PTI Make It Monday #3: Glitter Strips with Scor Tape

Happy Saturday night, everyone!  I hope that you have had an awesome weekend so far!  Ours has been lots of fun!  We went out last night and celebrated our friend's birthday.  The celebration continued this morning as we all had brunch together at our house, and then we all just lazed around together.  During the lazing around, I was able to get a couple of cards done that were specially ordered by our friends Grant & Meagan.  They have had some friends and family have new babies lately, and needed a couple of baby cards to send with gifts.

The first baby card was a great one to take advantage of the latest PTI Make It Monday #3, to add glitter strips with Scor Tape.  There is nothing traditional about this card at all, and the glitter strip just gave it an even more modern feel to it.  This card is going to a family who are die hard Auburn Tigers fans....which I can relate to, as this household is as well {my hubby was born in Opelika, AL and raised an Auburn Tigers fan from birth}.  So, I went with an Auburn Tigers color theme for the card, and my friends are so excited to send it to their friends!!  Yay...I love that!  The other thing about this card...if you frequent my blog at all, you will know that I made a similar card last week, just a square version with different colors.  I enjoy going back and "lifting" myself of past cards that have become some of my favorites!  And the truth is...while they are similar, they still don't look exactly the same.  And THAT is what I love about handmade.

"Babies are Such a Nice Way to Start People" supplies: 

Cardstock: The Paper Company (white) & Bazzill Basics (orange) 

Paper: Basic Grey (June Bug: Admiral)

Pin: Making Memories

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Instructions:  Fold white cardstock in half to make card base.  Cut {3} 3.5x1" strips, and round the opposite corners of the two blue dot paper strips.  Adhere to the right side of the card, making a striped block.  Cut a 1" strip of vellum, and adhere a 1/8" strip of Scor-Tape at the top of it.  Cover the Scor-Tape in glitter, then stamp the sentiment below.  Wrap and adhere the vellum strip around the card, making sure the sentiment sits over top of the colored block.  Paint a chipboard heart white, cover in glitter, and then adhere to the left of the sentiment.  Tie a bow from twine and adhere it to the right side of the heart.  Cover a chipboard star in glitter, add a jewel to the middle, and adhere it to the top of the twine bow.  Adhere a pin to the entire accent, slightly tucked in under the twine bow and glittered star to finish. 

The second baby card isn't for the glitter strip challenge, it is just another one where I happened to case myself again.  I made a boy version of this card awhile back, and it quickly became one of my faves.  So, when my friends needed a second card that was more traditional...I jumped at the chance to make a similar card in a girl version!! Here is what I came up with!
