Mix-n-match stripes

Oh this card is fun!!!
It's important that you get it off to a right start so I'll show you the steps on white with tan paper. 
Step 1: It doesn't really matter the width of each strip. I made all mine 3/4" & 1/2" & alternated the widths.
Start with one piece in this position. Doesn't have to be exact. Adhere.
Step 2: Place any square cornered piece of paper here to get your next piece nice & square. I used a sticky note. Butt another strip of DSP at this position shown below. 
Step 3: Place another strip as shown below. 
Step 4: Place another in the position shown below. That's all the hard part! Now just fill in the bottom with strips, cut edges at card stock. 
Add embellishments, stamps & greeting! 
A lovely card!!




"One in a Melon"

Its almost watermelon season!! I wish the colors showed up as well here as they do in person. This is Pink Pirouette & Basic Black & of course Garden Green. 
I used 1 1/2" circle punch & 1 3/4" scallop circle punch for watermelons. Then mounted & cut in 1/2. 
Another SUUUUUPER simple card!!
Enjoy!!

Star Baby!!

Love this sweet baby card!! This is another kind of card you need to keep on hand!
I used Wysteria Wonder, Pear Pizzaz, Soft Sky & So Saffron CS & ink. The little star punches coordinate with the star embossed background. The Square Punches are 1" & 1 1/4". Super easy!! 
Switch up the colors & use the letters for LOVE, YOU!, GIRL, BOY (add a little symbol at the end of three letter words on the last block  or just spread them out). You can do a great variety of things with this card!! Happy Stamping!
