Victorian Style Fan Card / Ornament--Now in PINK SATURDAY!

This is a PPS Original, a one of a kind design, based upon an old timey design similar to this one.
It's been revamped, altered to conform with our styles today, and has a brand new outlook. We really hope you'll enjoy adding your own creative touches to it!
You needn't follow instructions here. It's all pretty well self-explanatory. Simply print, copy if need be, and cut to join. The join might well be a corded tassel or it could be a brad or perhaps even ribbon streamers threaded through your punched hole. 
It can be mounted for scrapbooking in an album, and even sent as a card, once folded.
It might make a fun change from the usual family Christmas photo displays, with the oval frame center snipped away, then filled with a photo or other picture of your choice.
Actually, this might do well as a Thank You card, a valentine, a birthday card, a get well card, or just a decorative item.
This will be our very first time joining Pink Saturday! Go HERE to see all the fun pretties there! Thanks so much to Beverly for hosting this creative gathering!


We do hope your holiday season is a delightful one this year!
Happy Holiday Creativity!
Rose

  11. Mary Ann: We like the idea of it as an ornament, but would also suggest our readers may wish to revamp the style as a special ThankYou note (that has 7 letters for the 7 sections of this fan). It's fun to think how many different ideas this could open up!

  22. As soon as I take one with some daylight!
    I have a whole bag of little gold tassels and I tucked one of those through the holes in the base and hot glued the sections apart. Then I glued the whole thing to a clothes peg(That's like a clothes pin, but British...) and stuck it up on my fairy tree. Hubby was impressed! (Which is a big deal, as he's not at all girly)

    I was thinking of making some that said FOR*YOU as a gift tag, too.

    These are brilliant, Miss Possum!

  23. Junibears: Hi there! Haven't been caught up myself in recent weeks--too many tech issues! But it's good to see you again, and I hope to be around to return the favor shortly.

  24. Rhissanna: Brilliant Rabbit! A clothes "peg" was how I saw it being used most often when thinking how it might best hang and/or clip to any branch. Can hardly wait for the big reveal!
    *girlish squeal*
