I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here. One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color!
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.
You might wonder where this greeting is from. It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'. It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper. It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February. Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period.
The other new items here is a punch. Can you spot it? It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch. The large leaf and the 'buds' too.
There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front. I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun? It's quite easy too!
Here's the front view: I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday. I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!
I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out. Measurements are included.
