On Trend: Triangles

Hi friends. Today I have three cards to share. All the same design but with three different looks. Triangles are very trendy right now so I decided to break out THIS banner/flag stamp set and just use the outline images to create a triangle design....
A closer look at the first card...loving the gray/yellow combo (just used this combo to decorate our master bedroom)...

Next card close up....

and the final card close up shot...
So to create these cards, I used this recipe...

1.Stamp a background onto a card base.
2.Gather several different pattern papers that coordinate.
(1st card-Studio Calico papers, 2nd card-Project Life papers, and 3rd card-Lawn Fawn papers)
3.Stamp the outline banner images onto different pattern papers and cut out.
4. Create a triangle pattern design you like and adhere it to the front of the card.
5.Stamp your greeting on a strip of pattern paper and adhere it with washi tape.
6.Add a few gems for some bling.

(ALL STAMPS USED ARE FROM HERO ARTS)

*On every card, the two largest triangles are covered in glossy accents. It gives great dimension and keeps the card pretty flat so it can go through the mail easily.


I always like to make several cards of the same design and just mix it up with patterned paper or embellishments. I figure why not do it while all of your supplies are out. :)

I hope you have a great day...Thanks for stopping by!
