two ways to use paper strips by Karly

While you may wonder why I posted these two cards of Karly's on the same page, it's cuz they showcase two different ways you can piece your paper colors to create two completely different looks. (I've studied and studied these cards, Kar!!  Keep them coming!)

ice cream anyone?

Sprinkles of Life is a fun fun fun stamp set with coordinating punch that I don't use nearly often enough. Here's a really simple and quick card made from Sprinkles. You could dress it up with string or ribbon or buttons or candy dots or ANYTHING!! I left it clean and simple today.

Botanical Blooms and DSP

For all of you who know I seldom use DSP (aka designer series paper) you may be surprised at these cards in this post. My little challenge to myself was simply "Use that paper, girl!" And so I present you with DSP!!! I still have stress knowing how to use some of it, but maybe my handicap will disappear as I continue doing as I did here. We also used these cards as our make-and-take at my last Open House.

I'm so enthused about these Botanical dies, though. That leafy viney thing is the Perfect Edging for any sort of card. Here, the DSP behind it makes it really show up.
