Sweet Treats Mini Slimline Fun Fold for Your Paper Insider IG Hop

I recently joined the Your Paper Insider Design Team, and YPI was very generous and sent me a big box full of specialty papers like glitter cardstocks, watercolor papers, metallic and holographic cardstocks, acetate, vellum, and Japanese papers I'd never heard of before and many other kinds of papers! I'm sure those of you visiting my blog can relate to the pleasure of new specialty papers to play with and can picture my joy in unboxing all these beautiful papers! I've already posted several projects using the papers I was sent, but this is my first official project for the Your Paper Insider DT Instagram Hop starting today. I hope you'll join the fun over on Instagram. My handle is @carriesheridan.70. All papers used for this card are from Your Paper Insider. 

For this mini slimline fun fold card design, I followed a tutorial by Terri Gaines that you can watch here: Mini Slimline Fun Fold Cards & Envelopes with FREE PDF Templates. My mini slimline card is 3 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches scored at 2 1/2 on the long side. The mini card inside measures 2 inches by 8 1/2 inches and is scored at 4 1/4 inches. I used Double Cream Cordtone cardstock (from Box 2) for the slimline card base and the mini card base adhered to the inside of the larger card. 

Once I had the card bases completed, I added the layers to them. I trimmed a piece of Copper Curious Alchemy (from Box 12) to 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 and embossed it using Altenew's Ways to Thank You embossing folder. I adhered that piece to the left flap of the card. I trimmed a piece of Copper cardstock from YPI's Non-Shed Glitter Assortment pack to 3 1/4 by 5 3/4 inches and adhered it to the inside of the card. For the mini card, I trimmed a piece of Bronze cardstock from the same glitter cardstock assortment pack to 1 3/4 by 4 inches and adhered it to the front of the mini card. 

I die cut the pieces and assembled the cookies from Altenew's Sweet Treats Layering Die Set using the following papers from Box 12: Copper Curious Alchemy, Grocer Craft Environment Raw, Gold Gmund Treasury, Rust Colorplan Cardstock, and Mars Stardream. 

For the inside of the mini card, I added 2 more cookies and stamped and die cut "You are so sweet" from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Sweet Harvest project kit using more Grocer Craft Environment Raw cardstock.
