CELEBRATE Banner

002How cute is this?  I had SO much fun making it!  This is Stampin’ Up!’s new Build a Banner Kit (pg. 31 in the holiday catalog).  I saw these banners demonstrated at convention and fell in love.  And that was even before I made my own!

Click on the picture on you’ll get a much better photograph.  You’ll be able to see the banner closer up.  Each little banner portion is made from canvas.  I made the designs and letters on them using the Build a Banner templates, ink pads and my sponge daubers.  The kit comes with spritzers that you can fill with ink refill and alcohol to color your designs but I liked using the ink pads and sponge daubers better.  I thought it gave me a cleaner look.  The kit actually comes with jute twine to string the banner on but I wanted to try it with ribbon.  I really like how fun the ribbon looks….especially with the little bows I tied on some of the letters!

You can purchase a Halloween accessory kit and a Christmas accessory kit as well as extra canvas pieces and jute.  Of course I had to order these two kits and I can’t wait to play with them!  I’ll be sure to share them when I get them done!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
