Birthday Jubilee Scrappy Strips
I decided to try a technique called "Scrappy Strips" or "Paper Strips". It's a great way to use up all those leftover pieces of Designer Series Paper. I really enjoyed this technique!! So many different possibilities!! I used my all time favourite DSP, Magnolia Lane!!
I used Basic Black Card Stock 5" X 3 3/4" as my panel to glue the strips onto. Use Multipurpose Glue so that the strips are well adhered.
I cut my strips at 1/2" wide and 3 at 8" long. I started with the middle longest strip, leave a small gap between each strip. Then I added one more long strip on each side of the middle strip. Then continue adding strips 90 degrees from the first 3. You can use up your shorter strips for this part. The strips will hang over the edge, after you have finished trim away the excess. I embossed this panel using the Subtle Embossing Folder. I then glued this panel onto another piece of Basic Black Card Stock measuring 5 1/4" X 4"and attached it to my Petal Pink card base.
I stamped Happy Birthday onto a piece of Whisper White Card Stock and angle cut both ends. I stamped 3 flowers from the Birthday Jubilee stamp set, coloured them with Stampin' Blends, (Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow) and cut them out with my Paper Snips. The sentiment and flowers are attached using dimensional and finished off with some Rhinestones. I had a lot of fun making this card! Give it a try!!
Happy Stamping And Creating!!
Stay safe!

I have seen the scrappy strips technique done but I LOVE the way you've done it with the long strips on the diagonal and alternating strips and another angle, it's stunning. You've inspired me to give it a try! What a great way to use up some scraps. TFS
