I had LOTS of leftover pieces from my class-to-go. So I couldn’t resist sharing one more strip card. šŸ˜œ

My plan was to make several of the card I’m sharing with you today. But strip cards take a bit of time because you have to think as you build the background. So I gave up on the idea of reproducing this card after making this one. Hahahaa!

It’s worth making these though not only to use up strips of designer paper, but because they are eye-catching and intriguing when they are done. Below are the details and my tips for this card.

Tips…

  • For the background you will want to place your strips of patterned papers either side-by-side or at right angles leaving a small gap between each strip. To start the design though, choose two strips and place them at a right angle from each other. (Look back at my July 7th post for details and progression photos for building a “strips design” similar to this.)
  • I cut my sentiment stamp into two pieces. If you don’t want to do that you can mask to omit parts when stamping.
  • After punching both left ends of the sentiment layers, stamp the white one and connect them with Seal Adhesive. Then trim them even on the right end and attach to the finished white layer with the strips.
  • The white layer with the strips gets attached directly to my Lost Lagoon layer. Then that layer gets attached with Dimensionals to the Lemon Lolly card base.
  • Press a small clear block into the Daffodil Delight inkpad.
  • After stamping and die-cutting the leaves and flower, use a Blender Pen dipped into the ink on the block to add a bit more Daffodil Delight ink to the center of the flower. Then add these pieces and the Glossy Dot in the center of the flower.
  • For the inside of the card stamp the word “hooray” on the small white piece. Then layer all those remaining pieces as shown above.
