Party Banners Dies

Hello again friends,

The Party Banners dies (#165264) are great for making banners for all occasions as well as using for cards. I have made this welcome banner which I have hung in the front entry of our home. The largest banner die is 17.8cm x 13.7cm (#7”x5-3/8”) so quite a large size. With 14 different sizes of banner dies you can make you banner any size to suit your requirements.

I used the largest banner die for the Highland Heather card (#147010) for the background. The slightly smaller dies were used for the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and the Designer Series Paper. This is a retired paper. We all have excess of DSP that needs to be used, don't we.

I dry embossed the DSP with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder (#165559) and the Highland Heather card with the So Swirly embossing folder (#163791). I taped these banners together.

The letters are cut from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). I don’t have the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) which would have been perfect. (I cut these with an Electronic cutter).

The butterflies are cut with dies from the Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614) using Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape card.

The flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269). I must be obsessed with this tape as I have used it on so many projects.

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the flowers, leaves, letters & butterflies to the banners. The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to each butterfly.

I threaded the Gold Ribbon from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the banners to hang it.

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

Hi everyone,

I have lots of images cut from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269), from previous projects, so here’s today’s card using some of the flowers & leaves.

The Washi tape was attached to a piece of Basic White card (#166781) and cut with the Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). This one die cuts all the images at one time, making it so easy.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder (#165559) and matted it with Strawberry Slush card (#165297). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I used 2 dies from the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) to cut the arch, also using Strawberry Slush card. This was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The larger flower with the leaves was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and all the other leaves & flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments are from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems (#165615). I added some glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

At this stage I have left off a sentiment and will put one on when I decide what I need the card for.

Party Banners Dies

Hello again,

I have used the Party Banners Dies (#165264) on this scrapbook page. There are 14 different sized banner dies so would be suitable for making large banners, scrapbook pages or cards, making them very versatile. The largest die is 17.8cm x 13.7cm (7”x5-3/8”) and the smallest 4.4cm x 3.2cm (5–11/8” x 1-1/4”).

I cut the photos as well as the Night Of Navy card (#106577) and Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) with the dies. These were attached to the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper (#164638).

The flowers & leaves are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269). (I seemed to be a bit obsessed with this tape). I attached the tape to the Basic White card (#166781) and cut the images with the Extraordinary Flora Die (#165244). These were then added to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) to cut the letters from Night Of Navy card. These were glued to the page with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Another product I love is the new Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270). These are the silver leaves on the page. These may be easily missed in the catalogue so check them out on Page 124. These rub ons are so easy to use. Just cut out one of the many images, remove the backing, place the silver/adhesive side on the paper and rub with your finger until the image transfers to the paper. Remove the top layer to reveal the beautiful image. This pack contains both gold & silver rub-ons.
