FUN little Mini Banner tutorial

Hello everyone Denise Hahn here with a "fun" little mini banner I created with Clearsnaps Queties, Smootch Spritz and Glitter. I love making these little banners, you can hang them anywhere! Across a birdcage, around a vase, on a door, a chair-back, even in layouts! They are quick and easy and can usually be made with just scraps. So lets get started, this is what you'll need:

Clearsnap Glitter- Winter Frost

Smootch Spritz-Vanilla Shimmer

Queties- Fiesta

Cardstock

Tacky Glue

Scalloped scissors

Foam core

Ribbon

Start with cutting out your foam triangles-cut a 6x2.5 inch strip then with a ruler measure out the pennants- I just eyeball it! Then glue them onto your cardstock, I am using October Afternoon Sasparilla Pony Express

Trim the edges

Ink the edges

Take a thin line of tacky glue ad run it on all sides

smear it down with your finger "tool"

Then dip each side into your glitter

I then glue down the opposite side of my cardstock, and snip each side with my scalloped scissors leaving enough room so it shows

So it looks like this!

ink it up using contrasting colors

give a light dusting of smootch!

Ink up your stamp, I am using 7 gypsies Vintage- Stamping  them on white cardstock then cutting them out. I then glued on some glitter alphas (Anna Griffin)

Punch holes in the top corners

Assemble by running about 18 inches of ribbon through the holes and attaching the stamped letters with 3D adhesive foam

The best part about using foam core is you can stick things in it, here i have just a little straight pin on a red vintage glass bead

just pop in tin the bottom and add just a dab of glue

I wanted to bring a little more of the green color into the design so I just grabbed a white organza ribbon and inked it with my Quetie!

Thanks for having "fun" with me today!
