It's A Banner Day with **GCD Studios**


I'm back again with my monthly technique project for GCD Studios!! I just love the fun feel of banners that I've been seeing everywhere and I'm here to say let's look outside the triangle for our banners! I love triangle banners, too, but get creative and create a banner wherever your imagination will take you. For these two cards I decided to create a watermelon banner and a flower banner. To make the watermelon banner just use your scalloped circle punch or die and cut out a green circle and use your circle punch or die and cut out a pink circle that you'll attach to your scalloped circle. Cut this in half, add a couple of seeds, string them along and voile a fab watermelon banner!!

Use different colors and just have a scalloped semi circle banner! You can probably figure out the flower banner...just use a punch or die to cut out some flowers...center them with some fabulous brads (like these from GCD Studios), string them along and voile a flower banner!

Do you see the possibities when you think outside the triangle!! I would love to see some of your creative banner ideas! Comment here and send me a link to a project you've made using a fun banner! Hugs, Cheryl
