Mini Slimline Cards are SO EASY! Plus Stretching Stamps for New Looks!

I often try to look at my stamp sets in unique ways so that I can stretch their use beyond the most obvious. This playful Koalas set has this sweet koala in a pair of tea cups. I thought he was so cute and would be even funnier if I stacked him higher on the tea cups! By creatively stamping and cutting this image, I was able to make a really fun scene.

A stack this tall though required a little more height than a standard A2 card, which inspired me to make this a mini slimline design! Mini slimline cards are becoming extremely popular. Side note if you missed it – we now carry mini slimline envelopes at Simon Says Stamp! I’ll be using a Lemon Chiffon envelope when I mail this card. :)

I had fun making this mini slimline card – it’s bright, colorful and even has a little sparkle! Have you tried creating a mini slimline yet? I’m curious if you like this type of card. Let me know in the comments!
