Strip Technique ~Another 5 Minute Card!

 Welcome back to another Manic Monday!



Let's explore a technique today instead of a specific product.  

We all have leftover paper that we just can't bring ourselves to throw away.  I have pieces EVERYWHERE!  And I am way too frugal to toss it.  So, this is a simple technique to use up some of the stockpile!

These items are what was used on this card. **Please use what you have. I know, it is a shocker that someone gives you a video tutorial for free and tells you that you don't need to buy anything. I don't plan to get rich selling Stampin' Up!®,  I just want to share what I love!!

Items Used:

    Sweetly Scripted stamp set 
    Petal Pink ribbon
    Elegant Faceted Gems
        
Inks:

    Night of Navy
    
Paper/Dimensions:

    Night of Navy cardstock: 5½" x 8½", scored at 4¼"
    Petal Pink cardstock: 4¾" x 3½"  
    Basic White: 4¾" x ¾"
    Assorted patterned paper: Country Lace, Countryside Inn, Adventurous Sky, Country Woods 
    Cut strips of patterned paper to be ½" wide and 1½" to 1¾" long.  Cut one piece to be 1" or wider and     2" long.
   
Here is the quick video showing the trick to putting this together super fast.  *Please note this is probably the worst video I have ever done.  I don't know what happened but I am human and things don't always go perfectly.  Thanks for bearing with me and watching anyway!



Here is another card I made.
