Cardstock Strip Candle Card Idea
Thu, May 09, 24
We all know that Design Team Member Kate is obsessed with paper strips. She's back again with a great idea for cardstock strips--this time it's candles!
This is going to be your go-to card design when you want to use up scraps, need lots of birthday cards quickly or need male/teen birthday cards.
How to Make a Cardstock Strip Candle Card
Kate took out her strips dies (but you could cut them on a trimmer or free-hand) and cut out several strips in both 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch sizes. She owns a flame die, but you could easily cut the flames free-hand as well. You could even search through your die stash for a bird wing or leaf die that resembles a flame.
This is an easy card design, since the candles do not need to be straight and can even overlap. Add a birthday diecut or sentiment strip...or even leave it with just the candles!
