Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with some fun cards using strips of dotted and striped patterned paper. I used the "Garland Stripes and Dots" paper which I just love because on each sheet, one side has the dots and the reverse side has the stripes in the same color.
Above are the two cards I made with the striped side of the paper and below are the two I made with the dotted side of the paper.
I wanted to make some heart cards with thin strips of patterned papers for the background, so I took the paper and cut both the stripe and the dotted sides of every color, into 1/2"strips. I glued them to a piece of white card stock and then trimmed each panel to 4.25" by 5.5" . The photo below shows the panels I made.
I took the "Double Stitch Loving Heart Cutout" set and with the largest die from the set, I cut a heart from each panel. I used each of those hearts to make two clean and simple heart birthday cards.
Here's the first one made with the striped heart background.
Here's a closer up of the birthday card with the striped background.
The word die is "Birthday Jotted Script" die and the heat embossed strip was stamped with the "Big & Little Words" stamp set. Here's the 2nd birthday card with the dotted heart background.
And here is a close up of the dotted background birthday card:
For the two other card, I used the left over piece with the missing heart and added a piece of white card stock behind the opening. Inside the heart I added a black heart cut out made with the two largest heart die from "Double Stitch Loving Heart Cutout", and the "Sending Love Posh Script" die, cut 4 times and layered for dimension. Here's a look at the one made with the striped background.
And here's a close up of the striped one. I just love how that heart dies leaves a double stitched edge.
The next card was made exactly the same with the dotted background.
And here's a close up of the dotted "Sending Love" card.
I hope you like my cards for today - I love it when you can get two for one when making cards.
Using the heart for one card and the rest of the panel for a 2nd card, really helps build your card stash!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

A great use of PP and dies. Love the designs. You always manage to come up with something that is interesting and yet still simple in design.
