Banner Simply Created Kit

I always love decking my house out for the holidays, especially with handmade items! Well, Stampin' Up has made it super easy for us this year to do just that with their Banner simply Created Kit (item #133507), and accessory kit (item # 132697).

The kit includes 18 canvas pennants, jute twine, alphabet and image stencils, and stampin' spritzer. The only other thing you will need to create countless banners is our reinkers (I used real red and old olive for mine). Super easy to  put together and the creations are endless! Best part is you can reorder just the pennants and jute if you want to make more (item #132699).

The pennants are spritz with an alcohol and reinker combination--depending on your color is how many drops of reinker you use (I used 6-7 drops on mine). You mix it up in the stampin' spritzer, and use the stencils for the backgrounds.

After you've spritzed all the backgrounds, and they have been given time to dry, I stenciled the letters to spell out "merry" and "bright".

Here is what it looks at when all the stenciling is done, and laid out.

After that I strung it on the jute from the kit as well as added some extras from the accessory kit.

The added elements in between each pennants uses the buttons from the accessories and then I used paper in crumb cake, old olive, and glimmer paper behind the button.

 Here is the finished product hung up on the mantel:

I still have more pennants left to create another banner….maybe for Valentine Day!

Remember to stamp a little love!
