Pretty Little Banners | Nancy Damiano

Hey happy Spring, Felicity fans! Let's take a look at the tiny banners in the Caroline kit today. I love that they come pre-punched with little holes that are perfect for stringing. It's the first thing I thought of when I spotted them in this month's kit.

To create the banner, use embroidery floss to string along two of the cardstock banners. I like that embroidery floss is thicker and holds the weight of the banner better. Alternatively, you could also use sewing thread if that's what you have on hand. 

Next, try to think of products 'outside of the box' that they were intended! For example, the rubber charm hearts in this month's kit. That opening in the center makes them perfect to string along my banner. The add that unexpected design element that makes layouts pop. To anchor the banner, use two puffy hexagon shapes with a punch of color. And to add a dainty something, you can't go wrong with a suede bow.

The title is a smash up of my favorite things in the Caroline kit. I started with that bold aqua alpha and worked from there. For contrast, the script silicone charm was perfect. And for pops of color, the yellow flower die cut and puffy arrows were perfect. The stacked title balances out the photo, paper layers and the banner.

Create banners with your favorite bits and pieces to decorate your stories!
