How to make slim cards. 2 masculine cards ~ Father's Day or birthday

Hello.  I am sharing two slimline masculine cards, perfect for Father's Day, Birthday or any time.

Sentiment:  My Father is the best Dad ever.

This first card was made using teal and gray colors.  I used a diagonal die-cut layer in white with a gray background trimmed piece of cardstock.  A paper trimmer was used to make the background panel and the card base.  It is not necessary to use die-cut layers to get the slim line card style.  A paper trimmer works perfectly for trimming to fit your envelope size.

Here is a similar one.

Also, I made another card in blue and gray.  This time, I die-cut the diagonal panel in gray and trimmed a white background layer.  Again, die-cuts are not necessary.  A neutral stamped panel behind the ties would give a great background look.

How to make a slim card base to fit into an #9 or #10 business size envelope:
Use a thicker cardstock and a paper trimmer.
Cut the cardstock 9 1/4" x 8".
Using a scoring board, score the shortest end at 4".

Here is another look.
