Spellbinders and Flourishes Blog Hop - Birthday Pennants

When Flourishes first laid eyes on two of the brand new die sets fresh off the production line at Spellbinders, we just knew that we needed a stamp set to coordinate with these funky and fresh dies Are you ready to take a peek?This fun set just screams celebration and offers 6 different pennants and flags all designed to coordinate perfectly with Spellbinders Nested Pennants (S5-028)& Spellbinders Lacey Nested Pennants (S5-029). There are also 9 sentiments and 8 accents in the set that you can use to deck out your pennant shapes in fun and different ways! Want a little more to coordinate with your cards? How about our new Strips and Stripes background set? This set offers three strips to use together as one background or separate as three different strips that coordinate with our Birthday Pennants set! Since the set was just released last night, we can show you it in its entirety now!Because we just knew this set was a match made in heaven with the Spellbinder's Pennant Dies, we asked some of their ever-so-talented designers to join the Flourishes team for a little show and tell! Make sure to hop on over and see....
Would you like to win these sets? Just leave a comment here on this post! We'll draw one lucky name for both sets and announce it tomorrow on the Flourishes blog! Here is the card that I designed using the Birthday Pennants stamp set from Flourishes.I used the Grand Calibur™, S5-028 Nested Pennants and S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants to cut/emboss the pennant shapes. I stamped the floral print stamp using Tuxedo Black ink and edges the pennants with Dusk Blue ink. I layered the pennants and used 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ to add some dimension. Next I stamped the sentiment and hand cut them and inked the edges with Tuxedo Black ink and Silver Stickles.I added a banner across the top with a beautiful Finesse Swirl Black Rhinestones from Want2Scrap. I stamped a border with the accent stamps from Birthday Pennants along the top and bottom of the card and added a few more black rhinestones. I tied hand tinted crinkle seam binding in between each pennant piece.I used the Grand Calibur™ and LF-168 Grand Labels Large to create the shape card. I used 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue™ from Beacon Adhesives™ to adhere all the paper pieces. I also added a little sparkle with Silver Stickles.
