You may not have the same materials I used, but you could make a version of this with what you do have.

1. Use any background stamp
   - or some pretty Designer Print Paper
2. Add a horizontal strip with the sentiment of your choice
3. Add some bling: a button or brad; or a punched shape like a heart or flower or star.
4. Cut a couple of vertical banners from solid paper or from a designer print.

How to make the Banners:  banners are very trendy right now. They add a festive look and with the right paper they can fit any occasions. Need a masculine card?  Banners are perfect!
