Paper Pennant - How to

Hi, this is Cuchy, from Spain.

Don't you see pennants all over the net?.
Here you have an easy way to cut the triangles out of patterned paper.
I hope you understand my English and find the tutorial useful.
You're invited to visit my blog for other tips and tutorials.
Thanks!

1. Grab some patterned papers and a piece of squared paper, more or less the same length as the papers


2. Fold the squared paper and put some marks as a guide to cut the triangles.
I set mine 8 squares width and 9 squares height

3. Fold the patterned papers


4. And make a sandwich with the folded squared paper


4. Now cut the triangle out, following the marks



5. Form a line with all the triangles

6. And glue them around a string or ribbon

Ready to use in a project.

Hydrangea flowers from your heart punch

Hi all, Happy spring! :) its a beautiful day out today Ive been for my walk and there's not a cloud in the sky! God has blessed us this week in so many ways but in particular with an understanding of a deeper faith in Him which i know will see us through future hardships in life, its like the ultimate light bulb has gone on especially for me and i know i can shine that back to my family and friends :)
I had a really nice day yesterday creating these Hydrangea flowers how gorgeous did the turn out! they look just like the ones in our back garden! and they are soooo easy to make. I use the heart punch from stampin up for the flowers and the leaves and glued a half pear in the centers. Ive coloured them with certainly celery in the center and bashful blue on the outsides.

Here is another version of the same flower but with a larger 1/2" circle center. I also use the 2 step bird punch wing and branch for the leaves in this spray of flowers and the wide oval to add some curly vines. Glitter to finish!

And don't these look great with just a single flower on the card!

all the products Ive used to make these cards and more are from Stampin up and can be purchased through me here. you can download a print out of this free tutorial here
and now watch the video ! enjoy and have a great day..
Blessings to you
