This was a simple card we made today that uses up lots of thin scrap strips – which I always seem to have in abundance! It is as simple as tapering the strips and gluing them down with your favourite adhesive. I tend to either use Tombow glue, but others use the 2-way glue pen or the glue sticks for this, it really is a case of use which ever you have on hand.
The strips are cut and glued and the edges left over hanging until the entire card front is covered in zebra stripes, then turn the panel over cut the edges flush. I find this the best way for getting a neat edge to the front panel. The sentiment is from a new hostess set Express Yourself which has a great variety of greetings for all occasions (if you’d like to host a party to earn this set for free give me a call). I debated adding a flagged greeting or a button to the card, but decided in the end to leave it clean and simple, but you could dress it up a bit if you prefer.
A little bit of time/patience and you have a unique background to showcase a great stamp!
