How’s your week going? My day job is keeping me rather busy, to help me relax, I set a bunch of designer series paper scraps on my desk and thought about what can I do with them, today’s card is the outcome of that. I’ve made quite a few cards that has left me with 1/2″ or 3/4″ wide strips, in looking at them I thought wouldn’t they make a nice background for a card front. Basically all I did was adhere the strips to a piece of card stock, then added that to the front of my card, trimming off any excess and not worrying about the direction of the paper.
Card Recipe:
- Thick Very Vanilla Card base 4.25″ x 11″, scored at 5.5″
- Piece of card stock (I used one that coordinated with the scraps) 4.25″ x 5.5″
- Strips of designer series paper, mine are 1/2″ or 3/4″ wide and various lengths
- Ribbon, to wrap around front (including the inside) and for a bow
- 2 1/4″ circle
- 2″ circle for greeting
- Rhinestones for Christmas bling!
Now, I’ve used strips for my card, why not use a combination of left over shapes, squares, rectangles or even circles in various sizes – think I just might to try these idea’s as well.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope this project has inspired you to try paper crafting. Have a great day – Craft On!
