It is always difficult to see products I love retire, but I know we'll have equally beautiful Designer Series Paper in the next catalog. I have enjoyed creating with the Splendid Day Suite Collection so decided to use all my strips and pieces to make one last set of thank you cards for my December customers. I love this diagonal strip card partly because it is a great way to use up strips of DSP but also because it looks so unappealing until trimmed., then I am amazed how nice it looks. Here are the pictures of what I mean:

All Strips Attached to a card front.

Trimming has begun!

I experimented with several adhesives: Multipurpose Glue, Stampin’ Seal and Adhesive Sheets. The Adhesive Sheets are the winner for ease of use and minimum adhesive mess. 

As a mat layer I used metallic foils  - Rose Gold, a glimmer gold (just enough left for 1 card) and the remainder are either the Matt Gold  or Metallic Gold.

Sentiment layer is Soft Sea Foam with the detailed die cut to match the metallic foil layer. A little ribbon, an inside layer with a strip of the DSP on the side, and a decorated envelope complete these cards.

I hope you enjoy my card and that you find lots of inspiration on all the blogs in this hop! And remember to use up all your strips, bits, and pieces.
