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?

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.

Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!

November 21, 2024

This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap. This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose. I do love swapping!

We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity!

The first group are January through June:

Save

This next group is July through December:

Save

They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares.

Here's how I decorated the front of mine: I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies. I trimmed the corners to match the coaster.

Save

Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month.

These are January through June:

And these are July through December:

Each one is fabulous! I love seeing everyone's personal style.

More swaps from my talented Demo friends

November 20, 2024

I have a few more swaps to share with you today. These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products.

First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle.

Save

This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder! It's so cool. You can see it here in my store.

In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock. Yes; it is incredible!

Save

The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite:

This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart.

Save

That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here.

Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in. I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.

Check out these swap cards from the Otterly Amazing Suite!

November 19, 2024

Save

Two punched circles and a 3 1/2" square of DSP show off the elements in this Otter suite. The colors include Balmy blue, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

~~~

This second swap with the Otterly Amazing suite is made by Tracy Jacobs.

Save

She created a fun fold by cutting up to the 5 1/2" score line at 1". That layer is adhered to the back of the card base so only the left card front opens. Simple but 'amazing' too! It really shows off the playful scenes in the Otterly Adorable DSP. See the DSP here.

Below is the bundle with the stamps & dies:

Save

See this Otterly Amazing bundle here. Many of the images in the DSP can be cut out with the Otterly Amazing dies.

You can see the entire suite here.
