Sunset Silhouette Mini Slimline Bridge Card

Hello!  Today I'm sharing the Birthday Card I made for hubby ... a Mini Slimline Bridge card. I have been in a MAJOR Moho slump, so barely got this card done in time to give him and I didn't have a chance to do a tutorial or video. I will list the measurements I used for the base itself, and since I'm happy with how the card turned out I will make more and promise to do a video tutorial as well. 

Thankfully I had already finished my Christmas cards and scheduled most of the posts or my blog would be pretty bare this month. I think I went over two weeks without making a card or even WANTING to make a card. Definitely out of character for me and I'm happy to say I'm starting to feel more like creating again. 

The silhouette dies I used are from Divinity Designs with the sunset/sunrise paper from Whimsy stamps. Everything that is available is linked below for you. I added the 'Love You' from Karen Burniston's Word Set 12 Snow, cutting it three times. Once from dark yellow, once from orange and the final time from black. Then I stacked them on top of each other and I like the little shadow of colour this gives the words and helps them stand out more. 

The card folds flat and fits in a #8 (or 6-3/4") envelope. I added several layers of foam tape for dimension knowing I would be hand delivering the card. Ha.

The back of the card is where I wrote him a personal message.

One more look ...

Measurements **I was just fiddling around and came up with this so there may be other measurements out there.

Folded, my card is 6 x 3.5", which is my favourite size of Mini Slimline card to make.

The Card Base measures 7.5 x 3.5", scored along the long side at .75". 1.5", 6" and 6.75". 

The Bridge Strip is 6" long, and as deep as you wish. Mine was about 6 x 1.25". Since the dies weren't quite long enough to reach across the 6" span I used scissors on either end to finish the cut.
