that will give you everything you need to create the banner I'm showing you today
so you get these fun little glittery accent pieces
you get four pre-scored designer rosettes
you get some really cute ribbon including exclusive pumpkin pie seam
binding
these these fun accessories to go with the rosettes
or however you choose to use them and then my personal favorite part are these
super cute little buttons you get the
black vintage faceted buttons and then the summer starfruit buttons
both of which are exclusive to this kit so to get started I wanna give you a couple of
tips that will help you be successful
my first set of advice is that before you even begin
any of your sponge daubing or spritzing
of your patterns lay out your banner decide how you want it to look
and I mentioned that the kit comes with the stampin' sprizter
but today we're going to be using a sponge dauber it gives you a little bit
different look
and you can experiment with both and decide which you like best
I put just a little bit of snail on the back of
my stencil but you could do um spray adhesive instead both of them work
and I'm just going to place this level with the bottom of my
pennant it and what this is doing is this is giving me a lot of room
to work with
so that I have lots of chevron design I'm gonna make this little
s pendant for you today so I'm just gonna bring in my pumpkin pie
ink and I've just put a little bit reinker in the in the lid
you can just work directly from the pad if you want either way
and I'm just gonna pick up a little bit ink using my sponge dauber
and then I found it easiest if you just rub that ink
right on and this goes a really quick and it's really easy to do you
I'm just going to show you one more quick row and you can just kind of play with the
saturation if you want this to be lighter don't use quite as much
ink if you want it to be darker use more ink I've got that I have already
finished
let me show you what that looks like and as you can see
you've got this spot here where the mask was and that's fine because our rosette
is gonna cover that up
but you can see this came together really super quick and then
we can do our letter I put a little snail again on the back at this to
keep my
stencil in place then I'm going to bring in my basic gray ink pad and pick up just a little
bit of ink
I want that to be a little bit lighter so I'm not going to push
as hard but I'm just gonna start working the ink in over the top of the pattern
to give me my s
and again you see how quickly that goes together
there you go I've got my very first pennant
this pennant is not complete yet because we have to accessorize it so let me show you
how to make the rosettes
okay like I mentioned that your kit comes with
four designer rosettes and that you get two of each color they're kinda long
in strips like this and what you're going to do is you can accordion fold them
together like that
until you get them all the way around then you're going to stick the two ends together and
you get kind this kind of
fun floppy little guy I'm going to use my silicone rubber
mat and I'm going to put a dollop of hot glue press that rosette down
very carefully don't burn yourself stick that right in the glue
you're gonna wanna let the glue dry like we have but then you have this fun
little accent piece that you can use accessorize your banner
and see it completely covers up the masked part
now you can enjoy putting the rest of your accent pieces from your fun little
accessory kit on there
and then string the banner with the jute twine now you can follow our simple
instructions to make the banner
exactly as you see it here or if you want you can go crazy and make it
exactly as you want and design however you want
I hope that you have as much fun as we have put in your fun little spooky
banner together and
happy Halloween
