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 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.
The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look. See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in. And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time.
I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts. This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully. These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade.
Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too
I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend! We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food. My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet!

Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here.
This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog
For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.
