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.

    Do you see how she fussy cut a second layer of designer paper and another set of flowers to pop up over the first?  Great technique!  I love how she added attention to the greeting with a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

  • Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

    Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards.

    This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either.

    • White inside 3" X 5 1/4" 

    Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

    Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done.  Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!
