Little Birdie Crafts Celebrate Life Tall and Skinny Card Tutorial AND a Giveaway!
Hello, Friends! Today I’m guest designing for Little Birdie Crafts with this “Celebrate Life” Tall and Skinny Card Tutorial. Tall and Skinny cards are trendy right now, and for good reason: they are fun to make, give you lots of room to add embellishments, and they are a nice change of pace from the standard square or rectangular card.
This one measures 8 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ with a 3/4″ spine. I needed to add that chunky spine to accommodate the box pocket inside!
In the video tutorial, I’ll show you how to create the card base using a single sheet of designer paper from the “Celebrate Life” collection. I’ll also share how to repair a BIG MISTAKE (which I made!) with a simple fix.
We’ll put the front of the card together piece by piece to make it easy for you to reproduce the finished project.
Celebrate Life Tall and Skinny Card Tutorial: A Peek Inside
Would you like to learn how to make this fun box style pocket? It’s easier than you might think, and I’ll show you how in the video below.
Once you’ve made the box pocket, you can fill it up with lovely treats. I like to call this type of card “a party in a box.” They make great gifts!

This is so sweet, Kathy. Like the pastel colors of these papers. The variety of designs (especially the pop-out circles) make this Little Birdie paper pack an easy way to create cards. As always, I appreciate your video tutorial. tfs-Hugs.
PS. Noticed the question above…I’m thinking of making this card design in a size that fits a small flat rate postal box for mailing to prevent any smashing. Any other ideas are appreciated.

And of course I hit like on your YouTube channel and subscribed to the Little Birdie Blog and Instagram …I’ve been missing out, I can see! Thanks so much for sharing your talents …and helping us correct our mistakes! Lol! Hugs, Suzy Q
I like your”party in a box” card–so pretty!
Kathy, what a lovely, “delicious” card! Makes me want a cupcake too. LOL I really like the design of this card, it allows you to do so much on the front with your beautiful embellishments. As always the inside is just gorgeous and filled with such sweet treasures. What a fantastic gift this will make. Little Birdie has some really beautiful paper collections, not to mention their flowers! Thank you for showing us how you made it! Hugs!
Beautiful card – I like this size and layout and really enjoyed the tutorial. I went and subscribed to the Little Birdie blog, FB and Instagram and have been shopping for some of their beautiful chipboard pieces. Thanks again for a great tutorial 🙂
Hi, I have not done any of the tasks…but I do love this card. Inky hugs
Gorgeous card – love the wide, skinny design and as always it is embellished perfectly!!
Beautiful like always. You are so creative and talented.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift with me (us all ) love the shabby colors of this collection also thank you little birdie for a chance to win
Such a lovely card! I would love to try their paints and also those beautiful flowers from viewing their website!! Now following them on FB and Instagram and their blog!! Have been a follower of yours for quite awhile – love your videos!!
This is delightful and fun to watch you put it all together! Will definitely check out their blog…thanks again for sharing your creativity!
So pretty! Little Birdie has so many cute things. I would buy the chalk paints and the By the sea paper. If I was rich Id buy all the papers. They are just gorgeous! I also have a question. When you make the big cards or the 5×7 folios, do you make an envelope or do you just hand it to people?
This card is just gorgeous! I would by all of the products used on it and other collections as well. I’ve got some that I purchased last fall that have pumpkins, which I just love.
Kathy, this is gorgeous! I see me attempting this over the weekend. One question……is there an envelope that fits this size or do we make our own?
