Flower Pennant

Good Evening!

I have a new pennant / bunting pattern for you today, a floral design this time. I could see these being used to decorate a variety of celebrations such as weddings, engagements, anniversaries or maybe strung between the trees at a summer garden party.  I’ve popped a hole in each corner so simply cut, thread with ribbon and go :)

Pennants 3

Hello!!

I know it’s been a quiet round here of late but let me tell you that everything is back to normal! I have my new Silver Mean Machine (Zing) and it’s been put through it’s paces this morning that’s for sure as I was itching to cut some of the files I’ve designed while I was waiting for it to arrive. I will give you a little spoiler about what I’ve been up to…you can expect a variety of pennants, new background files and some invite envelopes. There are a few other bits but that’ll do you for now ;)

Ok, so today is the first of the new pennants I’ve made, pennants/bunting are all the rage right now and with Summer finally coming round they’d look great either inside or outside at a Birthday party. I’ve given you a girl and boy version to suit the occasion, I’ve also added a hole in each corner so all you need to do is cut them and thread them straight onto some ribbon or string.

A White Wedding

Hello!

Today I am posting a project on my blog that I previously posted on the KnK Design Team blog in case you haven’t seen it and also so the files will be included into my archives for the future.

I have a family wedding approaching so today I have a wedding card to share with you, I chose a wedding cake design and although it is an all white card I picked card and paper with lots of shine and texture. I have included the cut files I created for today’s card at the end of the post if you would like to re-create it :)

The picture below shows all of the pieces you will need to cut with your chosen cutting machine, I cut mine with Make the Cut and my Zing:

– 1 sheet of A4/letter sized card scored down the middle
– 1 copy of swirly frame 9 & backing layer (cut file below) sized to fit the folded A4/letter card base
– 1 rectangle panel and backing layer to fit inside the swirly frame
– 1 copy of the wedding cake and stand (cut file below)
– Several copies of the flower and leaf (cut file below)

I cut my flowers and leaves from vellum to make them look delicate, I shaped each petal with an embossing stylus on a soft mat which encourages them to curl upwards:

Once I have shaped the petals I run the stylus around the center of the flower and it magically cups the flower:

To finish my flowers, I tuck one of the flower layers inside another with a little wet glue then pop a flat backed pearl in the middle. I ran my embossing stylus down the center of each leaf and glued them behind some of my flowers:

I stuck my swirly frame to it’s backing layer with some tape in the middle and some wet glue at the edges. For the top layer of my rectangle panel I chose a patterned vellum, I attached it to its backing layer with a small piece of double sided tape being careful to place it behind where the cake will sit then I stitched the 2 layers together:

I folded my card base and glued all of my wedding cake pieces together, I chose some shimmery card to represent the ribbon sections:

As all of my elements were prepared, my card came together in moments. I attached my 2 panels to the card base with lots of 3d foam tape then I attached my cake directly to the rectangle panel as the flowers give a lot of dimension. Here’s how my cards looks when it is finished:

Although this is an all white card, I hope this close up shows how using different textures, translucency and shimmer can add a great deal of interest to a project.
