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.

  • Framed Florets card in blues; an easy layout idea


    And the blog issues continue….. If you're looking at this from a phone or tablet you may not see any photos.  But as of yesterday they did show up on a computer.  I hope Typepad figures this out soon!  

    This is one of the cards I demonstrated on last week's FB Live video. Each one features the new Fitting Florets collection of products. 


    The card was inspired by the colors in the pretty floral designer paper. I chose Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Soft Succulent with White.  The oval is from the Framed Florets dies; the flower & leaves are from the Framed Florets bundle. I colored them in with Blends markers.  

    The greeting images are so pretty; I love the mixed font.  

    In the video below, I shared three cards featuring the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP seen here.  This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last.  It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here. 

    You can see all of these new products here.

  • Sweetest Christmas card kit to go; opt in by Nov 17th! Or choose the PDF tutorial option.


    I have two different card kits to go in November; one Christmas and another 'all occasion'.  See them both (& more) here!  Each one also has a PDF tutorial option if you'd rather get that. 

    I chose the Sweetest Christmas designer paper as my inspiration for these special fun fold cards.  Here's a close up of one: 

    Each card is a unique fancy fold; showing off the fun patterns in the Sweetest Christmas designer paper. 

    I have a limited supply of this pre-cut kit as the Adhesive-backed sequins are unavailable right now; luckily I ordered some before they ran out. So be sure to order this ASP if you want it. 

    This kit to go includes the PDF tutorial, the 10 card pre-cut cards kit, a share of the Sweetest Christmas designer paper, green 3/8" ribbon and Adhesive-backed sequins plus 10 envelopes. 

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list.  You'll use the measurements in it to cut your new designer paper; everything else is cut, die-cut or punched for you.
