bunting cards

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

These bunting cards are practical, scrappy, and quick to finish. Three of my favorite characteristics of a project. :) I experimented with a few different shapes of scraps and a few different thread colors. It was fun to play!
I'm way behind on writing out thank you notes, so this project actually fills a need. I love that!
 I also love utilizing my drawer of ticker tape scraps.
There is no danger of running out of scraps any time soon. (I have a full post about my extensive scrap storage methods here....)
These are a few of my favorites from this round! This is scrap project #129.
 
Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thank you for joining me for finish it up Friday! Have a great weekend! xo

  4. Eep! I'm a fan of making my own cards and love the simplicity of your bunting ones. I'm thinking I need a little birthday-card assembly line to churn out a bunch!

  7. Ah, wish I had a finish to linkup - perhaps soon!

    I keep my scraps in large thrifted vases - I should post an image of that.

  8. Oh, I love these! So cute and they look fast. I have a whole pack of blank cards that would work well for this, thanks for the inspiration!

  9. Simple but very effective. Did you draw the strings of the bunting or stitch it? Inspired!

  16. Very cute! I like that you've stitched the bunting down, I will have to try that. I wish I had enough room to keep all my little scraps but they soon build up don't they?! I haven't even got round to using my big scraps yet!

  17. These are so cute. This is how I use my tiny Flea Market Fancy scraps. And I got an alphabet rubber stamp set so I can add something on the front like "hello" or "happy birthday" or something like that.

  24. Amanda Jean, Love the cards and I now know I do have a use for all those little dog ear cut offs. Been looking for some ideas to make cards for my sis whom is in a retirement community and loves to send and give cards for all kinds of occasions. Stitching up a batch for her right now. Thank you for sharing.

  26. How cute Amanda Jean! I can think of a dozen uses for those cards without even trying... Love them!

  27. Sure love this idea, Amanda Jean! Now if I could think up something clever to write on the inside, I'd turn this idea into birthday cards. I swear, Hallmark is still in business because of me!
