Banners Made Easy!!

Hello everyone...hope y'all had a wonderful weekend!! We had beautiful spring weather  all weekend and I had a chance to work outside. Flowers and fruit trees are already blooming...I hope we don't get a late freeze..yikes!! Next week I have to start working on our taxes so I better enjoy the sunshine while I can...LOL!!! Anyway....

It's my turn to host the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast and this week we are going to make banners! Banners are so trendy and fun.....they have been all over stampland this last year. Here are the deets:

1. You must make your banners from scratch....no dies, stickers, or chipboard banner shapes!!
2. They must be the hangy downy kind...not the flat sentiment type.
3. You can make triangle shapes, flag shapes, half circle shapes, half egg shapes, square shape, heart shape....any shape you desire
4. You can hang the banner shapes on Baker's Twine, wire, raffia, twine...you can sew them on or pop them up on foam dots....
5. They can be made out of felt, paper, cork, fabric, chipboard...cut them out with punches, a paper cutter, or scissors.
6. I made mine by punching out 3 squares, layering them on top of each other, and hand cutting the triangles so they all were the same size. The matting was created by punching out three squares from cardstock, laying one of the cutout banners on a square, and cutting around the the edges using scallop edged scissors....they were glued together and sewing was done along the edges. They were then taped to a piece of Baker's Twine and adhered to the card with foam dots.

The sweet little bunny is Rubbernecker's Carrot Bunny #84-09....it was colored with Copics and the Rubbernecker sentiment #14-0910 was cut out with round Nestabilities and popped up with foam dots. The sewing, seam binding, buttons, twine, floss, and lace finish it off.
