EASY scalloped strips

This card was SO easy it's not even funny! All you really need is some scraps from patterned paper. You could even use different colored solid cardstock and stamp background type images on the strips to "decorate" them. I used scraps of my Deck the Halls DSP from some of the other cards I made this year. This card is a CASE from a card I saw (probably online) made by Debra Currier. If I remember right Debra used what looked like Stampin' Dimensionals to attach her strips to give the card some dimension. I didn't do that. I just attached each strip and then sort of curled the scalloped edge a bit so that it didn't lay exactly flat. Here is a list of the items I made to make this card.

Stamp set: Four the Holidays

Cardstock/paper: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Deck the Halls DSP

Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Other: Scallop Edge punch, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon, sponge

Cards for the Troops #5

This is one more of the cards we sent over to Afghanistan! There will be one more Christmas card (that I'll post tomorrow) and then it will be on to the birthday, etc. cards that we made. And, speaking of sending boxes to APO and FPO addresses....did you know that the post office is offering a discount for that kind of thing? The box I sent was one of the large flat rate boxes that should have been $13.95. I only paid $11.95!! I know it's only $2 off but with the economy as it is every little bit helps! Now, for my "recipe":

Stamp sets: A Holly, Jolly Christmas, Four the Holidays

Cardstock/Paper: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Real Red, Merry Moments Designer Series Paper

Ink: Old Olive, Summer Sun

Other: Top Note die, sponge
