Surprise! I am popping on at an ‘unusual’ time outside of my normal weekly Facebook live to tell you I am going live EVERYDAY this week!
I was inspired to have one last play with my Sale-a-Bration goodies and show you how awesome they all are before Sale-a-Bration ends this week! Wow that went fast! Over the next few days I am going to be showing you some fun ways to use those products that you have added to your stash or to give you some inspiration that might make you too want to earn them for FREE!
Today I am kicking it off by showing a fun, bright and whimsical card featuring a fun paper strip technique that is great for using up those pretty papers!

This card uses both the Toadstool Gardens 6×6 Designer Series Paper and the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins both of which can be earned FREE with a qualifying order until midnight the 28th of February. If you want to learn more, earn these FREE or shop my online store – click here.

Here is a look at the finished card and all that bright & fun whimsical fun!
This Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper is not only FREE but has a coordinating bundle that you can purchase to match. You can find it in my store here.

I added some glitz and glam with the beautiful purple toned sequins which you can also earn free while Sale-a-Bration is on.

Here is a close up look at the finished card with the paper strip technique shining in all it’s glory. Here’s a few tips for using the paper strip idea…
– Mix up patterns and colours – get inventive – don’t feel like you have to stick to one pack of paper
– Try mixing up paper types by mixing Designer Series Paper with cardstock and specialty papers like I have here.
– Mix up the widths and sizes of the paper strips!
– Try it by adding your strips to a different shape – think hearts, circles, tags etc…
