Omedeto Banner

I know it's shocking, but here's another craft I put together for my bro's wedding party!

This is an Omedeto Banner, which, I believe, means Congratulations in Japanese:

I used the Ribbons & Rosettes Cricut cartridge for the background rosettes, the Nate's ABCs cartridge for the lettering, and the Pagoda cartridge for the flowers.

Here's a close-up of an "O":

There was lots of folding & gluing involved but I think it turned out quite pretty.

Thanksgiving Banner

Again, a little late but here's the Thanksgiving banner I made, it's actually currently still on the wall. :p

Here's the banner in its entirety:

A bit close on the letters:

For this banner I used the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge for the turkeys and leafs, and used the Cricut Alphabet for the letters. It's hung up by twine and I attached the leafs using clothes line clips. I Mod Podged paper onto the clips to make them cute then hot glued the buttons on after tying raffia on the buttons.

Here's one of the turkeys:

A close up of the buttons on the turkey:

The eyes are buttons with black bling jewels glued on top.

It was fun making something a little different and nice to finally have some Thanksgiving decorations!

Happy Halloween Banner

It's a little late but I wanted to show off the Halloween banner I made this year. It's currently hung up in my craft room until I figure out a good way to store it till next year.

Here's the whole banner:

I made the banner using the Pretty Pennants, Flower Shop & Kate's ABCs cartridges.

Here's a close up of some letters:

I used a coat or two of extreme glitter Mod Podge to give it some sparkle.

A close up of the flower:

The flowers were a lot of work but I thought they turned out quite nice, obviously I used sparkly buttons for the center. Can you tell I like me some glitter... :)

I held the banner together by putting in black eyelets then tying them together with ribbon. I thought the eyelets might make it a bit more sturdy but I think it makes it looked rather nice too.

Now back to work making party favors for my soon to be sister-in-law's bridal shower! Those posts will come eventually... Lots of work but lots of fun!
