I didn't leave the house this past weekend....and I loved it! The snow kept me inside, but I also was getting caught up on some much needed stamping! I'll be showing you more projects over the next few days.
This banner was inspired by the banner that I made here with my Die Cut Divas. Everyone seemed to love it. Well, one of my divas was over for my January class last week and mentioned she was making love banners. Thanks for the idea, Suzie! What a great idea! I'm not sure what hers looks like, but I decided to make my own!
I used the color choices from the Occasions Mini Catalog in the Love Impressions Specialty DSP" Pink Pirouette, Real Red, and Basic Gray. LOVE this combo!
So, how did I make it? I cut squares of chipboard and Red Glimmer Paper (121790) in 3.5x3.5, adhered them together with the Sizzix Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (120805), then ran them through my Big Shot with my Scallop Squares Duo Bigz Die (120903) which is still available from the Holiday Mini Catalog.
I cut layering background pieces out of Whisper White card stock and the Pink Pirouette DSP from the combo. What's that? You're wondering where that is? Well, the swatch in the catalog doesn't show it, but the "All You Need in Love" swatch has about 8 inches of fabulous heavy-weight pink pirouette over the sentiment. Also look for those little hearts on a project sometime soon as well. So, if you're not a scrapbooker, you can still use this paper!
I cut the letters with my Big Shot as well with my most favorite alphabet, Simple Letters (115960). I should have used my multipurpose adhesive as well for the letters, but I was lazy and used glue dots. I must have used a few thousand glue dots this weekend! I then embellished with a punched glittery heart and some basic pearls.
I assembled the final project with some Pretty-in-Pink 1-1/2" striped grosgrain ribbon and my hot glue gun.
just beautiful!!!
