Last May I had an idea to use three coordinating 6 x 6" patterned papers to make three Mini Slimline cards that also had a simple fun fold... with NO SCRAPS or leftover patterned paper. I was really happy with how it worked, and it's one of my most popular video's. 😊 You can find the video HERE and the coordinating blog post is HERE.
I was flipping through my Valentine themed 6 x 6" papers, and since someone had just left me a comment on that video it was still in my head. I decided to pull out SIX of the papers and make two sets of Valentine cards with them.
For reference, your card base is 7 x 6.25". Score at 1.25 and 3.5". I go over this more in the video. Patterned paper - first cut is 1" (for the fold flap) and the second is 3.25" (for the inside). The leftover piece fits on the left front as shown in the video.
I have been asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
