Hi Stampers. I’ve been hearing an awful lot about slimline cards lately. Since I had never made one before, I gave it a try. When I looked it up they said there were several sizes of slimline cards. The standard slimline card is 7″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 3-1/2″. I chose to make mine 8-1/2″ x 9″, scored at 4-1/4″ so that it would fit into a business (#10) envelope. (Note: my research said it should be 9-1/2″ instead of 9″, but that wasn’t divisible by six as easily as 9″ was.)
My banner is created out of Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Pacific Point & Gorgeous Grape CS. Each banner was cut to 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ each. Because the word I chose was 6 letters long, I divided 9″ divided by 6 and got 1-1/2″. Then, I flagged the end of each strip with the Triple Banner Punch.
Using the Playful Alphabet Dies, I spelled the word “friend” on the banners, one letter per banner. After the letters were cut out, I used liquid glue to adhere them to the slimline card front in varying heights. Once they were all adhered, I used the paper snips to snip off the banner tops flush with the top of the card front. (Note: When cutting, be sure to save the center of the R and the D so you can glue them back in when the banners are on the card.)
Using various Stampin’ Write markers, I inked up the stamp “Happy Birthday” and stamped it onto a 1/2″ strip of Basic White CS. Using paper snips, I flagged the end. The sentiment is adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I’m thrilled with how bright and cheery it is.

Love this Friends card. Think I’ll be making one. Thanks.
I really love this rainbow card. The colours are so nice and bright.
Hi Lisa, this card is so bright and lovely. I hope to case it soon. You have very nice ideas with banners and letters. I made 3 of your Valentine Banner.
Have a blessed day.
