Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!


On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video. 

The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here. 

I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different! 

Tips: 

  • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
  • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
  • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
  • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
  • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
  • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

Here's the video with details:

  • Hello Hollyhocks kit – pretty AND easy!


    I spent a few relaxing minutes putting together these pretty cards last weekend. It's the Hello Hollyhock kit from our Kit Collection. 

    They turned out beautifully! You can see this Hello Hollyhocks kit here.  It's a non-stamping kit that's all inclusive and would make a great gift or perfect for a relaxing crafting experience.  

    My cat Jazz loves to hang out with me while I stamp. 

    She wasn't much help but she did settle into the kit box somehow but was quite a tight fit!

  • Stunning cards in the Thoughtful Journey kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial


    I couldn't wait to play and create with the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I think scenic paper like this makes card making a breeze!  I decided to make each card a fancy fold too. 

    I design my kit around the paper and added supplies so all you need to add is stamped greetings. I chose to use the So Sincere set this time; which you can add on at a discount. 

    This incredibly beautiful designer paper is filled with watercolor scenes and backgrounds making is super easy to create with. 

    Opt in for the card kit to go by June 18th; supplies may be limited. The PDF tutorial will be emailed to you immediately after payment; check your spam folder. The pre-cut kit is mailed at the end of June.
