Carta Bella En Vogue Eiffel Tower Slimline Birthday Card for Throwback Thursday
Hello, Friends! Let’s make an Eiffel Tower Slimline Birthday Card. Welcome to Throwback Thursday! Today we’re breaking out Carta Bella’s 2019 En Vogue. If you have this lovely collection in your Closet of Shame, then it’s time to pull it out and make something beautiful.
Meet me in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower and we’ll share some Macarons as we take in the City of Lights. Oooh la la!
Tips and Details
- Begin by scoring an 11″ x 8 1/2″ piece of cream cardstock at 3 1/2″ and 3 3/4″.
- Fold along the 3 3/4″ score line and repeat.
- Trim the flap on the right to measure 1 3/4″.
- Now fold and burnish the score lines to create a 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ side fold slimline card.
- Add hinges to the back side of the flap and fold to form a 1/4″ box pocket inside the card.
- Watch the video tutorial to see all the card come together step by step.
A Peek Inside
The inside has a decorative gift card pocket on the left and a box pocket on the right. You will learn how to make the two treat folios in the video tutorial below.

Another happy Thursday emerges and voilà it is time for Kathy’s Throwback Thursday. Wonderful trip to Paris – Love is the word for today. Love the design; but I am with Gena I want a cookie now. ( Lucky for me I am going grocery shopping this morning.). It a beautiful card!
Kathy, this is such a lovely card! That Eiffel tower image was “made” for a slim line card. Those macarons on the front and the inside make my mouth water. How yummy! Love the silhouettes and dresses also. So chic and 60s looking. Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs!
