More fun cards with leftover paper strips

I wanted these cards to be bright and happy so I chose my brightest colors of strips! 

This first card has 1/4" strips adhered to a White layer 2 1/2" wide.  

After I had the White piece covered with strips I trimmed off the excess on the edges and added it to the White card base.  Then I added the pretty dandelion White die-cuts (from the Dandy Wishes dies here).  That stitched greeting tag is from the Hydrangea Dies seen here.  Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins finish it off as well as a twine bow.

~~~

Next is a card with a woven heart.  I think it's pretty neat!  And it looks difficult but it's just a few extra steps to die-cut the shape. *Watch the video below to catch my tips on paper weaving. 

I share a good demo on this technique in the video below.  The strips are 1/2" and the heart shape is die-cut with the retiring Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.  There are 16 dies with lots of heart shapes & borders in many sizes.  

The pretty textures are from the Little Details embossing folders seen here.  It's just $3.20 right now; while supplies last! 

Here's the video for all 10 of my paper strips projects!

A beautiful scene with the 'Here's to You' kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

The April kit is called 'So Cool' with a 'treats' theme. Opt in to get it by April 10th! 

• The So Cool Paper Pumpkin Kit is a little taste of summer fun, with enough supplies to make 12 colorful, shaped cards with coordinating envelopes. Six card bases are popsicle shaped, the other six are semicircles: three watermelons and three rainbows. All of the cards are splashed with cheerful, vivid watercolor images. The kit also includes two full-size, matching sticker sheets, die-cut accents, fun embellishments, and more.
• Even though the So Cool Kit was designed with kids in mind, these fun-shaped cards, featuring vivid watercolors, are versatile enough to gift to kids of all ages—the young in years and the young at heart. They’re a great way to send some “sunshine in a card!” Who wouldn’t love that?
• The kit’s exclusive So Cool Stamp Set is versatile, offering sentiments that can be used for multiple occasions such as birthdays, congrats, cheer, and more! It’s a great addition to any crafter’s collection.

3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!'  So I caved....and am so glad I did!  The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love.  I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.  

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right.  I made them with the Bokeh technique.  It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.  

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS.  Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible.  this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud.  How do I know which colors don't mix?  Trial and error of course!  Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds.  Or greens & blues!  

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink.  I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock.  I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

Butterfly Bouquet Fun Fold cards with video!

I truly love the new Butterfly Brilliance products seen here.  They are so easy AND fun to play with.  I made three special fun fold cards on my FB live yesterday.  Scroll down to see the video below:

This first card makes the most of this beautiful Butterfly Bijou designer paper!  Use the side strips leftover after you die-cut the 6 butterflies from the designer paper.  So cool to make use of the pretty edges! 

Below you can see how it opens as well as the measurements to make more!  

Next is a fun latch card using the Classic Label punch.  

I created my own designer paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  Easy and quick!  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this fun card. 

I made my own butterfly paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  So easy and pretty too.  

Watch the video below to catch the tips on making these fun latch cards. 

Lastly is a double point fold card.  The two pieces of Designer paper are 2 1/2" X 4" scored 1/2" on the long side.  You need two pieces to attach under the White CS layer. Again, watch the video below to get the details. 

I shared how I made that striking solid colored butterfly in the video.  I just love these products!  See them here. 

I hope you watch the video below where I share how to make each of these neat cards!
