Friday is the day I link up to Friends with Flair sponsored by the Unity Stamp Company.
I may not be creating much during this tax season...but so far I'm creating at least once a week!
When I was searching through my Unity stamps to see which one I wanted to ink up, I came across this itty bitty...
When a quick scroll through my pinterest board found this lovely card...I'd found my match!
And it didn't hurt that it is a great use for my burgeoning pile of scraps...
I cut nine 3/4" strips, used this tutorial to trim the ends, inked the edges, and glued them on! The sentiment fit beautifully along the bottom, then a quick ribbon knot and I was done. I'll be making quite a few more of these cards, that's for sure!
Curling the edges of the banners adds some interest, but it still fits in an envelope easily.
Supplies:
- cardstock: stash
- patterned paper: BasicGrey (sweet threads)
- stamp: Unity Itty Bitty: You Did It
- ink: Ranger Distress Ink (walnut stain)
- ribbon: The Paper Studio
Thank you so much for stopping by!
