My 'patterned paper' strips are actually 10.5 x 9.9cm pieces of cardstock that we stamped with 'Boho Backgrounds' and 'Wow Flowers' and then cut into 1, 2, 3 and 3.9 cm strips. We made some medallions from the circle designs in the stamp sets, and then assembly was quick and easy.
These 2 stamp sets are such a bargain. Wow Flowers ($24.95) is tucked away at the bottom of page 140. 
The 'birthday wishes' stamp fits perfectly in the Word Window punch, and the others work well with the 1" and 1 1/4" circles.
Boho Backgrounds (p 107, $29.95) is also an extremely versatile set. It's great for male and female cards, and the medallion can be punched and layered in so many different ways.

What a fantastic idea, I may have to do that at one of my classes.
ReplyDeleteI love the layered strips like that, your cards look great. I actually assumed the stamps were part of the kit (obviously didn't read it too well...) so good you have brought them to light :-)
ReplyDeleteWow Marelle, these look fantastic. Loved these colours in the book and love what you have done. You never cease to amaze me. Keep it up.
