The last project to share from last weekend's stamp camp since I already showed you the "Yummy Box" we made at the first of the month...the family pennant banner. I absolutely love how this turned out. Everyone's banner turned out so fun. Each banner was different but yet reflected everyone's one personal touch and taste! I just let everyone have at all my designer series paper and create their own banner. Most chose to do "family" but some chose their last names. They were beautiful!
After doing this particular project I realized that everyone could probably use a "Technique Tuesday" just on the Stampin' Up! Pennant Die.
Here's the step-by-step instructions to using your Pennant Die.
1. Fold the designer series paper or cardstock in half.
2. Place one extended cutting pad under the Pennant Die.
3. Place the folded edge of the paper on the edge of the lines of the banner image (this does not mean the edge of the foam).
4. If you're doing a small pennant on top, you might as well run them through the Big Shot at the same time...so line up a small piece of designer paper or cardstock on the bottom small pennant with the fold on the edge of the lines of the pennant.
5. Place your second Extended Cutting Pad on top of the die and roll through the Big Shot.
6. Unfold the pennants.
7. Adhere the two pennants together. I chose to cut off the top straight edge but you can just fold them over if you choose.
8. Decorate your pennant as desired.
I used the Serif Essentials Alphabet dies to create the letters for this banner. It's the perfect size for the pennants. Have fun creating your own personalized pennant banners.
