When a card just isn’t enough

Sometimes I feel that the things people do for me go above and beyond a simple paper card.  So with this in mind, I created this fun little decorative way to say thank you. Or any sentiment really. You could do a welcome banner and use it as decor near your door.

While digging around in my craft supplied I found all these craft sticks which I believe I used at school.I wondered if you could stamp on them then got the idea to create this cute fence. The background stamp worked wonderfully. I glued two cross sticks to the back first so that all the pieces would be able to stamp on the background stamp at the same time.

The flower I made using the spiral flower die and big shot. I wanted to add a middle gem but nothing I had was big enough so after the flower was glued on the bottom, I added a huge glob right in the middle to serve as the middle gem. I might try adding glitter before it totally cools to add more sparkle. I have mine propped up by a photo frame holder but you could easily add ribbon to make it a hanging decor as well. Or add a photo, or use as a post it holder, the possibilities are endless for personal design. I know I sure had fun making it.

Full disclosure- I don’t remember what the scrap of green I used on the leaves so I guessed.
