Daffodil Afternoon Slimline

 

Check out this pretty slimline card!

I used the Daffodil Afternoon DSP.

This Daffodil Afternoon DSP is a Sale-a-bration choice

that you can get for FREE with a $50 product order.

This Soft Succulent Slimline envelope can be purchased.

It is on page 53 in the Spring Mini.

#157981- Slimline Envelopes= $10.00 

for 15 envelopes- 5 each of 3 colors- Soft Succulent, White & Smoky Slate

 Isn't this so bright, cheery & springy!

NOTE:  I made this card 7 1/2 x 8 1/2"- scoring at 3 3/4" & fold in half for card base.

This size does fit into the slimline envelope, but it is very snug!

If I make another slimline card I will cut it to 7 x 8 1/2"- score at 3 1/2" 

& fold in half for card base,  so that is fits into the Stampin' Up! slimline envelopes better. 

 

How did I do it?

Look how I layered the words........

1.  I stamped them onto a 2" strip of Very Vanilla card stock & punch it out

using the Tailored Tag Punch.

2.  I then used Basic Black card stock & punch out 2 Tailored Tag pieces.

 

3.  NOTICE how I cut them using my scissors.

One of them I cut in half vertically.

And one of them I cut in half horizontally.

 

4.  I then layered them behind the words.

 This is what it looks like from the back side when all layered together. 

*NOTE that I did snip off a little bit of the Basic Black card stock 

from each end of the Tailored Tag Punch once I got it layered together.

This way there are even edges all the way around the layered words as shown above.
