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.
They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products! Including stamp sets! But beware that many are in French. Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.
I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.
The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front. But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other. So cool! I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.
I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here.
Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front.
I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards.
Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut. The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique! I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.
