Facebook Live Replay - Banner Sayings

 This week we not only played with the Banner Sayings stamp set and coordinating punch, but also the Faux Quilt Technique. Banner Sayings stamp set is an Online Exclusive Catalog #167044, it can also be bundled with the Banner Sayings punch.

Here is a close up of the card:


Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Banner Sayings

INK: Pecan Pie

PAPER: Mossy Meadow Base, White Layer, Inside & Tag, Floral Charm DSP

ACCESSORIES: Perennial Postage Dies, Dimensionals, Naturel Matte Dots (March 2026 Online Exclusive), Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder (March 2026 Online Exclusive)

Now sit back and watch the video so that you can see how I made this really cute faux quilt card.


Isn't this card just so cute?! I love how it turned out and I love that it uses those little scraps of DSP that we all hoard ad never do anything with.

Thanks for stopping in and have a great week.

Cindy
