I’m not what you’d call a “tree-hugger” – I could stand to go a bit greener around here, so it’s totally weird and unreasonable that I’ve never carved my name into tree. Why? Because I think the tree probably doesn’t like that too much. I mean, how would you like it if people carved AD + AKG on your legs. Umm…I imagine you’d hate it. So there you go…if you didn’t already consider me to be a complete basketcase – you can go ahead and file me under “certifiable” after this little disclosure.
Today’s card set features the pretty, pretty Birch Trees background stamp from Clear & Simple stamps. I love it…and when you emboss it in gold…well, it’s just awesome. I was inspired by the carvings that you often see in tree trunks…but no actual trees were harmed in the making of this set. (Actually, considering I made these cards from paper, which came from trees…I suppose that’s not true. Welp. I’m a total hypocrite).
On each card, I die cut a heart and backed it with woodgrain embossed cardstock. To finish the design, I added these adorable & incredibly simple banner embellishments. I guess after this week’s Paper Ribbon Banner post, I’m still in a banner state of mind.
{1} Stamp a die cut banner from cardstock and stamp with your sentiment of choice.
{2} Fold the ends in opposing directions as shown.
{3} Fold ends back on themselves at an angle to create the look of a cascading banner.
TIP: Color the back of the banner with a dark maker (On this project, I used a dark brown marker). This creates depth in the look of your banner.

I have noticed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate purchase, a fee is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the percentage. Rather, they fight to win the commission through doing a agent’s occupation. In accomplishing this, they expend their money plus time to conduct, as best they could, the obligations of an adviser. Those tasks include revealing the home by way of marketing, offering the home to prospective buyers, developing a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, preparing home inspections, taking on qualification inspections with the financial institution, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing of the deal.
