A special card for dog and cat lovers!!! The Pampered Pets Designer Series Paper with the Slimline Card Design will do it!
Here is a closer look at the dog card.
To make the card, start with these supplies.
The Stitched Squares are from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Layer each of them on a 2-1/2″ square of cardstock and decorate. The cats and even the words are cut out from the Pampered Pets Designer Series Paper. There is actually no stamping on these cards!
Did you know – these slimline cards fit right into a regular business envelope? No extra postage needed! Decorate the flap of the envelope and the recipient will know its “happy mail”!
If you want to make a special envelope to totally match your special card, this is what your envelopes can look like.
Just cut your paper and score this way.
Turn and score this way.
Cut off the corners like this.
Attach.
How easy is that? Here is a video showing the step by step process.
Thank you for you detailed and to the point tutorial on making a slimline card envelope. Something I can definitely repeat. The scrap paper to decorate a regular business envelope is a bonus,
Thank you so much Vera!
Thanks for your great post and adorable pet card.
Isn’t the business envelope somewhat larger than the slimline card, leaving floppy space when the card is inserted?
Love you directions on how to make your own envelope for the slimline card. Does the card fit more proportionately into this envelope? And does this size envelope require more postage?
Thanks for asking- yes the envelope is larger than the card, but I don’t mind that at all. You can cut the cardstock a little bigger so it makes a tighter fit but I find most people would prefer that I make easy to remember measurements. Yes, the handmade envelope pattern fits tighter. Thanks for asking and have fun with this!
Love your video! You instructions are the best!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Debbe!
