THREE STRIPS CARD - ANOTHER “GO TO”LAYOUT

Hi Stampers!

Today I thought we would revisit a layout I use often. I call it the THREE STRIP LAYOUT.  It is easy to assemble, uses scraps of patterned paper as well as scraps of cardstock, plus the layout offers lots of options! The strips can be long or short and be used for either landscape or portrait orientation. The patterned paper can be layered with one mat or two. The three strips of patterned paper can be of the same design or  mix and match designs. All of these options make this a “go to” layout! Let’s take a look at the sample cards:
