Well, I didn't get the chance to play around with those new stamps just yet! I've been on a "banner-making" kick lately and I have one to share here today. I also have a retirement banner in the works, so you'll have to stay tuned for that one! They are such a fun and nice way to display some color splash and can be easily stored...until next time! I put this ensemble together for a friend who requested a monkey theme for her little girls first birthday. I had the hardest time finding a cute girlie monkey, so I came up with this brilliant idea to buy a packet of stickers (there was only 1 image of this cute monkey in there!!) and photo copy the image on
PTI white
card stock. I was able to get 6 monkey images on a full sheet of cs...you don't want any more than 6 on a full sheet because you need to allow room for you
nesty dies to cut them out.
Once I got the monkey image center cut, I stamped my pink scallop (
PTI-Faux Ribbon) and used my Karen Foster snap stamps for "Kathryn". I stamped each letter individually vs. having them attached, otherwise they would not have fit! I cut several more
SU! coordinating cs colors and on the pink cs I used a
SU! Polka Dot
bg stamp. There is also a little added touch of yellow to the monkey's flower with an adhesive rhinestone.
I printed all the party info. on a
nesty cut circle and adhered it to the back.
The banner is probably my favorite to date! I love to make these! The colors on this particular banner are so fun and vibrant! My
gf asked if I could use
Kathryn's middle name as well. I wasn't able to fit it on the invites so I incorporated it with the beginning and end pieces of the banner. I cut out all the rectangles with my
nesty dies.
I was really sporadic with my
PTI-Polka Dot Basics set here. I used an open polka dot first, then went back and filled in
sporadically with my solid polka dots. To connect all the rectangles I used a regular paper hole punch and strung
thru some May Arts ribbon (
I buy May Arts ribbon by the spool from Jody!) and then I went back and added coordinating ribbons in between the rectangles.

We ABSOLUTELY love them. I think you should use that monkey on everything! You are brilliant and I can't believe how much work you put into these!
