I love the idea of using CANVAS!

I wanted a dark brown matting on my sticker sentiment, so I stuck it down on a scrap of cardstock, trimmed around it, and then attached it to my card with foam tape.

I'm here on my phone since I'm still at work, this will be a great idea for Fathers Day.

What a beautiful and creative matching gift set!!

I have so many scraps and this is a grat way to use them.

Here's a closeup of the finished card!

Awesome class & ideas!

Okay, onward to the pennant. I love the way this looks sticking out of the gift bag! I'm showing you a sample created on white cardstock, so it's easier for you to see what I'm doing. First, start with a square or rectangle of cardstock. Mine was 5.5x6 inches, but you can make pennants in any size you want!

First, fold in half, just to crease the very edge (I did this on the 5.5in side.) Make a small mark.

Next, line up your paper along the cutting edge of your trimmer, with your mark at one end, and the corner of your paper at the other end. I drew lines all the way, for clarity sake, but you don't have to. After you cut one side, go back to the top where you made your mark, and cut all the way down to the other bottom corner.

thanks for the measurments on the pennant.

This is what you'll be left with. One perfect pennant!

Banners and pennants are one trend I hope stays around for a while!!!

im late but im here, and liking what i see

ack!! I could not join the party...planned way to much stuff for one day....BUT at least I get to see a class I can LOVE!! Always looking for masculine scrappy ideas!!

You'll use this same process to create your pennant. I created mine from dark brown cardstock, to coordinate with the rest of my ensemble. Then I created a just slightly smaller pennant from patterned paper, to coordinate with the matting on my other projects. Embellish your pennant with stickers, and patterned paper however you'd like!

Awesome

thanks for this class

Cool!

These are awesome ideas.

loved this class.
