Monday Makes … with Banners

Happy Monday!

We are here with another ‘Monday Makes’ for you and this week we are using the Banner Blast set and punch. Now I know Libby has made some beautiful cards with the Banner Blast Stamp Set so I thought I’d share a couple of ideas to use you punch other than just using them with the stamps in the Banner Blast Stamp Set.

First up today we have our pretty Banner Hello card …

This card was made with different lengths of strips of patterned paper. You just need to make your strips 1.5cm (5/8″) wide and you just slide it in the back of the punch thru the centre and punch to give the banner end. I just cut mine and varied the lengths a bit then layered them overlapping a little. This is a great card on using up those leftover scraps that you always get!

The second card I have for you today came from an idea that my lovely friend Patty Bennett shared a while ago ….

I love how ingenious people are and how freely they share their ideas and this is one I love! This card is cute and super easy to do and perfect to send to a friend who bring sunshine to your day!

I do hope you like what I’ve created for you and it’s given you some ideas for you to use your Banner Punch for or given you a new need to get this Banner Punch – remember its free with a $90 order until the end of March.

Now be sure to pop over to Libby’s Blog and see what she’s created for you!

Here’s what I used for my cards …
