Flower Pennant

Good Evening!

I have a new pennant / bunting pattern for you today, a floral design this time. I could see these being used to decorate a variety of celebrations such as weddings, engagements, anniversaries or maybe strung between the trees at a summer garden party.  I’ve popped a hole in each corner so simply cut, thread with ribbon and go :)

Pennants 3

Hello!!

I know it’s been a quiet round here of late but let me tell you that everything is back to normal! I have my new Silver Mean Machine (Zing) and it’s been put through it’s paces this morning that’s for sure as I was itching to cut some of the files I’ve designed while I was waiting for it to arrive. I will give you a little spoiler about what I’ve been up to…you can expect a variety of pennants, new background files and some invite envelopes. There are a few other bits but that’ll do you for now ;)

Ok, so today is the first of the new pennants I’ve made, pennants/bunting are all the rage right now and with Summer finally coming round they’d look great either inside or outside at a Birthday party. I’ve given you a girl and boy version to suit the occasion, I’ve also added a hole in each corner so all you need to do is cut them and thread them straight onto some ribbon or string.

Project Ideas

Making Glitter Masculine

Hi Guys!

My Zing has been a little poorly sick but the fantastic peeps at KNK are sorting it all out for me ‘cos that’s the way they roll :) It did mean however that I didn’t have a cutting machine to work with when I made my Father’s Day Card so I had to put my thinking cap on. My Dad does love a bit of glitter at Christmas, don’t we all?, but I challenged myself to make a non-Christmas-y yet masculine Father’s Day Card and this is what I came up with:

glitterstripecard

I picked 3 of the most masculine colours of glitter I had in my stash – black, green and a white with a hint of green. I cut a panel of white card then added a strip of double sided sticky tape at the top and added glitter to it, I brushed off the excess then added the next strip of tape and used the next colour of glitter and so on. As long as you burnish the glitter into the tape with your finger you shouldn’t get any cross contamination of colours as all of your tape will be nice and covered.

My next challenge was the lettering, all I could find in my stash were mismatched chipboard letters, one was blue and the other two were cream. To make them all uniform, I covered all of the letters with some black permanent marker then added a generous coat of liquid gloss to give them some shine, sorted! :)
