Well, ‘best’ three times over really!
Banners, pennants, bunting, anything flag-y really, just floats my boat. Always has. Even that rather sad, dusty bunting that is brought out for shows and sales in musty church halls, still makes me smile. I guess the phrase ‘put out the flags’ is close to my happy place. Pull out a pennant, finagle a flag, bang out some bunting and you get my vote.
So, three cards, made with the same stamp and die set. Again, clean and simple in design, but I think the product suits the style. Hopefully!
One general thank you:
Another a bit more girlie:
The final one was meant to be more gender neutral. But I couldn’t resist a few sequins! Tsk!
Supplies: Concord & 9th Best Banners stamps and dies; Crafter’s Companion Elegant Snowfall embossing folder; Altenew Coral Berry ink; Hunkydory Adorable Scorable card in Pashmina (the pink); Create and Craft gold linen effect card

Very nice, Gillian! I had to go look up your Concord & 9th supplies to understand how you did it. I was thinking the patterned banners were washi tape.

Super cards. Great designs. I love bunting as well. There is something very British (in a good way) about bunting at fetes and in village halls. Ooo! especially made from vintage fabric. I want to make some bunting now.

The last one! It is amazing what that little bit of embossing does. Oh, and I think any man can forgive the sequins. It is a great card.

Oh, thanks so much. Yes, I agree about the embossing. It was the last one I made and I kind of then wished I had embossed the others too. Are you not scrapbooking at the moment? I have checked your blog a few times in case I had missed a post….

A combination of work and illness has kept me away from my pretty papers. Now that I am feeling better, I am hoping to return to some crafting. It seems a shame to have all of those supplies collecting dust. Where should I start? Card or layout?

I like all three cards … but if forced to choose my very most favourite .. I think my winner would be the middle card – (the one with the white with three pink dots grouped together pattern) – because it just speaks to that little person within me who likes all the gentle girly type things.
But all three are truly magical, Puff.
