It opens with two flaps; one on the right opens first. Then the left does too. As you can see I textured the Olive layer with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. The notched frame dies are included in the Branching Out bundle.
The designer paper on the left is the Need for Tweed seen here.
After I had the White piece covered with strips I trimmed off the excess on the edges and added it to the White card base. Then I added the pretty dandelion White die-cuts (from the Dandy Wishes dies here). That stitched greeting tag is from the Hydrangea Dies seen here. Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins finish it off as well as a twine bow.

Next is a card with a woven heart. I think it's pretty neat! And it looks difficult but it's just a few extra steps to die-cut the shape. *Watch the video below to catch my tips on paper weaving.
I share a good demo on this technique in the video below. The strips are 1/2" and the heart shape is die-cut with the retiring Stitched Be Mine dies seen here. There are 16 dies with lots of heart shapes & borders in many sizes.
The pretty textures are from the Little Details embossing folders seen here. It's just $3.20 right now; while supplies last!
Here's the video for all 10 of my paper strips projects!

I thought paper strips were a perfect way to create cards for men. So I chose some 1/2" strips of blues and greens and adhered them to a piece of White 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card stock at an angle.
Add them at an angle, graduating colors as you go if you wish. Once you're added strips trim off the excess on the edges.
Next I used the retiring Well Written 'birthday' dies seen here and cut it out of the stripes piece. I wanted the greeting to reflect the same colors in the background. So easy!
I adhered it to the Tasteful Labels die-cut with Multipurpose Glue. I stamped 'Happy' from the coordinating stamp set Well Said seen here and fussy cut it to add to the card.

Next is another card with the exact same colors but totally different. I adhered 1/2" strips to the edge of a White card base. I didn't worry about the outer edge until I was done; trimming it off afterwards. I focused on the left edge being even.
I added a skinny 1/8" strip of Night of Navy to cover up any unevenness on my left edge. A length of Navy twine wrapped around and into a bow finishes it off.
The 'you' is from the Well Written dies and the 'make me smile' is rom the Well Said stamp set (heat embossed in White) on a Navy Tailored Tag punch.
