Die Cut Scraps Cards + Giveaway

Hello! Today I am sharing ideas for using die cut scraps on cards. I focus on using background and border dies… and also share several slimline card designs.

[If the video is not visible, please head HERE to YouTube to watch. All supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you. I appreciate your support so very much!]

I cover quite a bit of info in this video, so be sure to watch it! I share ideas for stretching your dies… and creating long and narrow cards. I hope it is helpful!

Keep in mind, dimensions for “slimline cards” (long and narrow cards) can vary between companies. Pinkfresh Studio based their dies (which I use in this video) off a traditional slimline envelope, which is 3 7/8″ x 8 7/8″. The card dimension would be 3 5/8″ x 8 5/8″. I roughly followed these dimensions, but all would fit in a business envelope.

Here are the cards from my video along with the main products featured. For the full supply list, scroll down to the thumbnails at the end of this post.

    I haven’t done slimline cards in ages! These were very popular when I started stamping 20 years ago!! We seem to forget those oldie but goodie techniques and designs that we started out with…with new techniques coming out daily, we seem to want to try those out immediately…I’m so glad that these dies are will be available so that another one of our past design/techniques can bring to present. Your cards are absolutely fabulous and happy! You are BLESSING, Jennifer…I keep reminding you because YOU ARE!!

    These cards are wonderful! I think the dimensions are fun as well, and a great way to use up extra scraps, which I have too many of…I also love the idea that I can simply use a business envelope instead of needing to hand-make one, or purchase specialty envelopes. Thanks for the beautiful inspirations you created!

  41. Judy Bickel says:

  45. Viola Leary says:

    I absolutely loved all of the cards you made and I’m super excited to give this a try. I like the slimline design too. Thanks for the inspiration. Pink Fresh studios is a relatively new company to me but I love all of their dies and stamps. They’re quickly becoming my go to company too.

  46. Rose Mary Smalley says:

    What a great time to post a video like this. I have been cleaning up all of the extra supplies that I have, and giving them to my husbands dialysis RN’s daughter who is a pre-school teacher. Before the school closures, the classroom was having a great time creating with all of the goodies that I shared. I had been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for over 10 years, and boy, I have tons to share. Especially with the little tikes who may become some great artist someday, because of doing some crafting.
    I will share this video with that teacher so that she will have a source to draw from. You are a great teacher Jennifer, and I am proud that you are so giving with your talents. Thank you.
    Very pretty card samples as always…Bless you.

  47. Maria Alba Negron says:

    Hi Jennifer,

    AS ALWAYS these cards are SUBLIME!!!!! The colors, the composition, the creativeness is AWESOME!!!
    Thanks for the opportunity to win this giveaway, I really need it!

    Cariños,
    María Alba

  48. Loved the look of a long, slime card. I really think that you did a good job with the colors and the scraps that you used in this series of cards. Thanks and I love making your cards with my girls.
