Another Fun Trick with Leftover Strips of Designer Paper to Create Fun Cards
September 19, 2024
Today we're learning Another Fun Trick with Leftover Strips of Designer Paper to Create Fun Cards. Tuesday we designed a birthday card just using strips of designer paper. If you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.
We're creating this week with the Regals papers---all 10 family colors in the pack and 4 designs (2 different sheets with a design on the front & back of both).
Here's today's card...
& a closer peak...
As with Tuesday's card we are cutting strips again..multiple widths in differing designs...the trick is that we are not cutting diagonal strips--we're just applying them diagonally.
We cut all 4 designs in a different width from 3/4 upto 1". These are then layered diagonally on a base rectangle so they cover the entire surface of the base...the parts that hang over the edges are trimmed with paper snips so you end up with clean edges all around.
The circle label is from the Spotlight on Nature as is the "thanks" greeting.
Then we underline the greeting using Blueberry Tinsel Gems (4 pack).
Stop back next week to see what we're up to!
