I totally enjoy making these strip cards! It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use!
You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below.
I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card. It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last. The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler. See it here.
I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies. They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog. See them here now.
Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one. Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.
The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set. See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here.
Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet. Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!
I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips. The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.
Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.
Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month! Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT. Check them out here:
This video is from a few weeks ago and the card kits mentioned are sold out. The pdf tutorials are still available however. Click here to see them.
I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies. I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece.
Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue
Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,
There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog. I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack.
I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper. I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.
Here's a Facebook Live video where I shared three pretty fall cards using the Beautiful Autumn bundle. Join me each Tuesday at 11 am CT for my weekly Live videos here: https://bit.ly/FlowerbugFB
