My first project is this cute little card:
I was stumped for a while as Stampin' Up! does not currently have any star dies/punches. I then wondered what would happen if I tried making my own using the Petite Pennants Builder Punch. BINGO! It took a little fiddling to get the arms straight but this was indeed a happy little experiment!
This card would be perfect for your favorite soldier, police officer or firefighter!
SUPPLIES:
PAPER: Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple and Whisper White cardstock
STAMPS: Petite Pairs
INK: Midnight Muse
Tools: Small Heart and Petite Pennants Builder Punches;
Big Shot, Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
OTHER: Dimensionals

Now that I am American, I thought I better find something patriotic for our front door!
I sewed pieces of fabric together and made a casing along the long edge of it. Then I unwound the twisted part of the wire hanger so I could slide the hanger through the casing. I just glued the star and beads to the back of the wreath.
SUPPLIES:
Fabric: Summer Smooches
OTHER: Wire Hanger, Star Ornament, Silver Christmas Bead Garland

Very creative! The wreath is great! I have wanted to make a wreath for a long time.... I love yours!
I also used the Petite Pennants Punch to make a star. I really like your card and the stripes on it. Love the idea of making a wreath with our fabric and a ruffle. Thanks for sharing!
Nancy,
I love your projects.. that wreath is adorable and I love how you used the pennant punch to make a star.. VERY clever!!! :) Thank you for sharing!
Nancy, I love the creative way you found to make a star with our current products! Your card turned out wonderfully! The wreath is amazing and showcases our fabric so nicely! Happy (belated) Fourth of July! It must have been extra special for you this year!
Your 3D projects of the fabric / wreath was great, looks like a complicated projects but no sewing involve! - Pam W.
What a great idea to use the pennant punch! Very creative. Love your wreath. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
I was thinking, "Ohhhh, I LOVE that card!" Then I was blown away by the wreath. Such great projects. Thanks so much for sharing!
Aaack, Nancy Love, your star card is fabulous! What a creative way to use the pennant punch!!! Before I read the post I was like" how'd she do that?" Looks like a die at first glance (and even though I know we've never carried a star die that looks like that, i was still thinking it was :-) I also like your wreath. It's simplicity is very nice and the star dangle is the perfect touch. :) Thanks for sharing.
Cute projects!! I love the star hanging in the center of the wreath!
Your projects are SO CUTE! I love how you made your star...genius! And I love that simple fabric wreath you made! ADORABLE! Good Work!
Great thinking using the pennants to make a star. Your wreath is so cute!
You totally rock making that star with the pennant punch!!! You are a freakin' genius! Must be that citizen test you passed. :) Oh, and that hanger wreath? FABULOUS!
Love the wreath! Perfect for a beginner sewing project! Thanks for sharing :-)
