Quick Strips Tutorial
I had a bunch of leftover little scraps of the new Palette o Prints designer paper and wanted to put them to use. So here is the project I came up with:
1. Place a ruler at the top of where you want your border of strips. Run a line of SNAIL (monoadhesive) just below the ruler and at the very bottom of the page. Start lining up your scraps in a pleasing pattern. Let them hang off the bottom and the last edge.
2. Using your personal paper cutter, trim the bottom and side.
Oh boy, some more scraps for a tiny border!
3. Add a strip of ribbon along the top edge of the strips.
The final card. Stamps: Warm Wishes and Everday Flexible Phrases – both on sale this month! Instructions for the butterfly are below.
