Jaunuary 2010 sketch

Designer: Susan Weinroth

The Fiskars “Nice Tri” punch is so versatile – I used it here to create a pennant style banner for my card greeting.  Use my sketch to create your own card – and feel free to switch up the greeting, too.  Change it to “hello” or “happy” (and then add “birthday” somewhere else on the card) or anything you can think ok!

Instructions (Print version)

1.    Fold and score cardstock card base to approx 5x7 in size.
2.    Punch “Nice Tri” shapes from various colors of cardstock.
3.    Arrange “Nice Tri” shapes in a pennant banner form on the top of your card and adhere down.  Add greeting via alphabet letter stickers.
4.    Machine stitch through the top of the pennant triangles, connecting all and leaving excess thread hanging from each end.
5.    Accent either end of your pennant banner greeting with a rhinestone brad.
6.    Trim three strips of cardstock using the Apron Lace border punch and adhere to the bottom of your card.
7.    Top with a strip of glitter paper and then remaining colors of cardstock trimmed into strips.
