Today I have created a video showing you the fairly new, and really fun and amazing Scrappy Strip card technique!
This technique was invented by a Stampin' Up! demonstrator using an indigenous painting he has hanging in his home. He created the technique using strips of paper - but not cut straight - to emulate the painting.
For my card I decided that rather than use solid colors (like the originator of this technique did), I would use up some pieces of Country Club designer series paper:
The patterns and colors in this paper pack give off a masculine vibe (to me) so I decide to use the Perennial Birthday stamp set for my phrase and to make a masculine birthday card idea:
There are two key products I think you need for the Scrappy Strip technique: a quality paper cutter and Multipurpose Liquid Glue:
With these two items you can create so many Scrappy Strip cards!
Here's mine, along with a video showing you this technique step-by-step.

Hi Naush, thanks for your comment. This is a really fun technique and can look very different depending on the papers and colors you choose.

Thanks Joanne. This technique is also fun using plain scraps - the technique tends to stand out more without the distractions of the patterns.
