Basket Bunch Beautiful Banner... Happy Easter ...

LOL... what a tongue twister of a title!!!

I just had to make another banner whilst the Beautiful Banners stamps , Banners Framelits  and Layered Letters - were all still out... Previous banner made with Falling in Love papers shared earlier here...

But then the Basket Bunch stamps and the Basket Builder dies were also still out... 

As were the Cupcakes and Carousels papers... which I then decided are just perfect for the light and bright feel we need for Easter celebrations...

So they all came together like so! 

And a wonderful tip for you... The Gift Bag Punch Board is perfect for punching 2 holes at the same time in the back of your banners to thread the ribbon through... so easy...

This is not my original fantastic idea... but one I saw on our Stampin' Up! Demo Only Facebook Group (yes we have one of those!!! And it is fabulously inspiring... though lethal on the pocket... ) And after much searching... I am delighted to be able to say thank you to the clever and talented Anja Luft who has some piccys on here blog to explain how if you click here... 

Home Sweet Home Beautiful Banner

Here is a Falling in Love  Home Sweet Home banner that has proven to be very popular in my classes this month...

Original idea being a Happy Mother's Day banner ... but quickly becoming one to adorn our own homes!!! LOL...   Followed by craft space decoration... gifts for new baby girls... Congratulations, Happy Birthday and oh... even one for Mother's Day after all!!!!

Want to make your own? I have a Beautiful Banners Kit in the Mail option with full instructions for you... Please contact me here...

I used the somewhat overlooked gem of a stamp set in the Annual Catalogue...called Beautiful Banners (available in Wood and Clear Mount)

With co-ordinating dies, Banners Framelits...

Along with the perfect alphabet to simply make banners for any occasion... Layered Letters

And finished off simply with Lace Doilies, Falling in Love embellishments , 1/4" Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon and a tassle from the Cupcakes & Carousels embellishment pack

 

Simply sweet! 

Though 2 things I will change when I make another one... and I told everyone to change as they made theirs...

(1) Leave a wider gap between the words when I assemble the banner!

(2) Stamp the letters central in the banner area as intended... I had left room for the half doilies at the top...

PS Yes my supersized clock is over 2 foot in diameter.... so it is a decent sized banner!
