Only Joking !! Good morning to all my friends and followers. Today I'm sharing two cards I made at the craft group I go to a couple of weeks ago We like to try new things and that week our craft friend Carol showed us how to make paper strip cards its a great way to use up your scrap paper especially if its expensive paper.
These are the two cards I made. I decided to do Christmas themes but these would look good in alternative papers for birthdays. They look difficult but are surprisingly easy to do once you get the hang of it.

Card Recipe
6x6 cards
Kraft card is Crafters Companion
Maroon card is Ross Papercraft
Papers are (top card) These are from a pack that came in a magazine given to me by a craft friend Pam.
Second card the papers are Kaisercraft its an old pad but I do like the colours
First sentiment came with the papers and mounted onto a Spellbinder scalloped circle.
Second sentiment is Whimsy stamps Winter Letter Seals I bought these and a couple of custom stamps years ago from Whimsy in America the postage was huge and then customs charged as well so I treasure my very expensive stamps.
Wooden reindeers are from a pack I bought in Michael's in Florida
Rusty bells I got from Live and Love Crafts now closed
Twine is Brenda's Lace and Ribbon Specials Facebook shop
These are completely different to my normal style but I enjoyed making them Its good to try different things.
Enjoy your day everyone its so exciting the sun is shining here!! . Love and hugs Carole x
