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?

  • Left features Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.

  • Brilliant Accordion Fun Fold card; it’s a big WOW!

  • How to make an Easy Fun Fold Window card with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper

    This is one of the card folds I demonstrated on last week's FB Live where I featured the Daffodil Daydream bundle along with the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP.

    I love how our products coordinate so wonderfully.  This Daffodil Afternoon DSP is part of our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  This promotion ends on February 28th. See all of the free products here.  

    For the greetings I used the Special Moments stamp set; also in our 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's a big set of 21 images and it's free with a $100 order through February.  

    The cards look like a simple window card from the front; before you open it.  I used the Layering Circles dies, cutting through both the DSP and card base for the window.

    The front of these cards both use the same Designer Paper; you can get a totally different look depending on which sheet you choose. The cute layered butterflies are from the Daffodil dies. 

    This is how the card looks when you open it.  It's a simple double fold that the circles are easily added to.  Just close the card and add them 'through' the window onto the inside layer.

    Below is the video.  This card is the second project I share.  If you like fun fold cards be sure to catch the last one; it's a wonderful accordion style card!
