Flag Banner Happiness Card

spacer
If you saw my Week 4 Project Life, you got a preview of this week's card.  It's one of my POTD, but these are so quick and easy to make, they deserved a quick post.  I made a whole batch in no time at all.  Plus they use paper scraps, do you recognize bits and pieces from the clipboards and the pocket & flap book?  I have lots of itty bitty scraps laying around and am always trying to figure out ways to use them, my husband would not doubt attribute this more to my pack rat tendencies. 

To make:
  • Free hand cut out a triangle flag and use as a template to cut as many extra flags as you need.
  • Attach each flag, forming a banner.
  • Make little bows with thin ribbon or twine.
  • Attach bows with a mini glue dot. 
  • Stamp sentiment & emboss with clear powder, if desired.
  • Round edges of premade card and ink.

I can't decide which version I like better, the version with three or the four flags on the banner.  I think the one with three might have a slight edge, except for I like the red ink better because it really pops and contrasts against the white.  

The inside of the bottom card reads, "Comes in the mail" as they accompanied some happy mail packages I sent off to Sharon and Steph last week.  The top one went to a family friend in need of some cheering up.

Digital Kit Giveaway: A Little Outdoorsy Bundle with Kit and Template

spacer
I back with Snail Mail Fridays, my personal card a week challenge.  This time I've got a beautiful hybrid card to share, made with the kit A Little Outdoorsy from Louise Franks Designs.  Aren't the little houses adorable?  The rolling "hills" were part of the kit so it was so easy to put together this little scene perfect to illustrate one of my favorite sayings.  See the little winding road that looks like it's going "over the hills and through the woods", leading from one house to the other?  Cute, huh?  Yeah, I'm that cheesy!

I put a little message on the inside, you know I had to use that little blue bird!  The top is blank for writing a little message.  I picked up a set of little 4 in X 5.5 in cards with envelopes and it fits perfectly inside the envelope.  Just a little note, the colors in my photos is a little washed out because it was a little overcast when I took the photos.  In person they are more vibrant and look like they way they appear in the image below.
