Happy Retirement
Have you seen all those cards on Pinterest and everywhere online using strips of Designer Series Paper to create a fun card front. I thought I would have a play using the Scenic Coast 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I cut two pieces of one pattern of the Designer Series Paper to card front size. Then I cut one piece of Designer Series Paper into 2cm strips. Cutting from the outside edges in.
The two outside edge pieces are attached to the outside edge of the full card front piece of Designer Series Paper using Foam Adhesive Strips, making sure that the pattern matches. The next two outside pieces are set aside and the next strips of Designer Series Paper are attached to the card front once more using Foam Adhesive Strips. So you have three strips of Designer Series Paper left over.
I attached the Designer Series Paper panel to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the greeting from the Sunset Coast stamp set onto a strip of Basic White card using Blueberry Bushell ink. I cut a “v” in one end of the greeting before attaching it to the card front. I kept the inside of the card simple with just one of the left over strips of Designer Series Paper attached to the left hand side of Basic White card. I think maybe next time I would cut mys trips a little narrower – but maybe not. What do you think, would it look better if the strips were smaller?
Bye for now,
