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.  

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. 

Below is the video for all 10 'stripper' card ideas using leftover strips of paper!

  • Harvest Meadow Fun Fold cards kit to go


    Today I'm sharing one of my September cards kit with you. I actually have two and will share the other one tomorrow. 

    This kit includes 10 pre-cut cards (2 each of 5 cards), 1/2 pkg. Nature's Harvest designer paper (6" X 12"), Metallic adhesive gems & Linen Thread.  It's a fabulous value as the product is worth $20 (without tax & shipping) and the cost is just $28 and the tutorial is free! The PDF tutorial includes photos, step by step directions, measurements to make more and a supplies list. 

    8 of these 10 cards are fancy folds and with the tutorial you'll have measurements to make more using other products.  


    You will need your own stamps, ink, adhesive and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper using the measurements provided in the tutorial.  Everything else is cut & prepped for you. 

    *I make sure to use only greetings in my kits to go so you can substitute what you already own.  I used Sunny Sentiments, Biggest Wishes, Create with Friends sets here.  *Inks are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent & Versamark. 

    *Be sure to order by September 19th to get this kit!

  • Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia


    If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

    You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

    Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

    Here's how it's done:

    1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
    2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
    3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
    4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!  

    Here's the video:

  • Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!


    On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

    As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

    The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

    See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!  

    DSP Explosion card

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
    • White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
    • DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
    • Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”

    Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!
