Sentiment Flags is a die with a ribbon-tail end perfect for adding cute little sentiment panels to all your paper crafting projects. But why stop there? Together with ag designs we created a coordinating stamp set to *dress up* the Sentiment Flags die. The stamp set contains 5 fun borders and 5 uniquely-fonted sentiments as well as a cutey flag pole stamp to bring your sentiment to the center stage.
Let's have a look at the yummy colors for today...
And here is how I put these colors together with Sentiment Flags...
Card One:
In the interest of keeping today's long post as short and sweet as possible, I will direct you to the ingredients list at the bottom of this post, but will mention a couple of goodies. Here I used my Sentiment Flags die with kraft paper and stamped the fun dotted-line border in Elegant Eggplant ink and the Happy Birthday sentiment in Perfect Plum ink. I just LOVE how Sentiment Flags can finish off a project! I love love love the kraft flag. Also, you'll notice a parcel tag and some baker's twine which I will also link to in the ingredients section.
Card Two:
This might be my favorite of the two because I've used Sentiment Flags in a totally new way by making the flags into a banner. It was really easy to do. I die cut 4 Sentiment Flags and stamped each with the polka-dotted border and cut them down a bit and added my HB2U sentiment from some purple sticky letters I've had hanging around forever. I added a top border to each using a small scallop border die(MFT) and tied them together with some of my new baker's twine and a couple of purple buttons I've also had forever. I couldn't resist using kraft banners again. I just love the way they look with the purple ink. This is also a special card because it uses these cutey bunny and gift images from Chicken Girl Designs available at I Heart Papers from a set called Best Wishes.
Sentiment Flags die and stamp set are each made by the leading manufacturers in the USA and if you purchase dies and clear stamps from popular online retailers you are already familiar with the quality. It was my goal to bring you only the best products available. That's so important to me.
