Valentine's Day Banner
I "LOVE" this Valentine's Day Banner I created using the new Heartfelt Banner Designer Kit!
You too can create a banner like mine, or Stamp Your Way and create your own banner with this kit. Even better is that the kit is FREE with a $50 purchase, now through March 31, 2014. The kit comes with instructions to make a banner featured on the front cover of the kit. So you could make a banner like that one if you'd rather, and use it to display some of your treasured photos. Sometimes I like to follow the instructions step by step and other times I like to be creative and see what else I can come up with using the given supplies. This was one of those extra creative times and my Valentine and St. Patrick's Day banners were the end result. (Yep! I made a St. Patty's Day banner too! Check out the photos below.)
To learn how I made my banners, check out my tutorial video and instructions below. As always, I've added additional photos and a supplies list so read on for all the details.
Video Tutorial
Heartfelt Banner KitInstructions
1. Finish raw edges of each fabric pennant piece to prevent them from fraying. To do this you can either sew a zig zag stitch using a sewing machine, or hand sew a whip stitch. (Google how to sew a whip stitch if needed). If you'd rather not sew, you could alternately apply a fabric glue designed to stop fraying.
2. Stamp images using Real Red Stampin' Ink and Whisper White card stock. All pieces adhered to fabric pennants using Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive.
3. Make three pennants like the one pictured above:
- Create a border using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border and Scalloped Edge Border punches. Layer borders and apply to top of pennant.
- Cut a 2" x 2" piece of Real Red cardstock and apply to back side of pennant over the heart cut out area.
- Stamp images from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and cut out using matching Hearts a Flutter Framelits. Punch out center of lacy heart image using the Full Heart punch to create a heart frame. Apply heart frame to front of pennant around the heart cut out. Apply smaller multi-heart cut out to the center of the heart using a Stampin' Dimensional.
4. Make four pennants like the one pictured above:- Stamp horizontal stripe pennant image from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and cut out using coordinating Hearts a Flutter Framelits. Adhere cut out pennant to fabric pennant.
- Create borders using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border and Scalloped Edge Border punches. Layer borders and apply to fabric pennant as illustrated.
- Cut out letters to spell L-O-V-E using the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die and Big Shot Die-Cut Machine. Die cut each letter from Real Red cardstock and some of the chip board that is included in the kit. Adhere cardstock letter over the corresponding chip board letter and apply to fabric pennant.
5. Make two pennants like the one pictured above:
- Color emboss fabric hearts (included in the kit ) using Real Red Stampin' ink, the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder, and the Big Shot. Adhere hearts to fabric pennant.
- Stamp images from the Banner Blast stamp set: 3 horizontal striped images and 2 polka dot images. Punch out images using coordinating Banner punch. Adhere to fabric pennant as illustrated.
6. Sew fabric pennants together using the linen thread and sewing needle, which are included in the kit. Make sure thread lays across the backside of each pennant, so that it is not visible from the front of the banner. Tie over hand knots with the thread at each end of the banner to create loops for hanging.
Attach 4 mini clothespins to the top of banner and space them out as illustrated in picture. Enjoy!
