I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder. Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it.

I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards.

Here is the template. Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.

Save

I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock. Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal. Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut. Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut. That leaves me with the center piece ready to go.

Here's the video for you:

Hey Girlfriend with a paper strips background!

April 14, 2021

Coloring these sweet girls can be intimidating but not with our Blends markers! Look at her!

Save

I will admit that my friend & team member Audrey colored this one. She shared a bunch of stamped & colored girls with me and I've made a few cards with them. If you look closely you can see the changes in color hue that gives great dimension. Such as her skirt. See how the outside is darker than the inside? Same with her cheeks.

The Blends markers are fabulous tools!

I had a bunch of colored card stock strips laying on my desk and decided to use them for a background. I cut some into thinner strips to add interest. I did not measure; they vary in widths which adds some interest & fun.

I adhered them to a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of card stock. Then I trimmed off the excess and added the entire piece to a piece of 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" piece of Black CS before I added it to the White card base.

The last of my 10 amazing card ideas for Paper Strips!

April 12, 2021
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'!

Save

Here's a favorite I made with 3/4" X 3 3/4" strips of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Pumpkin Pie.

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?

Save

~~~

This is another of my favorites! So easy and just plain fun!

Save

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?

Save
- Left features Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
- Right has Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight.
