Welcome to our Mini Slimline Instagram Hop! Each month, we'll be creating and sharing mini slimline cards. It's a fun opportunity to try a different card size and see all the creative ways everyone puts their own spin on it!
What exactly is a Mini Slimline card?
Well, there are a couple of ways to make them! Some of us like to start with a 6" x 6" piece of cardstock and fold it in half, while others use a 6" x 7" piece and fold it. Either way, we all make sure our cards fit into a 3.75" x 6.5" envelope. It's a really fun size to work with!
For my card, I created a Christmas door using woodgrain Designer Series Paper and a few simple details to bring it to life.
Creating My Christmas Door
My card base is a 6" x 6" piece of Two Tone Peaceful Pine Cardstock, scored and folded in half.
I used woodgrain Designer Series Paper to create the door, cutting it to 2 1/2" x 4 3/4". The four smaller panels measure 1 1/8" x 1 7/8". To give them a little dimension and make them stand out, I added two pieces of Early Espresso Cardstock measuring 3/4" x 1 3/4" to the back of each panel.
For the finishing touches, I added a Golden Glow 2026–2028 In Color Dot for the doorknob and a beautiful foiled Christmas sentiment using the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies.
A little piece of Washi Tape along the bottom adds another fun detail, and I finished everything off with a die-cut cat from my stash. I think the little cat makes this Christmas door extra special!
