The last of my 10 amazing card ideas for Paper Strips!


Today I'm sharing the last of the 10 cards I made on my Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them.  We're calling them 'Stripper Cards'! 

Here's a favorite I made with 3/4" X 3 3/4" strips of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Pumpkin Pie.  

I started out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS.  Starting at the bottom I added a strip and alternated colors and directions each time.  I focused on keeping the tips at the same area and left the excess 'wide' end hang over the edge.  

I had to leave enough space to stamp the greeting (You Are Amazing set seen here) so I stopped about 1 1/2" up.  The last piece may need to be trimmed before you add that skinny little edge strip.  A few Holiday rhinestones finish it off. 

On my video (scroll down) I used Real Red with the Pool Party & Bermuda Bay.  Which do you prefer?

This is another of my favorites!  So easy and just plain fun!


I cut random lengths of 1/4" strips and adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black card stock. The greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream set stamped on a 1" X 4 3/4" strip of White CS.  Add this and trim the ends off before you add it to the main Coastal Cabana card base.  

Here are both versions; which do you prefer?  


  • Left features Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
  • Right has Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. 

Below is the video for all 10 'stripper' card ideas using leftover strips of paper!

  • Best of the Clearance Rack!


    I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorite finds on the clearance rack. 

    I ordered this kit for my future daughter-in-law. She loves to stamp & create but doesn't have a lot of products yet.  Our kits are perfect for her.  It's item #158375   See it here. 

    This kit is just $8.80 (it was $22) and includes:
    * Love, Santa Photopolymer Stamp Set
    * Acrylic stamp block
    * Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot
    * Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
    * Makes 12 tags: 3 each of 4 designs
    **Adhesive-backed sequins
    * Adhesive to complete projects
    * Printed designer box for storage or crafting on the go: 9-7/8" x 6-1/2" x 2-3/4" 

    There are so many more kits available in our kit collection. If you're looking for great gifts for crafters most are all inclusive and really do make a fabulous gift! I'm surprised some of them are still in stock!  See them all here.

    Texture Chic Memories & More cards are the perfect start to easy but beautiful cards or memory keeping. 

    They were $10 and are now $4. The item # is 159201 and can be seen here. 

    It includes 50 cards in two sizes and 4 sticker sheets.  They pair perfectly with the Texture Chic Memories & more cards & envelopes!

    There are 20 printed cards and envelopes that coordinate with the M & More cards above. These are big cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4". They were $12 and are now $4.80.  Item #159202 

    I love these for quick cards; they're perfect for a beginner stamper or quick cards. I often change them up by trimming the cards or using them in unexpected ways. See them here. 

    There are many more great items left on the Clearance Rack; be sure to check them out right away.

  • Sparkling Snowflakes Easy 5 Card Wonder with free templates & video


    I'm excited to share today's project. You may know this but I LOVE stamping one sheet wonders! I have created many of them and the layers & templates to make them super easy to use. *see them here

    On last week's Live video I shared these pretty snowflake cards; made with my Easy 5 card wonder templates. 

    I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. Snowflakes can be wintery or holiday; they're quite versatile.  I added greetings using the Tailor Made Tags & Stylish Shapes dies with a bit of Elegant trim cording. 

    My colors include Coastal Cabana, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party & Fresh Freesia. 

    I started out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of Basic White card stock. I stamped the snowflakes down the center so some would be on each of the card front pieces.  Each piece measures 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". 

    You can see the stamped pieces below.  There is very little waste.  I love being able to create my own patterns with different color combos.  It's so fun and reminds me why I love stamping! 

    After you've stamped and cut your 5 layers, you can choose to stamp your greetings in the open area or add greetings using a punch or die-cut.

    Now choose a coordinating piece of card stock to create the colored layers for the card fronts. Below is the template with measurements. Again it starts with an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of colored card stock. Each piece measures 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".
