Hi everyone – I am very honored and humbled to be a Design Team Member at Cardz 4 Galz – a Sister Challenge Blog for Cardz 4 Guyz. Here we will be posting every Thursday to bring you inspiration of feminine cards. Today’s challenge is use more than two Designer Series Paper and as you can see, I used a varieties of the DSP strips from Sunshine and Rainbow DSP. It may be hard to see but the rainbow is actually from a DSP as well and I just die cut out the shape of the rainbow and put it on top of paper. Each stripe of the DSP is cut at ¾” x 3 ¼” and this is such a great way to use up some of the scraps you have around. Thank you for stopping by and remember to join us at the challenge!

5/29/2022 - Addicted To CAS: Stripes - A Little Note

Happy Sunday! Today’s card is using Addicted to CAS – Stripes. There’s a technique called Floating Strips that I’ve wanting to try and I think this is a perfect challenge for it. There are several videos that you can find on YouTube but this is the ONE I used. Basically you cut out a window sheet with a desire shapes and glue on different colors/width of cardstocks or DSP on and then put dimensions on the back. I decided to go with the In-Colors DSP. I added a silhouette from a die cut and added a sentiment. I also put a Whisper White layer. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today.
