Still thinking about sending handmade holiday cards??? Worried you don’t have enough time or supplies??? I’m here to help. In this video demonstration, I’ll show you how quick and easy it is to make a set of 8 “Fun Size Slimline” Christmas Cards with just a few supplies! Plus I give you a tutorial on making your own custom envelopes to fit your 6 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ Fun Size Slimline Cards making sending them extra special!
All you need to get started is a 12″ x 12″ sheet of Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper or other paper of choice, an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of card stock for sentiment, and 8 card bases each measuring 6 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ when closed (see cutting and scoring dimensions later in post), plus the Merry Christmas Stamp or other sentiment of choice.
Dimensions for 6 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ Slimline Card:
- Card base = 6 1/4″ x 6 1/2″, score at 3 1/4″ on long side, fold in half
- DSP = 6″ x 3″
- Card stock for sentiment = 4 1/4″ x 2 1/4″
If you choose not to make custom envelopes for your 6 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ Slimline Cards, I suggest you use No. 6 3/4 size envelopes. These are the ones I purchase mine from Amazon with this link: https://amzn.to/3McxPyt

Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
