Trifold Slimline Sympathy Card

Hello crafty friends

I talk about the details on this card in my YouTube video here:  https://youtu.be/S0zqwrmz2Mc

I have been having fun coming up with different ways to create Slimline cards, and this is another one I'm happy to share with you. I created a trifold variation!

The pretty patterned paper is from an older paper pad by K & Company. I cut the card stock 8.5 x 8.5", then scored 2" from the right edge and 3" from the left edge. When folded, it is the Slimline size of 3.5 x 8.5". I cut the patterned paper so I could have an even white border around the edges, and added a long decorator panel on the left flap to add the stamping to. Again, you can choose your measurements, but the base of this one is 3 x 7",  with a 2.75 x 6.75" white stamped & embossed panel. You can add other shapes to this as well, but the first three of these I've made have all had the 3 x 7" rectangle. The others won't be shared for awhile.

The floral piece inside was a leftover piece from the 12 x 12" sheet of patterned paper - but this is another area you can add whatever shape you would like.

Inside I used gold to heat emboss the Sentiment, and added a few more gold sequins.

Even with the layers, this card fit perfectly into a #10 Business envelope and mailed for a single stamp.
