TX JENNYWREN'S NEST: petite pennants

HEY BLOGGIES,

This week I have been running so much with the move and the sale of our home that I passed myself coming and going!!

I have a fun card to share with you though. My two friends, Tammy and Denise, and myself created a fun card that we saw on my upline DAWN GRIFFITH's site. Of course we had to add some twists to make it ours, right?

Crumb cake embossed with elegant stripes embossing folder is on top of a pistachio pudding card base.
I added the ruffled stretch trim in pistachio as well. The sentiment is from SIX SIDED SAMPLER stamped with baked brown sugar and added to a scalloped oval layer.

I created the ice cream cone with punches. The cone is punched with the Petite Pennant Punch and run through the big shot with the fancy fan embossing folder to make it look and feel like a real sugar cone!! The ice cream is punched with the Cupcake Builder Punch and embossed with the dots embossing folder. The layer behind the cone is from the Apothecary Accents Framelits. I created the cute bow from 2 oval punches and a 3/4" wide piece of designer paper with flags cut on both ends.

The BLING I used is not from Stampin' Up!. The flat backed pearl is adhered on the top of the cone frame and the adorable ice cream cone is actually a button for sewing that I snipped off the back and used glue dots to adhere to my card.

I hope you have enjoyed my card. I used the sketch from SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY below for this design.

Why don't you jump over to their website and see what you can come up with using this week's fun sketch. I can't wait to see what you create!!

I also entered this card at JUST ADD INK.

Thanks for stopping by!! Come back again to see another creation!!

Happy Easter to everyone.

On to the hop: My first entry is my BONJOUR card. I felt like I should say HELLO and WELCOME to my blog. What a fun way to say hello with BONJOUR. I ordered the Hello Friend stamp set in French so that I could have it say BONJOUR on my cards. Many of our stamps come in both French and Spanish, as well as in English. Isn't that great!!

P
I used the wonderful new in-color pool party card stock, the new Spice Cake designer series paper in our HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG for the banners, and crumb cake and soft suede card stock (from the Idea Book & Catalog or IBC) as well. I used my sewing machine to sew the Petite Pennants to the 1/8" very vanilla ribbon (IBC) and two mini gold brads (IBC) to attach the banner. (The pennants are punched out with the Pennant Builder Punch (IBC). The other brown stitching is actually done with my mat pack (IBC) and then a soft suede marker to make it look like the thread.

See how well the designer paper and the card stock go together? Don't you LOVE how all Stampin' Up! items coordinate so well? I SURE DO.
