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.  

Paper Strips Zig Zag 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!

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?

  • Blossoms in Bloom cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!

    Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set.  It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps. 

    First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle.  I always love her swap cards! 

    Blossoms in Bloom Ruth B Save

    She used the triple time stamping technique.  This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.  

    Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4".  The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.  

    Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape. 

    Blossoms in Bloom Heather Save

    This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking!  Love this so much! 

    And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper. 

    Blossoms in bloom on In Good Taste DSP Save

    This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles.  My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!

  • Blossoms in Bloom; cut for 2 cards at once!

    The Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here was a big hit at my New Catalog open house event last week.  Everyone was amazed at the many options you have with the dies and stamps. 

    Look at these pretty cards!  They're made from one set of dies cut in half to create two cards at once. 

    Blossoms in Bloom sponged cards Save

    On these cards I die-cut one full set of flowers with both the thin and the thicker die in White.  Then I sponged each of them with the following colors: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.

    When you purchase this bundle you're getting a discount of 10% off. It's always nice to get a break on the price. It's also one of the 34 Bundles you can choose free when you purchase the Stampin' Up! starter kit here. 

    Besides the pretty distinktive flowers look at all of the greetings you get in the stamp set!  And the flower dies are nice and large and fill up a standard card fully. Or use just half like I did!

    I added some sequins in the flower centers and added a heat embossed greeting from this stamp set to both cards. 

    The white layer is 3 3/4" X 5", the black is 4" X 5 1/4" on the standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Coastal Cabana card base.

    I hope you enjoy the idea of getting two cards from one set of die-cuts.  I have more cards to share with you featuring this bundle; it's quite amazing!

  • Jar of Flowers shaker card

    I'm sure many of you have seen cards made with this pretty Jar of Flowers bundle seen here. It's one of our reversible stamps; you get the outline and the solid jar on one stamp! It's only $36.75 for the bundle. I know it's going to be a go to set for many of us.  I have lots of ideas with this set and I love that it comes with Mason Jar Shaker Domes!

    I just had to try making a jar filled with water & beads!  When I bring flowers into the house from the garden that's usually how I display them.

    Mine is filled with clear hand sanitizer (I had it right beside me) and our new Flowers for Every Season gems. And with my method the sanitizer does not leak out onto the card stock!  

    I stamped the flowers in Soft Suede and colored them in with Blends markers – Daffodil combo, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron.  I added the ribbon in two different ways.  On the left I secured it behind the dome.  On the right I adhered the cut ends on the dome. You can see how I did both on the video below.

    I hope you take time to watch it; you'll get tips on making a liquid filled shaker card and on coloring with the Blends too.
