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!

Save

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?

Save

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

I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live. It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!

Save

I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received. It's called Spooky Treats. I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit. I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

Save

The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

Here are the measurements:
- Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
- Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
- DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”
For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie. The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

Save

Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

September 28, 2022
We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September. I love the bright colors paired with Black!

Save

The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black. As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms. And inside the card is a single apple.

The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog. The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion. See them here.

All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet. I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

Save

This card fold is super simple. Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.

Measurements:
- Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
- Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
- Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
- White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside
