Today I’m going to teach you how to make a cute little banner to include on your next layout or card.

Start with stamping your pennant pieces on a variety of fun patterned papers.  For my banner, I used the open scalloped pennant stamp from the new stamp set, Pennants.

Trim all the excess paper around the edges like the top piece on the left side.

Now take each piece and flip it to the back side and apply some adhesive to it at the top of each piece.  In this case, I used some Zapdots by Helmar, one of our partner companies here at myStampBOX.

Next, take a piece of string or jute in this case and apply it to the surface of the adhesive and wrap it around the string to hold it and make it appear more 3 dimensional on your project.  You may need to the trim any excess paper that shows in the front.

And lastly, apply some fun 3D adhesive to the back of each piece of your banner to pop it off of your project.  I used some fabulous black foam adhesive circles from Helmar.

And now adhere it to your project.  Here is my end result…

Make a Wish

To make my page complete, I used some more fabulous stamps sets from myStampBOX:

“make” – I used the Rough Copy Alphabet.

“a” – I used the Mini Alphabet – Small Box stamp set.

“WISH” – I used the Royal Flush alphabet set.

“birthday candles” - I used the Happy Birthday – Small Box stamp set.

“banner pieces” - I used the new set stamp set, “Pennants“… soon to be released!

So make sure you keep your eyes on the myStampBOX store for this fabulous new release and try making a fun banner to add to your next project!

Happy stampin’!

With this step by step I would like to show you how to use the solid stamp to create a very linear and quick greeting card.

Materials needed:

Stamp Sets used:
BOO
FLOATING LEAVES
GELEGENTLICHES

I have stamped the solid dot in two different ink colours onto white cardstock and punched them with a circle punch, still showing some white frame, as I prefer this look.

Punch slightly larger circles in a cardstock colour that matched your stamped image and layer

Using a variety of cardstock scraps in colours matching my chosen colour scheme, I started layering the background for my card.

Now adhere the stamped images to the background and add some sentiments and a little leaf image to complete your card.

So I chose a simple colour palette of blue, purple, green and white to create my birthday cards.

Birthday Gifts

For my row of gifts, I create a reusable gift mask from the Happy Birthday stamp set and created a little line of wrapped gifts.  I coloured them with Copic markers and added some Stickles for a little touch of whimsy!

Frosted Birthday Cake

I first created the piece of purple paper with the multiple rows of the “Happy Birthday to you” message from the Lines in Life stamp set  in white embossing powder.  I then cut out the scalloped circle from the purple paper with my Spellbinder’s Nestability and stamped a little paper pieced cake from the Happy Birthday stamp set to add to the center.  The frosting on the cake is some Liquid Applique to create some additional dimension.

Birthday Bouquet

For this card, I stamped the flower from Happy Birthday stamp set multiple times all over the front of my white card.  I coloured in my flowers with my Copics and then put clear embossing powder and heat embossed them.  I then used my Copic air brush system and air brushed some soft purples and greens over the front and then spritzed on some Glimmer Mist for some fun speckles.

Large Candles

For this card I create a candle mask using the large candle from the Happy Birthday stamp set and created a row of large candles.   I coloured them using my Copic markers and then added some Stickles to the melted wax part of the candle for some glittery fun.  Since the birthday greeting from the Lines of Life stamp set is quite flexible, I bent it into a curved shape and stamped it above the candles.

I hope you enjoying peaking at my birthday card creations today.  I hope these cards inspire you to create some birthday cards of your own.

Happy celebrating!

For this card, I used the “Small Greetings” set, and the “Happy Birthday” set. I love that the birthday set has “non birthday” images as well. The flower can be used for a variety of occasions making it so much more versatile.

I used the same two stamp sets to create this fun card, which could also be used as a party invitation! I added some dimensional adhesive to make it really “pop”.
