Technique Tuesday...A Trio of Scrappy Strip Cards...Featuring Color & Contour Bundle

 


Feeling overwhelmed with scraps?  

Lost your creative mojo and need an idea?  

I have the answer......the SCRAPPY STRIP TECHNIQUE! 

This technique is a win win for me.....cleans up scraps and is easy to do! 

How?  Simply cut up scraps into strips....I did 1/2 inch but you can do whatever width or length you want.  Mix it up and do different widths on same card....just have fun with it.  

Here are the cards I made: 


This first card features the Pretty Peacock tones.  I added the strips on a slant for interest.  I stamped and die-cut a couple of yellow flowers for a pop of color.  The circles and the Nested Essential die cuts were in my leftover bits box, so I could also clean that up!



My second card is soft and subtle with the leftover strips of DSP in soft pinks and blues. I added the strips on an angle for added interest. All the circles were in my leftover bits box.  A gingham bow and some dots were all that I added. 



And finally, on my third card, I amped up the glitz by adding gold circles, gold ribbon, and gold dots.  For this one, I applied the strips vertically. 

Have you given this technique a try?  

What is your favorite technique?
