STRIPPY THANKS

If you're like me, you have lots of scraps and leftovers lying around from finished projects. Cardstock is so expensive, I really hate getting rid of even the smallest piece. Thus, when I come upon an idea that enables a crafter to make a cute card using up scraps, I'm all in!

You too? Keep reading for a tutorial on how to create a card like this:

SUPPLIES:

White cardstock

Assorted colors of cardstock scraps

Black cardstock

Big Shot

Amazing Thanks dies

Stampin' Dimensionals

Textured embossing folder

DIRECTIONS:

Fold a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of white cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock. Use an embossing folder to add texture to this piece. Add it to the white card base.

Cut a piece of black cardstock to 1 1/2" x 5 1/4". This will be the base to which you will add your colored strips.

From assorted scraps of colored cardstock, cut eight strips that measure 1/2" x 3". 

Add the colored strips to the black, starting with the two on the ends and adding them at jaunty angles. It might help if you lay it out first to get the color order and tilts that please you. Then, proceed with the glue.

Using a two-part die that says "Thanks", cut the larger portion from white cardstock and the narrow part from black. Carefully adhere the two word parts together.

Adhere the word over the strippy section.

Wth Dimensionals, add the completed strip to the card.
