Be Mine Banner

Hi friends! A quick share today.This is a banner I made using Graphic 45's ABC Primer and By The Sea collections. I'm entering it in their February challenge. I love the versatility of their lines, there really aren't any bounderies.

I dipped my letters and the cute little scrabble printables in UTEE, sometimes I forget how awesome that stuff is! As of the last few projects I have fallen in love with it again.

I love the tulle for tying it together! Some hearts cut with my cricut and teeny flowers. A few cuttouts from A Place In Time to give it more embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Banners

I told you all I'd get pics of the holiday banners I made as gifts for my aunts and cousins up here and so I have :)  These were made with all products from my stash.  I bought absolutely nothing for any of these banners!

Ok here we go  -

This banner I made for my aunt.  I used a DCWV Christmas Stack from last year. I can't remember the name of it.

 


















This is for my other aunt.  Again DCWV Christmas stack.  I love how the little window came.  I cut it with my cricut and then I backed it with a vintage postcard from a book of postcards I got from my lss about 4 years ago :)  The postcard is a little girl writing her letter to Santa.

                                                 

The next ones are for my cousins.  All are DCWV except the one Nutcracker Sweet banner made with G 45's Nutcracker Sweet line from last year.  My one cousin has two little girls in ballet so I thought it perfect for them.

With the Noel and Nutcracker banners I also used my Utee and dipped the flowers and ballet slippers. Just love em.  I should make myself one too ;)  My aunt told me that my cousin Peter who got the Noel one hung it on his tree since it was a left to right vs up and down.  Thought that was a great idea!

Hope you like them.

Holiday Banners

Hi everyone! Hope all had a great weekend. They go way to fast, but really, time itself is moving way to fast! Halloween is Thursday, wow! So this week I pumped out to really neat Holiday banners that I donated to Santino's school for their annual Fall Festival for raffling off.  One was a Thanksgiving theme the other was for Christmas.  For both I used my DCWV stacks, Autumn Melody and Arctic Wishes.  I gotta say, I am really happy with how they came, and didn't wanna give the Thanksgiving one after I had hung it on my door for pics!

Here's they are -

I used my cricut of course for the letters and the chipboard, which are tags flipped upside down!  I matted the print paper onto solid paper which is glued to the chipboard tags. Lots of Lindy misting, distress inking, stickling and such going on. As you can see, I have this going in a vertical orientation which seems to have been a big hit :)

Now Christmas -

For this I cut the pennants with my cricut out of chipboard, the letters from the Blackletter cart, matted two different papers from the Arctic Wishes stack.  The flowers I made by hand after cutting a poinsettia flower from one of the Christmas carts, sprayed them with various Lindy mists, then dipped them in melted Utee, shaped and put some tiny beads in the middle.  I added some glossy accents to the end of petals and sprinkled some glitter to look like snow.  You can see I made some dangling bead charms, dyed seam binding and tinsel to tie the pennants together.  Peace and Joy were cut out of foil blue, misted doilies behind at the bottom.  Music pattern paper cut and placed on the top and little sparkly fuzz balls on the point of each pennant bottom.  I used my new Sizzix Bigz medallion die from Brenda Walton for the medallions, I love that die! I just got it from the Scrapbook Expo two weeks ago :)

All in all I love them both.  Tough for me to choose one.  I love the Autumn colors and the up down style, but this Brooklyn Italian girl SO loves glitter and sparkles, so a tough choice :D

Hope you like, see you soon,

Authentique Pride

Authentique is in my top 5 paper lines.  I just love them.  I made a Fourth of July banner with their Pride line.  Love this paper!  I used my cricut to cut the banners and the star, some distress inking and tore the paper, putting contrasting paper under some of the areas, lace in others.  I made the pleated flowers and placed the USA on top of them.  The stars were cut from red cardstock, sprayed with tacky adhesive and glitter put on top.  I tied the ends with May Art ribbon (love!) and in between the U and the A I put a red wood beed to separate the pennants.  I kept it on the simple side just a few stickers from the line for embellishment.  Here are pics -

Hope you like it :)
