Quick cards for Men using paper strips!


I thought paper strips were a perfect way to create cards for men.  So I chose some 1/2" strips of blues and greens and adhered them to a piece of White 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card stock at an angle. 

Add them at an angle, graduating colors as you go if you wish.  Once you're added strips trim off the excess on the edges.  

Next I used the retiring Well Written 'birthday' dies seen here and cut it out of the stripes piece.  I wanted the greeting to reflect the same colors in the background.  So easy!  

I adhered it to the Tasteful Labels die-cut with Multipurpose Glue. I stamped 'Happy' from the coordinating stamp set Well Said seen here and fussy cut it to add to the card.

Next is another card with the exact same colors but totally different.  I adhered 1/2" strips to the edge of a White card base.  I didn't worry about the outer edge until I was done; trimming it off afterwards.  I focused on the left edge being even.   

I added a skinny 1/8" strip of Night of Navy to cover up any unevenness on my left edge.  A length of Navy twine wrapped around and into a bow finishes it off. 

The 'you' is from the Well Written dies and the 'make me smile' is rom the Well Said stamp set (heat embossed in White) on a Navy Tailored Tag punch.

  • Neat fun fold card with a Blends/embossing technique with Fields in Bloom; video & free project sheet too!


    I really love the card I'm sharing with you today.  In addition to it being a unique fun fold there are so many great details! 

    I used the Fields in Bloom & Everyday Greetings stamp sets which are both wonderful. But what makes this card so special is the technique and the fun fold. 

    There is a second folded card under the window; inside the main card base.  For the window, I used the Everyday Details dies seen here.  They are in the online store now but were in last year's catalog. It creates a perfect window for the hill of flowers scene. 

    I stamped the flowers and leaves images in Versamark and heat embossed them in White.  Then I used Blends markers to color the embossed flowers & leaves. This is such a fun technique and super easy too.  I love that I can get these two large images colored in multiple colors this way. Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    It's photopolymer so you can see just where to stamp each image over the other.  Watch the video here or below to see how simple it is. 

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Shaded Spruce and a bit of Petunia Pop. Here's a shot of the window & fun fold aspect of this card.

    I used the new Everyday Greetings set for my greeting images.  See it here; it's in the online store.  

    I created a free project sheet for you. Click on the following link to download or print it. Download Fields in Bloom window card

    Below you can see the video tutorial for this card and two more card idea for the Fields in Bloom set.
