Do you like stripes on a card… how about stripes on a Christmas card?… or SIX! Welcome back to my Same But Different Christmas Card Series for 2020!
I had such fun playing with these strippy stripes from Ellen Hutson but you could certainly trim your very own to whatever size that you like with a paper trimmer.
I chose some beautiful colours from the Concord & 9th Sampler Pack and stacked them up in all different patterns. It was very easy to do! But what makes it real fun is the critters that I added today starting with a polar bear from MFT’s Merry Moments.
This sentiment is from the Holiday Tag Talk set and I made it into a Chat Bubble.
My second card features a deer and tree from Ellen Hutson’s Santa’s List.
As well as a simple sentiment from the Modern Poinsettia set.
Next I thought it would be fun to die cut a ‘stippy’ sentiment using the Fine Alphabet Die Set from Altenew.
I added a sweet little mouse and some enamel hearts.
Time for some Christmas Cheers and a Sun-Lovin’ Santa flamingo.
I thought it would be fun to have the stripes featured in a negative space frame.
And here is a sweet little Penny Black hedgehog,
And a sentiment from the Believe set…. small sentiments work so well when you haven’t planned for anything else lol.
And my final design has the sweets little Kittens & Mittens cat,
with an ombre Hand-Lettered Holiday Greetings sentiment Speech Bubble.
Here they are together…
and more….
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I hope that you are inspired to create some strippy striped card designs this Christmas and if you do, I would love it if you’d tag me so that I can see what you create!
Big Christmassy hugs,

I love the theme of stripes with these cards today. We all have bits and pieces of card stock squirreled away that we can’t throw out and this is a great and creative way to use them. Those little animals make a cute appearance on the cards.
Merry cheers
Lisa
I have more than my fair share of squirreled away cardstock, maybe we could get together and use it all up lol
Great striping and stripping! (I said it for you!). I love all of your cards and your videos always give me a giggle!
So glad that you enjoyed this video Gigi, I had such fun with these stripes today!
They are all wonderful but there is something special about that little hedgie with the green stripes. My grinchy heart just grew 🙂
So happy that you like them Adriana, they were definitely fun to create!
Great cards Therese. Love the stripes and the sweet little images, all beautifully coloured. Think my favourite is the mouse and the CHRISTMAS die cut. Very clever ❤️
That little mouse is such a cutie, I totally agree!
Another EH product that slipped by me?? Well, I see those stripe-makers made it into the proper hands, my friend! LOve how finished each wonderful strip of cardstock has a perfect edge! KNow what else I love?? Every bloomin’ thing about every card! [you started the kitties without me! lol]
Off to watch… xo
=]
YOU are always my fave and yes I am waiting for your kitty… bring it on GF!
Wow! what a wonderful array of striped Christmas cards Therese. Love that they are not traditional but such a lovely way to make an amazing variety and in such a fun way.
Thanks so very much Ina, you are the best!
They’re all so beautiful. 💜
Thanks so very much Marisela!
What great stripping, Therese!!! Love this set of cards and the cute and not always Christmas stamps and non Traditional colours!!!.
hahaha yes, lots of stripping happening here today Helen lol.
Yep gorgeous and amazing! Still love the PB hedgehog. Will have to come back to watch the video – someone just made me pancakes! 🙂
ooh pancakes… I am trying to be good (too many Covid kilos lol) I have crumpets….. not the same but still a fave!
um yes definately Covid kilos here – no walking to the train since the start of the year, no lunch time walking for 4 months! oh and things like pancakes! Had my first day back at work this week since the start of stage 4. Youngest daughter has actually made an ab workout for me! Not seeing any results yet though.
Great video. A fab way to use up all those little bits of cardstock if you don’t have the die. Agree don’t know how I ever stamped without a repositioning tool!
ooh I think I need your daughter’s ‘ab workout’ too lol. My problem is I would look at it with the best of intentions… we were lucky that our lockdown ended quite fast compared to yours at least I have been able to go swimming again. I am also glad to hear that you are back to work, what wonderful news!
The workout is crunchies, dead bugs, russian twists and one other that I can’t remember the name of! Plus push ups.
My family are swimmers too, except me, and it has been really hard for them not being in the pool pretty much since March. Recently they have been able to get a couple of swims in, (hubby usually swims 3 times a week) but they keep missing out on the bookings – demand is high and very few spots!
Back to work 1 day instead of 3 until further notice. I’m rather happy about that, one day is nice! I still might make a dent in that stash. 😉
The workout sounds like chocolate & cake names… except for the ‘dead bugs’ bit lol.
There is my problem I like the sweet stuff! Really must start practicing moderation now my metabolism isn’t what it use to be! The last exercise is toe taps if you want to give any of them ago 😉
I absolutely love all of these adorable cards. I could watch this video for hours…..you are always such an inspiration, but TODAY! Thanks for all you share and wishing you the best.
I am so very happy that you enjoyed todays cards Maureen, they came together quite easily and I had so much fun!
The bright stripes with the cute images are a fabulous combination.
These ‘Strip’ dies made it so very easy and ‘uniform’ which makes my heart happy lol.
Really great cards … fun colour combo
Thanks so very much Gab!
These are all amazing. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration. I’ve been struggling with creating lately. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic, or just brain overload. This has given me some wonderful ideas. I always love your videos, and I really like that we get to see you in them now. Enjoy your day!
I am so happy that you were inspired Michelle! Sometimes the hardest part for me is just ‘starting’ lol.
Your luscious coloured stripped stripes paired with cute critters are all so inspiring, Therese … brilliant creative ideas, so wonderfully presented. Each one is special … my white space loving heart is especially taken with the Merry Christmas skating mouse and the Be Merry reindeer and Christmas tree! Watching you create is such a lovely way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon … merci mille fois! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Thank you so very much Anita, I hear you about the white space, it certainly makes my heart happy too! ps could you please send a little of that rain my way….
Echoing the others: your cards are strips-and-stripes sensational! Now I have even more reason to ‘collect’ my little bits of cardstock! Love these!
I don’t comment often, but do know I see – and LOVE – everything you make!
hugs~carol
You are so very sweet, thank you!!
LOVE these cards! Love the colors and simplicity of them. (although I think I would have had the stripes all wonky!) Thanks so much for sharing.
hahaha wonky stripes can look great too! Acutally they weren’t difficult to line up as the cardstock is quite sturdy. Thansk so much for your lovely visit here today Mona!
I love watching your videos on my ‘big’ screen. Since I get to see you when you introduce them it’s like having you in my own craft room. The stripes are so colorful and fun with the darling critters.
Ooh, on the big screen sounds a bit scary to me lol. Thanks so very much Bobby, you are wonderful!
Wow these are super awesome and I think their simply stunning! X
Thank you Angellica!
