Hi, Judy<\/a> here today! These three cards are made with mixed media strips made with painted paper and Adhesives Sheets 6 x 12in.<\/a> The patterns are one of a kind and nice to have on hand for quick cards. As shown in the photo below, I painted three different papers and used one for these cards. <\/p>\n

Make Painted Paper Strips<\/h2>\n

Cut white drawing paper or card stock to 6 x 12 inches. Use a credit card to apply thin layers of assorted colors of Distress paint to completely cover the paper. Allow to dry. <\/p>\n

Next, use mini stencils with black and white paints to add patterns randomly over the entire sheet. Add squiggle lines with stamp and black ink. Allow to dry or speed dry with a heat tool. Note that I applied all stenciling without allowing dry time between colors which lets the colors blend somewhat.<\/p>\n

Designer’s Tip:<\/strong> To avoid shifting the stencil when applying any time of media, try the E-Z Dots\u00ae Repositionable Refillable Dispenser<\/a> <\/p>\n

Apply Adhesives Sheets 6 x 12in.<\/a> to the back of the painted paper and rub well with a bone folder to secure the adhesive.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Mixed<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Cut paper into various sizes of strips. I cut to the following: 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 inches in width. Look at each card assembly below for length measurements.<\/p>\n

Sentiment Strips<\/h2>\n

Use black ink to stamp greetings on white cardstock. Then with its coordinating die, cut greeting strips. Choose which sentiments to use and leave the rest for another project<\/p>\n

Assemble the Cards<\/h2>\n

For card bases, cut three pieces of white cardstock to 5.375 x 7.50 inches and fold them in half to make three 3.75 x 5.375-inch cards. <\/p>\n

Card 1 (Best Wishes): <\/h3>\n

This one is a really simple design, simply cut the 1.50-inch painted strip to 5.375 inches long. Then peel the backing from the Adhesive Sheet on the back, and attach it across the card front. Place it about 0.25 inches from the cut edge of the card. Press well to secure.<\/p>\n

Card 2 (Happy Birthday):<\/h3>\n
