I love these banners from PTI! They are so much fun and there are so many things you can do with them! I made these cards the other day and instead of using them for a sentiment, I used them for a fun design element!
I cut 4 of each color and went from there! Then I ran them all through the Big Shot with a Cuttlebug Embossing folder! After I attached each banner, I tipped up the ends!
I did have a few extra so I had to throw them on another card! Just enough to show behind this FANTASTIC Plain Jane sentiment from Verve!
These cards were an attempt at the Curtain Call this week! I couldn't figure out how to get that fifth color in there! So I gave up! :) I don't use the Rustic Cream color enough! It is such a pretty cardstock!
I am off to work today! Hope you are all having a great week so far! Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteThese are SO pretty, Laurie! I had intended to add these to my cart last time, but completely forgot! Now I'm REALLY kicking myself about forgetting. :(
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, Laurie! I especially like the second one with that fabulous flourish. Another PTI die still on my wish list. {sigh}
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are wonderful. Great mix of colors. I done something similar with ribbon, but I really like the texture the embossing folder gives to the entire design.

ReplyDeleteoooh,the second card is so well laid out. It really caught my eye. IN college my chamber singer group used to sing a song using that sentiment. Good times.
