Multi-colored Jumbled Line Collage Stripes by Jean Okimoto

Create a multi-colored striped background quickly - without gluing all 21 colorful strips. The Jumbled Line Collage die, paired with a striped 6x6 from the Garden Folly pack makes it quick and easy!

Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a striped-striped backdrop for the Layered Cosmos and Layered Fresh Flowers.  It's a bit of inspiration for September's Stripe Challenge too.

Cut white cardstock with the second-largest Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles die.  Cut it with the Jumbled Line Collage.  Attach a strip of the Garden Folly striped 6x6 behind the cutout - align it so the green stripes are positioned to resemble flower stems.

Cut two sets  of Layered Cosmos and the small Layered Fresh Flower from the dark peach Berry Red Collection sheet.  Cut the Cosmos centers again from a yellow 6x6 sheet in the Sunny Orange Collection.  Punch one of the yellow Cosmos centers with a ¼" circle punch.  Cut the Layered Fresh Flower center from the yellow sheet too.

Assemble the flowers.

Cut the medium strip from the Banner Sentiment Trio set from a lighter peach 6x6 in the Berry Red Collection.   Stamp the greeting - from the new

Deep Blue Ocean Clear Stamp and Die Set - with Pinecone VersaFine Clair.  

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-½" x 8-½") - attach the greeting with foamtape.

Color Clear Jewels with orange and pink Sharpie or Copic Markers.  Dry the ink and add the jewels to the card.

The Jumbled Line Collage is great with a wide range of prints, watercolored backgrounds and glitter.  Top it with related diecuts and your card is done!

Thanks for visiting - see you again on Saturday...

lovely. I really like the colours here and the design is well conceived.

Hi Jean! You are having too much fun with the Jumbled line collage! I just realized if you had some patterned paper that was a bit overwhelming, putting it behind the cut out lines might tone it down. I must try that! You have inspired me yet again. Hope to see you soon.

[Connie Griffin]

like the pretty flowers against the strips background!

[Jacky]

This card is so bright and happy! I can see that I will need to add this Jumbled line due to my collection! I really like the slimline cards that you design, Jean!

[Jean]

Thanks Johanna - this basic design works with fall leaves, ghosties, pumpkins, snowflakes, hearts, stars...whatever you want!

[Jean]

Thanks Jenny! It works w/ both overwhelming and underwhelming papers. If a print is too boring, diecut the collage overlay from metallic or glittered cardstock, or a really bright color. Missing seeing all of you at Tuk on Saturdays - we need a class reunion when it's safe to meet again!

[Jean]

Thanks Connie - this can be a basic template for so many diecut designs. Have fun creating with it!

[Jean]

Thanks Jacky! I've always liked slimlines - and it's easy to create slimline cards now that we have so many Memory Box dies designed for them!

Jean, you are such a genius! I love how you've used the striped pattern paper behind the line collage die AND lining up the green colors for the flower stems! Is there nothing you cannot think of?
