Tuesday Tip – Banners – Joanne Bain

Posted on June 18, 2013 by JoanneB

Hi Everyone

Banners are everywhere at the moment, they can be made in many shapes and are perfect to add interest to any project. Whether they be pre made or handmade they add the perfect finishing touch to any page.

Why not try cutting the bottoms of patterned paper strips to banner bottoms for added interest.

The banners on the layout above were pre made. You can always choose to add more to but I chose to leave them plain and simple for this page.

The page below has a handmade banner, I chose to use lots of layers and add extra embellishing to it. I used a small tag as a template and added extra layers to it.

What is great about handmade banners is that you can use your paper scraps and there is no right or wrong way to make them. I make them as I can add so much interest and dimension to my pages. Handmade banners can be made any colour or shape to coordinate with your page.

Banners can also be made as an Off The Page project which would be perfect for decorating for a party.

I chose to create this one for my little man. It is attached to the wall above his star chart.

So why not try getting your banner on with your next project.

Happy creating!!!

The sketch was an inspirational one, using the idea of two photos on the page I turned the sketch around on its side. Sketches are great tools for scrappers, you don’t have to use all the elements or you can use them different ways. Hope you find time to join in and create – Happy Crafting everyone”
