Happy Monday! Welcome to Make It With Mary Monday #10. Let’s get this week started with a little creative fun. I’ve got another quick and easy card layout for you this week. It uses 4 strips for added detail on a simple card. As you will see below, the strips can be of card stock, specialty paper, even ribbon. So many possibilities to customize a simple card.
Use any products or supplies you have! So grab some card stock and Designer Series Paper and any stamp image or sentiment you’d like. The photo below gives you the dimensions to cut your card stock and papers to craft along with me for Make It With Mary Monday #10!

Remember, Make It With Mary Mondays premiere on my YouTube Channel Stampin’ Peace with Mary Knabe every Monday at 10am ET. And I follow up with a blog post here on StampinPeace.com.


The beautiful card below features White card stock embossed with the All In A Row Embossing Folder rather than a Designer Series Paper. The strips are cut from Highland Heather card stock. The sentiment is from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set (coming March 2026).

Now for a masculine card using the same quick and easy card layout. The metallic copper of the Pleasant Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper shown on the card below works really well with Stampin’ Up! Pecan Pie color. Notice that I used the White With Gold Ribbon for my strips. The sentiment is from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set (coming March 2026).

Thanks for dropping in to StampinPeace.com for creative inspiration.
Make it a great week!
Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
