Banners are a great way to highlight a sentiment. They look good AND they're a great way to use up scraps. Are you like me? I save all my scraps, so I love it when I find a way to use some of them.
How do you make a banner? There are several ways - what's your favorite?

Its super easy: when you look through the hole in the bottom of the punch. Put your paper strip in one corner and make sure its symmetrical.
You can control the size of the tail 2 ways: 1. depends on how far you put it in the punch 2. and depends on what size punch you use
The card above was stamped with a set called By the Seashore. Its kind of similar to a seashell card I posted in August. I really like the white wood look on this card - which again was a scrap strip of paper. I got that wood look by using our Woodgrain embossing folder.
The shell card above was used to demonstrate the technique of Acrylic Block Stamping, see more samples here. Banners are a good way to highlight a sentiment and using your acrylic blocks to create a backbround is a good way to highlight your main images. The card to the left was also made to demonstrate a technique. This one shows how to create a sun or moon by masking off an area and sponging around it. We did this technique for our September Technique lessons on Moonlighting, see more samples here. And, in case you are wondering, this card was stamped with images from a set called Christmas Lodge.
