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.  

Paper Strips Zig Zag Save

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?

  • Forever Friends kit; a beautiful set of foil accented cards & envelopes

    Two weeks ago I had time to create at a stamping get together at our church.  I took 3 kits and make them in about an hour and a half.  Stress free and fun!  I love using our kits because I have everything I need to make the cards; I simply need adhesives and a bone folder.!

    Here's the start of my 9 cards.

    And here are the finished cards!  I did change up the greetings because I needed a bunch of thank you cards.  I kept the kit mostly as is since they were so pretty as designed.  

    This kit is called Forever Friends and can be seen here.  It's $21 and includes everything you need to create 9 cards with coordinating envelopes like stamps, a block, ink, embellishments & more.

    It's just one of our many kit available in our Kit Collection online.  

    Each kit includes pre-cut pieces and printed images. Some kits include stamps, ink and a block. Others do not and are ready to finish without any stamping.  You can choose what fits your needs.  

    Below is a snapshot of some of the kits in our collection.  They are available from one year; but supplies can run out within that year. But they'll restock them once they do for up to that year.  See them all here.

    This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold.
