Easy Seriously the Best Diagonal Strips cards

I made these fun diagonal stripes cards on a recent Facebook Live.  It's so simple to do!  

I used one of my favorite stamp sets; Seriously the Best here. I love the pretty bold font!  You can see it here.  It also coordinates with the Seriously the Best cards kit; which is 60% off!

I chose to use the retiring 6 X 6" 2019-21 In Color paper pack.  It's still available while supplies last and is sale right now here!

The strips are 1" long; you need about two of each at 1" X 6".  Here's how to make it:

  • You'll need one piece of White CS measuring 4" X 5 1/4" to adhere the strips to.
  • Adhere two DSP strips across from end to end leaving a little space between the two.  Tip: 6" is a little short so I cut the Peacock strip in half and separated it a bit under the greeting.
  • Now you'll add short lengths of DSP perpendicular to the first two strips, alternating colors and leaving a bit of space between them all.
  • Now you can trim off the excess even with the original White CS piece.  
  • Adhere to your main card (5 1/2" X 8 1/2")

You might notice the cute little flowers on the greeting tags and that pretty, stitched die-cut.  Well these are new products coming out in the upcoming new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog!  The flowers are a new border punch and the dies are part of the Tasteful Label dies. 

You can order these items on June 3rd! (or purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter kit and you can add them to your $125 in product!)  Read about that here.

  • 3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!

    You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet!  You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

    If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up!  It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog! 

    I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week.   I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below

    The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder.  Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers.  Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too.  The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit.

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody.  The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. 

    I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.

    I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here.  The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome. 

    Next is a simple baby wipe technique.

    I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches.  The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.

  • Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video

    Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

    I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

    July 6th cards. Save

    I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.

    Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

    You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

    When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap.
