STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up pennant parade punch birthday ice cream cone The pennant triangle has so many uses.  Not only does it work as Henry's birthday banner, it's an ice cream cone (and a Christmas tree–let your imagination run).  NEW PRODUCT ALERT!  Pennant Parade rubber stamp set (used for the "cone" and sentiment) is available July 1.
  • NEW PRODUCT ALERT!  What could be easier than popping out perfect pennants with the Petite Pennants Punch.  Available July 1.
  • Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper (NEW PRODUCT ALERT–available July 1) offers plenty of patterns that coordinate for a festive look!
  • My snippet of paper piercing on the Baja Breeze "tag" is going to have to quality for my PPA100 technique.  However, I used oodles of punches if that qualifies as a technique?
  • I find the "wee ones" love having their names on their cards or envelopes.  The Sweet Shoppe Alphabet Lower letters fit perfectly within the 1/2" Circle Punch.  Such an easy way to personalize the pennants and envelope.
