Jillibean Banner Card

We have just got these awesome stamps in at the shop and I couldn't resist using them straight away.  Anyway here is a little tutorial for you!!

Materials:

Step 1: Choose 5 coordinating patterned papers and stamp the banner image on each one.













Step 2:  Cut out each of the triangles separately and arrange into a pleasing colour combination.  This will give you enough banners for 5 cards.  Don't you love mass production??  So easy!!

Step 3:  Stamp the banner image onto your card base.

Step 4:  Layer the flag pieces onto the card base with foam tape over the stamped image of the banner on your card base.

Step 5:  Complete the rest of your card!!  I have used a 6 x 6 paper pack which makes it easy to coordinate the papers!!

Tip!!
Where you have cut out the flag pieces, sometimes you might accidently cut off a bit of the stamped border.....simply run the edge of the piece along the brush tip end of a marker to fill in the blanks!!
Finished Project

Just a Card for Fun

It has been ages since I sat down and made a card just because I wanted to!!  And I love how this one has turned out!  I think that I am addicted to kraft cardstock!!  It is so versatile.  The technique I have used here is emboss resist.  I have then used a blending tool and adirondack ink to colour over the top.  Too easy!!


I cut out this cute little tag on my Cricut from the Base Camp cartridge.  The main stamped image is a Hero Arts stamp called wild flowers.  Anyhow hope you enjoy!!
