Party banner made using the Giant Flowers cartridge.

Hello, everyone!

Today I have a party banner that I made using the Giant Flower cartridge and  Cricut Craft Room Basics. This banner coordinates with the birthday invitation that I posted on my blog last week. Click here to check it out => Daisy invitation

Here is the deal, I see people making banners all of the time. I did not think it would be a hard project and it wasn't. However, photographing the banner is where the problems start. Due to my lack of places to photograph it properly, you get to see some of my room.

I used CTMH and Coredinations cardstock.
I cut the ovals out at 11 1/2" and the letters out at 3" using  Cricut Basics.
The daisy out at 4 1/2" and the leaves out at 6"using Giant Flowers.

Thanks for stopping by this week. We have a guest designer next week that Joy will tell you all about on Sunday, so I won't be posting on Everyday Cricut at all next week. However, I will have post on my personal blogs throughout the week. So make sure you come and see me over on Courtney Lane Designs!

March Specials
The March stamp of the month is called Potential and coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge. As usual it is $17.95 if purchased alone or only $5 with any purchase of $50 or more!

Momof4inArlington said...

I love how fresh and bright the colors are! I've never made a banner, and I've been looking at LOTS of banner projects! Many of those I've seen, have been too fussy for my 5 year old's room. I hope you won't mind if I borrow from the simplicity of yours. Thank you, as always, for the inspiration. Don't worry about the glimpse of your craft room. It looks clean and organized.

Rebecca said...

That is gorgeous! I can't wait to get the giant flowers cart! I love making banners. Last weekend I made my first banner out of fabric. It worked beautifully! Great job on yours!

iI really like making banners for newborns, it is fun to make the banner a part of the baby shower decor (IF THE NAME OF BABY IS KNOWN)
Moms/Dads just seem to beam when they see a banner with the name and that they can use it in the nursery. I love seeing people smile at something I have made. Merri Lynn in Hazel dell

SweetMunequita said...

I signed up to be a Consultant this month! I still can't believe I did!

Unfortunately my Imagine is not working properly so ProvoCraft is replacing my baby with a refurbished one :( Every time I see my Imagine packed back into it's box waiting for the return shipping label I just get sick to my stomach. It's amazing how bad I feel! It's just a machine right??? Ugh. I've brought out the original Cricut but it's just not the same. I have a job to do though. 30 baby shower invitations were ordered just before my Imagine started acting up. No Imagine for 2-3 weeks!!!
