Motivational Mini Slimline Card

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! Do you keep motivational cards in your stash to send out ‘just because’ if someone is going through a rough patch? I try to keep some on hand. Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for making a pretty green-tone motivational mini slimline card featuring our Moss Green, Sweet Mint and White cardstock from our new Lessebo line! This line has replaced the Basis cardstock (which was one of my favorites) and it couldn’t be any better… great weight, great colors and just a great cardstock all around. If you haven’t already checked out the Lessebo cardstock, you definitely should… you’ll be hooked! 😉

Cut Card Base & Layers

Cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Lessebo Moss Green cardstock.

Next, cut a front layering panel and inside frame (using mini slimline dies of your choice) from Lessebo Sweet Mint cardstock.

Finally, cut an inside layering panel from Lessebo White cardstock.

Stamp Focal Image

Stamp focal image in black ink on the sweet mint front layering panel and color with alcohol markers.

Adhere Layers

Adhere the stamped image to the front of the card base.

Similarly, adhere the sweet mint frame to the inside white layering panel, and then adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.

Complete Project

Add several purple pearls to the card front to complete the project.
