Double Petite Striplets

 Good Sunday morning all!  I have another double day for you.  I have chosen two cards that both use mini striplets, but they are different dies.  The first card was started by cutting the decorative die from the Atlas Petite Striplet into a piece of coconut white card three times.  I added a piece of a deep aubergine card from my stash behind it then covered the entire piece with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I coated the entire piece with Iced Snow, which softened the colour a bit but gave it a shimmery coating.  I cut the Gillian die in white and backed it with the same colour from the background.  I mounted it in the centre of the card on foam.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags, using the next size up in the set to add a matching mat.  I seated it across the centre of the card and added a messy bow tied out of white seam binding to the end.  I cut the Exquisite Poppy die out of vellum and edged it with matching ink and added it to the centre of the bow as an accent.  I completed the card with a white pierced mat, a mat cut from the matching background colour and a final white mat. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  6 1/4" in size.  Scroll down for card number two

This card is one of those that is great for using up your old scraps!  I selected a bunch of thin strips of shades of aubergine again.  I taped them on to a piece of  copy paper   I stamped my sentiment in the lower corner using a Clear Perfect Medium pad and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I used the inside decorative piece from the Jubilee Petite Striplet this time and cut it through the left side of the card.  I added mounting foam to the back and raised it over a piece of white card to show through the die cut area.  I cut a thin white frame using the outside die from the set and added it around the cut area.  On another piece of white card which I cut slightly larger, I added sticky adhesive paper strips around the edge.  I peeled the backing off and coated it with white micro beads.  I completed the card with a white, aubergine, white mat as I did in the first card.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x  8" in size.

We are still at Ally Pally today if you get a chance, please stop by and say hi!  I will be doing a live hour on Hochanda today at 2pm.  There is a studio audience section so you can watch the filming live if you like as well!  I would love to see your support there.  All for now, Sue x
