Lets Talk Mini Slimline

It's been MANY years since I've made a card this size, and now they are apparently called Mini Slimline Cards. Now that I have made one I really like the size again! In fact, I have a Pop Up St. Patrick's Day Mini Slimline card done and ready to send to a friend for her March Birthday, as well as five St. Patrick's Day Mini Slimline cards to send to the grandkids. I'll be sharing those in a few weeks. I had found the #8 envelopes in my stash and was quite happy to see how well they work for this card size (3.5 x 6"). I hope the information in the video helps explain a bit more about this popular new size of card!

I have a coordinating Blog Post here: https://paintedmountaincards.blogspot.com/2021/02/mini-slimline-fold-flap-valentine-card.html

Measurements for my Fold Flap Slimline Card:
Cut card stock 7 x 6"
Putting the 7" edge at the top of your scoring board, score at 1-1/4" and 3-1/2".
Fold your card in half at the 3-1/2" scoreline, to form your card base
Fold the 1-1/4" scored edge to the front of the card.
NOTE: I adhered the flap right to the card front using thin foam tape, but most of the A2 Fold Flap Cards I've seen utilize pretty patterned papers and have the card open as more of an accordion.
