Slimline Christmas Card Idea

Anyone have extra business size envelopes laying around? I do, so slimline cards are a great way to use a few of them up, AND create a really fun and different type of card!! This Slimline Christmas Card features Stampin’ Up! cardmaking supplies like the Whimsy & Wonder designer paper and the Gingerbread dies. I’ll share more info below about those products.

I took color inspiration for stamping my Frosted Gingerbread images from the Whimsy & Wonder designer paper. Misty Moonlight, Polished Pink and Mint Macaron. SAVE 10% when you buy the bundle!! The Frosted Gingerbread stamps and dies are bundled together in the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle!

Typically I am a very traditional “red and green” Christmas Color Combo lover.. but I also love how cheery and happy these colors look!!

Stampin’ Tip!

When using photopolymer stamps, using a Stampin’ Pierce Mat under your cardstock when stamping is recommended for the best images. I stamped off one of the Misty Moonlight images, so you’ll see 2 tones there, but the other images are beautiful in Mint Macaron and Polished Pink.

Decorate your cards with embellishments for a little extra flash of bling!!! I used the In Color Jewels!! The White Glittered Organdy Ribbon also adds such a great touch of glitz!
