My Creative Scrapbook - Recreating Banners

Hi There,

I have a little tutorial to share for recreating the banner as seen on my layout created for My Creative Scrapbook with their Limited Edition June Kit.

Banners or Buntings are not only super sweet but are also super fun to make.  I must confess that they are often a feature of my creations from time to time.

They can be made from your scraps of patterned papers and are a quick and easy way of adding a customized accent to your paper crafting project.

To recreate a banner/bunting as seen on my layout -‘Little Girls have magic all of their own’

Create a curved line – I traced around part of a dessert bowl to create the curve and then draw the triangles along the curved line. 

Then simply cut out around the lines which you have drawn 

The banner was attached with foam dots to add some dimension.  Die Cut elements from the My Creative Scrapbook June Limited Edition Kit were then attached over the top.

Try altering the size of the banner by adjusting the length and curvature of the line.  The size and shape of the ‘flag’ can also be adjusted. 

'She’s a little Princess’

 Instead of a triangle why not try a different shape as I have done here.

My Creative Scrapbook Reveals

Hello!!

Earlier in the week, I shared some sneak peaks of my creations using the My Creative Scrapbook June Limited Edition Kit.

 This kit ROCKS with Pink Paislee London Market and Prima Flowers.

Here is my first creation from this totally gorgeous kit. 

Little girls have a magic all their own.

Everything you see is from the MCS June Limited Edition kit - oh except for the title sentiment and I used some white card for this. 

I did get scissor happy with some fussy cutting

 And layered it up with the fussy cut elements, London Market Ephemera, Prima Flowers and ribbon.

The Eiffel Tower and little tag element sitting on the bird cage were cut out from a couple of the tags which are part of the Ephemera pack.

Prima Flower Packaging was used to layer behind the photo.

 How sweet are the London Market Spool Covers? - These are also part of the kit.  I have another project idea for these, but more about this later :) 

***************
My second layout  has the gorgeous Pink Paislee London Market 'Royal Charm' paper for the base.
A larger banner/bunting  was created from patterned paper.

Pink Paislee packaging was also used - some behind the photo and the floral elements that sit on the crown were also cut from the same packaging. 

The larger Prima bloom was altered with Tattered Angels Patina Glimmer Mist to coordinate.

 A London Market Jumbo Number also features along with the crown from the Ephemera pack, a spool cover and  some more Prima Flowers.

***************

For my following project, I was inspired to create somewhat of a garden theme and wanted it to appear as if Miss E and Missy N were meandering their way through it.

I wonder how many butterflies they found?

Once again I got scissor happy - gosh these patterned papers are perfect for cutting out elements and so pretty.

I used one of the bases from the Twiddleybitz Opening Gates Set as a template to trace around to create the arch that sits behind the photo.  The removed middle insert created the open gate effect - I also removed the centre piece to leave a thin border all the around before attaching.

 The Limited Edition Kit contains gorgeous Prima blooms - here are a few which I have clustered together. 

I also incorporated some of the Prima flower packaging    - the sentiment banners were cut out from this.

*******************

For my final project reveal, this is perhaps a little different to my 'usual thing' but just the same, still had lots of fun putting it together. 

I wanted to make the London Market Jumbo Numbers a feature and have overlapped a number series along one side of the photo.

I again have incorporated some of the Pink Paislee packaging and included travel elements to tie in with the 'world' theme.  

Totally **heart** these gorgeous Prima blooms.  

I loved working with this kit and thank Pam and My Creative Scrapbook for the wonderful opportunity of Guest Designing this month and last.

Before I sign off this post, I must also tell you about the fantastic contest that My Creative Scrapbook are running at the moment.

Instructions:

I snapped these photos of my brother and his wife along with my adorable little niece Gia this past spring.  As soon as I saw the gorgeous Vintage Vogue collection by Pink Paislee I just knew this collection and these photos would be perfect together!  I decided to create an altered photo tray and plan on giving it to my brother and sister in law as a gift for their home.  

1) To create this altered photo tray I began by cutting 6 different patterned papers from the Vintage Vogue Petite Paper Pack to size (approximately 4" x 6") and adhered them to the photo tray using Glue Arts Glue Glider High Tac Adhesive.  

2) Once I had my background papers adhered I simply began filling in each of the sections with photos, embellishments, and additional papers as needed.  

3) I used the Glue Arts U Cut It Foam Adhesive to pop up my photos as well as many of my embellishments to give my project lots of dimension and detail.  

4) Even though the Vintage Vogue Chipboard Pops come with adhesive I used the Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares to give them extra staying power since this is a project that will be on display and I don't want any little pieces to accidentally fall off and get lost.
