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

April 12, 2021

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.

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?

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

A Mystery Card Floating technique with the pretty Dainty Flowers

February 2, 2023
Every few months we have a Mystery Card challenge with my Flowerbug's Team. I put together packets of papers and elements and send them to those who opt in. They have a month to make a project using the supplies in their 'Mystery' packet and of course there are prizes too.

This month I featured papers from the Dainty Flowers designer paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Here's my card:

Save

I had multiple pieces of the designer paper, pieces of Mossy Meadow, a white and Mossy circle and the Rich Razzleberry card base. They could use as many or as few of the elements that they wanted or add extras too.

Floating Technique: I cut one of my DSP layers into 1/2" strips and adhered them to a piece of window sheet. Then I cut it out with a stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies.
Save

It's such a unique & unexpected element to a card. I added some die-cuts from the Dainty Delight dies too.

Measurements:
- Rich Razzleberry card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 2" X 4 1/4", circle element is 2 1/2"

Explosion ‘Wow’ cards with step by step video tutorial and template.

January 31, 2023

We made explosion cards on Facebook Live Monday night. I host a free class called Stamp with Me Live on the last Monday evening of each month on my FB page here. Be sure to follow me there.

I always upload the video on my NEW YouTube Channel afterwards so even if you're not on Facebook you can watch it later.

I chose to use the Favored Flowers designer paper – it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice right now; while supplies last. You can earn it free with any $50 order from Stampin' Up!. See it here.

The card starts out as a gate-fold fun fold card. Easy enough…. I chose to fussy cut a few flowers & leaves from the pretty DSP to add to my greeting element. The greeting is from the Fitting Florets stamp set. The white stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies. I also added a few Brushed Brass butterflies; love these! They're so dainty and nice & flat.

Here's the inside view of the explosion insert:

I added the layered squares on the diagonally at the center of the explosion piece. Note that this is only adhered on the very outside edge of the inside card. It sort of floats. Please watch the video here to see exactly how it's done. It's quite difficult to explain how this is done in writing.

**I created a free project sheet for this card; Download it here

Below is the template I used for the designer paper explosion layer. You'll start out with a 4" X 8" piece of designer paper and score vertically at 2", 4" and 6". Then score on the diagonal 4 times as shown.

Save

I hope you try making one of these; they're so fun!
