Want another fun idea for using up your leftover paper strips?

Hi fellow crafters! I am hearing that you want a second idea for those left over paper strips! This this video is for you.

I am going to show you another fun technique that will help you use up lots of strips of paper in a really fun way.  Are you ready to learn how?

 

Here are a few decisions to make in order to create today's card:

 

Choose five coordinating colors from your left-over paper. I chose: Bumblebee, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and Gorgeous Grape. You don't have to use 5 colors; you can use less. 

 

Choose an image to diecut - I used two different die packs - Pierced Blooms:

 

 

And I chose Floral Gallery, which is part of the Art Gallery bundle:

 

 

You can purchase the dies separately but I am not sure why you would want to!

 

There is one other essential to make this project super easy (and less sticky) - Adhesive sheets!

 

 

Once you have this small number of items ready to do, then you can create cards like this one!
