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.

  • A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial

    I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

    Save

    We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

    Save

    You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

    Save

    We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

    Save

    It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

    Save

    I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

    I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!

    The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!
