This will be my first skinny. Are they typically left blank inside or can there be a sentiment? Thanks. Sue

Also, does the design have to be vertically oriented? The word "skinny" makes me think so but I may be overthinking as I am wont to do.

Hi Suemick15 hope im not butting in here but thought i would answer this. a skinny is just like an artist trading card, only larger and you create, decorate just like you would an ATC. i have only seen them done vertically. also i make so they dont have an inside. its just one piece of cardstock and 3" X 5". thats it. hope i explained this correct. thanks

oh, i forgot something they are lots of fun and you get addicted to making them!

Candyn29 11/17/2010 #

I like them either vetical or horizontal. either is fine in my opinion.

just the same concept of an atc, art on the front, your info on the back

Thanks, ladies! See you at the mailbox. Sue

p.s. I think this will be a fun addiction. p.p.s. Is an envelope for the skinny required/expected?

Candyn29 11/18/2010 #

you should make or have something like a sandwich baggie to slip it in to. or just fold some paper around it. anything that is lumpy or fragile embellishments should be protected

Thank you Candyn29 and MAGGIEMAY. I think I've got it now.:)

Also you can have a few small amounts of extras colors to help tell the story of your skinny.

One more thing, please. Are they flat or do they open like a greeting card? Thanks. Sue

suemick15 11/22/2010 #

Actually, never mind. I really figured it out. Just like an ATC but bigger. Thanks! Sue
