In fact, I tried the slimline card fad during my last &#8220;Monday&#8217;s Are Hard, Stamping Shouldn&#8217;t Be&#8221; Series (which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/slimline-zany-zebra-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>see here<\/em><\/a> in case you missed it.

Now, instead of cutting it in half, we are chopping off a 4&#8243; piece from the 11&#8243; length and folding the remaining cardstock in half. This gives us a closed slimline card base measuring 3-1\/2 x 8-1\/2&#8243;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"698\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?resize=800%2C698&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The slimline card base and remaining cardstock from an 8-1\/2 x 11&quot; sheet of paper.\" class=\"wp-image-1951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C893&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?resize=300%2C262&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?resize=768%2C670&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1339&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?w=1756&amp;ssl=1 1756w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201021-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The slimline card base, taken from an 8-1\/2 x 11&#8243; piece of cardstock will leave a remnant of 4 x 8-1\/2&#8243;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weird? Or genus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Great Appeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the great appeal over slimline cards is that they are unique. After all, as card makers we are choosing to be different. Before I started making my own cards, giving someone a store bought card that someone else had picked out too made my card seem&#8230;very ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size of a slimline card is unexpected. The stature is tall, stately and elegant. Because a slimline card is so long, it appears more valuable. And lets face it, because they are relatively new to the card making scene, they are novel as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slimline Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would think cutting cardstock and decorating it to create a card should be easy, no matter the card base size. Slimline cards come with their own difficulties just the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you have to get over the fact that one sheet of 8-1\/2 x 11&#8243; cardstock <em>will not<\/em> yield you 2 card bases. And getting value out of Designer Series Paper that comes in sizes 6 x 6&#8243; or 12 x 12&#8243; is hard too. Of course it can be done! But the frugal crafter in me struggles with this a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, there is design and spacing to address. With the narrowness of the slimline card, many stamps and dies may not actually fit well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"613\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?resize=800%2C613&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Autumn Greeting Stamp Set and Autumn Essentials Dies\" class=\"wp-image-1953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C784&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?resize=768%2C588&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1175&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?resize=70%2C53&amp;ssl=1 70w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?w=1806&amp;ssl=1 1806w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0820201013-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Some of these stamps and dies from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/autumn-greetings-cling-stamp-set?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autumn Greetings Stamp Set<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/autumn-essentials-dies?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autumn Essentials Dies<\/a> will work on a slimline card, but some will be too large.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when it comes to dry embossing on paper, embossing folders will run short.

There are ways and work-arounds in the diverse world of crafting! And getting creative is really what it is all about, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I find the slimline cards perfect for the small to medium size stamps and dies. My first few slimline card attempts all used the same card layout, involving 3 evenly spaced rectangles. By starting with this design, I was able to focus on each section individually. I did not get overwhelmed with the large blank canvas the slimline card provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?resize=800%2C526&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Autumn themed slimline card.\" class=\"wp-image-1955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C673&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?resize=768%2C504&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C1009&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?w=1757&amp;ssl=1 1757w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0818201509-2.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The dimensions, or basic card recipe, for this slimline card is listed <a href=\"https:\/\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/slimline-zany-zebra-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.
