Oh, {Pennant}, how do I love thee!

One of the hottest things trending right now is the pennant...  They're all over papercrafts and so I thought I'd enter the 365 Cards challenge a few weeks ago with a pennant entry for a challenge using 10 (!) different pieces of patterned paper in our project.  Here are all 10:

The Designer Series Paper that I used for this project is called Everyday Enchantment and it's a Sale-A-Bration freebie available until the end of March.  With a $50 merchandise order, you could receive this package of 12 sheets (two each of six designs).  I'm going to need to order more before March 31, as it's fast become one of my ALL-TIME favorites (and once Sale-A-Bration ends, it's gone).  

I've paired it with Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Whisper White.  To make the pennants, I simply used a square punch to take a "bite" out of each rectangle.  

 Here's a quick video:

To make my "friends" stand out a little more, I've drawn the card stock across my Pool Party Classic Ink Pad.  It's adhered to a tag punched using the Jewelry Tag punch.

The "heartfelt" sentiment is from the Fabulous Phrases set.  I used the same pennant technique from the video to make the tab...

{Tuesday: Technique Video (Punch Flowers)}

Hello and welcome to the Studio! I'm sorry this is a day late. Stampin' Up! came out with an enormous announcement about its color offerings in the next catalog and I was completely distracted by this big news. I'll be publishing another post today about all of that excitement...

For the {Tuesday: Technique Video}, I enjoyed putting together the card above. I'd used that basic layout for a challenge a couple of weeks ago and then I used it in another challenge last week, but changed the colors and the textures a bit. I'm thrilled with this easy, effective layout that has eaten up so many of my scraps for me!

Here's the video:

{Tuesday: Technique Video (Distressing)}

Today's topic is distressing. I mean to say that the technique we'll be discussing is the practice of distressing, not that the very discussion of it will be distressing...

I've got another video for you! No jammies, promise! Below the link you'll find pictures of each of the projects I discussed in the video. Unfortunately, the video camera's resolution isn't that great, so the best way to see them is here, in still-life...

Here are some of the cards I shared...
