitters, hair stylists, barbers, teachers, delivery people, and those who serve you well throughout the year. They always appreciate a little extra cash and gift cards.
Hoping your day is filled with moments that bring you peace.
