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'!

Save

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?

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!

Nothing’s Better Than cards

July 24, 2020

Have you noticed the 'Nothing's Better Than' bundle yet? You will want to check it out on page 91 of the Annual Catalog.

Candace made two CUTE cards with it and the new Rainbow Glimmer paper.

First up is a fun card with a ton of stitched die-cut circles from glimmer paper for a background.

Save

Her colors are Just Jade with Misty Moonlight and Early Espresso. The stitched circles are all part of the Rainbow Glimmer paper!

Save


Her next card uses the same bundle except she stamped and colored the chocolates and cookies this time. I believe she used watercolor pencils for her coloring.

Save

The 'Chocolate' greeting die-cut is the same Rainbow glimmer paper seen here! You can see this cute bundle here.

Huge Stamping Sale!!!

This weekend is our annual Stamping sale where many of my customers sell off their excess paper crafting supplies. I have a fantastic crew of helpers I call my 'committee'. They set up the sale, do the books, and basically run the entire thing! I am so blessed to have them. Luckily they love it but it's a ton of work!

If you live near us in ND it's so worth a road trip!!! Gather some friends and stop in Saturday!

Remember, this is not my stash! I usually do not sell things here anymore. I save my items for my BOGO sales.

Save

Because of the huge quantity of items and the large number of sellers, I am unable to take requests for wanted items. I'm so sorry about that. I know these photos are a big tease to those who do not live near me and I apologize!

Save

If you live near us in Minot, ND it's well worth a road trip! It's Saturday from 9-3 pm for everyone. The Early Bird sale starts Friday for my current customers (those who have shopped with me in the last 6 months).

Amazing Flowerbug Team swaps!

July 22, 2020

This week and next I'll be sharing a bunch of recent card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's.

The first card is made by Annette with the set called From All of Us on page 93 of the annual catalog. She used Blends markers to color the image in.

Save

Her colors are Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. The card above was for last month and the one below was for July; both made by Annette.

This next card is a unique origami fold. I shared the 'how to' and video on this post here. I was grateful to Annette for demonstrating it at our last Team meeting. So easy and it sure highlights the main image!

Save

I LOVE the sign hanging on the cording!!

This card is made with the new Cinnamon Cider; one of our newest In Colors. She stamped the background tone-on-tone and the origami piece is made using the 6 X 6" 2020-22 In Color DSP. The stamp set is Back on Your Feet on page 92 of the Annual catalog.

Stay tuned for more fabulous swaps tomorrow!
