It's Day 3 of the Neat & Tangled February release, and today we're showing off the last of my new products for this release, the Skinny Strips dies and the Typed Sentiments stamp set.
The nice thing about being a product designer is that you can create the stuff you want to have in real life. I've been needing a set of thin strips for sentiments for a while now. There are 12 different strips. four each 1/4" wide in lengths from 2 1/2" to 4" in a rectangle and banner style. Then there are two each in rectangle/banner that are 3/8" wide.
For the Typed Sentiments set, I tried to provide a good mix of basic sentiments, but also ones that are a little more unusual. I think you'll get a good giggle out of a few of them!
You've been seeing these skinny strips pop up in a lot of projects already this week, so I thought I'd use them in a different way. I cut all four of the skinniest rectangle strips from five different shades of cardstock - just pieces that I found in my scrap bin. Then I arranged them along the bottom of a panel of white cardstock. Once i was done, I die cut the piece using the 4" x 5 1/2" rectangle from the Card Front Dies set.
The sentiment is of course from the Typed Sentiments set. Super quick and easy.
I did basically the same thing using the banner style strips and five colors of pink/red cardstock, but adhered them on an angle for this next card.
The panel was again cut using the smaller rectangle from Card Front Dies, and I added another sentiment from the Typed Sentiments set.
These cards are really so easy to create and I love that you can use your scraps for them.

Miriam, you are so clever. These are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell done Miriam these are both going to come in so handy, no more wobbly sentiment strips for me. As I get more into card making it looks like you're the person to tell what's needed. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI like the way you arranged the banner strips so that the form diamonds between each strip. So original!

on the second was fun.
