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.

Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

March 2, 2020

You might know that I love creating scenic cards. Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers. I do! But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water. This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.

I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago. It's super easy to make! Here's a link to it on FB.

Save

The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree. I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'. The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial. And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!
