What Size is a Slimline Card? by Kathleen Rosenfield September 2022

The best part of making a slimline card is all the ”stuff” you can put on the card front. That is to say, there is a lot more space here than on a standard A2 size card!

At first I was a bit intimidated, oh no, “new measurements and cutting.” The question, what size is a slimline card kept going round and round in my thoughts. I googled it but got too many different measurements involving 8th’s and 16th’s. Yikes! After that, I decided to measure the Stampin’Up slimline envelopes I had purchased and cut the cards a bit smaller (exact easy measurements below). Mission accomplished!

How to make a slimline card, mat & card front:

Take a piece of Basic White cardstock or any color cardstock of your choice 8 1/2 x 11
and cut it so it is 8 1/2 x 7.

Score the 7 inch side at 3 1/2.

Your final measurement is 3 1/2 by 8 1/2.
Card base done!
Use papers of your choice for the mat (cut 1/8 smaller than card base) and card front (cut 1/8 smaller than mat). I used Gorgeous Grape cardstock and Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. Layer the mat to the card base and the card front to the mat with Multipurpose Liquid glue.
Stampin’Up has the slimline envelopes in stock. It is a #9 envelope, 3 7/8 x 8 7/8.
