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!

Thank You Kindly

I will be so sad to see the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper retire.....but that also means that Stampin' Up! will be releasing some NEW DSP soon!!!! 

I used So Saffron again, I just love the softness of this Card Stock!

This is another card layout that I made for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

The card base is a standard 5 1/2" X  8 1/2" and scored at 
4 1/4". I cut 3/4" off of the right hand side. The Designer Series Paper measures 3 1/4" X  5 1/4" with a strip of Whisper White Card Stock cut out with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and attached onto the right side under the DSP. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut out the fancy circle with So Saffron Card Stock. The Whisper White centre was punched out with a 2" Circle Punch and I stamped the flowers from the Botanical Prints Medley in Petal Pink and the sentiment is stamped in Memento Black Ink. I added a strip of Metallic Edged Petal Pink Ribbon under the circles. A quick and easy card with a different look by cutting off the 3/4" strip.

Stay Safe, Stay Strong.

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Band Together Magnolia Bloom

It's hard to see how much sparkle is in this beautiful ornate frame!! I used the Band Together Bundle to create this card. The base is Whisper White with a layer of Mossy Meadow and then the beautiful Magnolia Lane Designer Series paper. The frame is die cut with Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The die set cuts out little tabs but I chose to cut them off. I finished the card off with a sentiment from the set on a Whisper White Oval, also included in the Band Together Bundle. This was a quick card to put together but so elegant!!

Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Whisper White and Mossy Meadow
Stamps: Band Together
Ink: Memento Black
Accessories: Detailed Band Dies, Magnolia Lane DSP and Sparkle Glimmer Paper

Happy Stamping and Creating!!

Joyful Christmas

Another Challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

Check it out here:
https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

I love how vibrant this card is!! The Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Gold and Basic Black are so stunning together!!!
This card came together quickly with the help of the FMS challenge!
I first embossed the lower part of the Cherry Cobbler panel with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, it adds just a hint of movement and interest. The floral panel is the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. I die cut a few circles, off-set the Very Vanilla circle over the Basic Black circle, stamped my sentiment in Memento Black and again in Cherry Cobbler, trimming the word Christmas out and popping it up on top. The beautiful Gold Shimmer Ribbon is from the Christmastime Is Here Suite. I finished it off with a few Gold Metallic Pearls. 

Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black
Ink: Memento Ink and Cherry Cobbler
Stamps: Beauty and Joy
Accessories: Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, Stitched Shapes, Layering Circles, metallic Pearls, Magnolia Lane DSP, Blends and Shimmer Gold Ribbon.

Happy Stamping and Creating!!
