I want to start off my post by thanking my ladies for last night! I had a blast at our template and technique club, thank you Lesley, Anne, BJ and Bird! (we missed you Kelly and Tina). I really am enjoying my clubs right now as I have the loveliest of ladies and nice small groups so we really are getting to know each other, thank you!!!!
For my template and technique club I try and teach a bunch of new little things to my girls. They may have made a banner before, but maybe incorporating fabric is new, or the little rosettes on the banner, or using the chunky glitter. There are lots of steps to these banners so showing all the processes I hope (and think succeeded last night) that they walk away with a project they love and also some new ideas!
The banner is made using the pennant die. The background is done in Basic Black cardstock. Then the layers on the banner are done in fabric! How fun is that??? The scallops at the bottom and the small pennants are all fabric (that I ran through the Big Shot, just like my little curtain from the other day.)
The little florettes (if you click on a picture it will enlarge so you can see them) are done using a 1 1/4 inch strip of the Cast a Spell DSP. I will do a video soon on these for you.
The letters were cut from the Big Shot Serif Alphabet. Then we covered them in Tombow Glue and the black chunky glitter...very "pooky" and fun!
I hope you like the project today and not to worry, I haven't given up on card making. I've also been working on some baby thank you cards and starting the birth announcement process so I can't share these with you just yet:) I will be back though soon with some cards:) Have a great day!








Banners look great Heather! Thanks for sharing! I also like the beannie - I crochet dollies- but maybe I will give a beannie a try since I have never worked on clothing!
