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.  

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.

• A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

  December 3, 2025

  ---

  I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

  Save

  I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

  Save

  This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

  Save

  Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

  Save

  I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

  Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

  Save

  It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

• An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

  December 1, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

  Save

  Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

  Save

  I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
  My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

  There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

  Save

  What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

  I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

  I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

  You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!
