When I attended a Stampin' Up! Regional event this past February, one of the projects we stamped was an adorable "Create" banner. It's the one pictured in my blog header. I had so much fun stamping it that I decided to stamp another one, but this time with a Fall theme. (Click the pics for a closer peek)
Each of the flags are cut from our new Spice Cake designer paper using my Petal Cone Bigz die. The flowers for each letter were cut using my Fun Flowers Bigz die and each letter is stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock and then punched out using our 1-3/4" circle punch.
Before adhering the letters on the flowers, I used our 2-way glue and went around the entire edge and added our Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I love the look of glitter and our Dazzling Diamonds does not disappoint in the sparkle department!
The "ribbon" on each end is a piece of our Spice Cake fabric which I just ripped from the main piece so it's got that nice feathered edge. I also used a few of our Vintage Trinkets - I just adore these little pins and mini buttons.
The buttons are actually little brads, so they're super easy to add to a project.
The letters are stamped using our Broadsheet Alphabet set and I stamped the mini flags and some of the letter backgrounds with some of the outline images of our new stamp set Gently Falling. The little More Mustard flower on the mini flag was punched out with a *ahem* retired punch and added one of our self-adhesive Basic Pearls to the center. In place of the retired punch, I would have preferred to use the flower punch in our Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, but I don't own it....yet. ;)
I enjoyed stamping this banner as much as I did stamping my first. The occasions are endless - Birthdays, Baby Showers, Holidays... I already have plans for a Christmas one.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Happy Stamping
