Easy idea with your leftover paper strips with Artfully Layered

January 5, 2022

I had a bunch of leftover Just Jade card stock strips I was determined to use. I believe it was from a fun fold card I offered in one of my kits to go. Luckily inspiration struck and I created this neat card for an online swap I participated in. I love it!

Save

I used the new bundle called Artfully Layered stamping the largest leaf multiple times in Just Jade ink. The botanical images, dies and super fun greetings in this bundle were one of my top picks from the new 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. You can see this bundle here.

Each of the strips are 1" X 3 1/4" and they are adhered to a White piece measuring 3 3/4" X 5". I adhered them so they did not match up purposefully. You could also stamp them as shown and place them onto the card in order.

Simply add a greeting and a punch or die-cut. I LOVE when I can use leftovers to create wonderful cards easily.

Save

The greeting die-cut is from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. They include circles, hexagons, a few odd shapes & triangles. They're fun, modern & unique!

Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!

July 24, 2025
I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets.

Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.

She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper. I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers! What pretty shading she achieved!

Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside! So neat. I also love the diagonal slant on the front.

The card opens to reveal 3 layers!
