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


    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'! 

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

    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?  


    ~~~

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


    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?  


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

    Below is the video for all 10 'stripper' card ideas using leftover strips of paper!

  • More fun cards with leftover paper strips


    I wanted these cards to be bright and happy so I chose my brightest colors of strips! 

    This first card has 1/4" strips adhered to a White layer 2 1/2" wide.  

    After I had the White piece covered with strips I trimmed off the excess on the edges and added it to the White card base.  Then I added the pretty dandelion White die-cuts (from the Dandy Wishes dies here).  That stitched greeting tag is from the Hydrangea Dies seen here.  Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins finish it off as well as a twine bow.

    ~~~

    Next is a card with a woven heart.  I think it's pretty neat!  And it looks difficult but it's just a few extra steps to die-cut the shape. *Watch the video below to catch my tips on paper weaving. 


    I share a good demo on this technique in the video below.  The strips are 1/2" and the heart shape is die-cut with the retiring Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.  There are 16 dies with lots of heart shapes & borders in many sizes.  

    The pretty textures are from the Little Details embossing folders seen here.  It's just $3.20 right now; while supplies last! 

    Here's the video for all 10 of my paper strips projects!

  • 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.
