Stinkin’ Cute BOO Banner!
October 27, 2008
Okay so I’m late to the game to actaully make a banner, I know. But trust me I’ve had ideas and plans for a while. The ones created at Founders Circle were quite an inspiration but I didn’t want to sew. I don’t particularly like to sew so I kept delaying. We finally went for fabric - OH MY WORD! what an experience - and look what I made with ZERO sewing….
Admit it, it’s STINKIN’ CUTE! I’m quite pleased with my efforts - can you tell? 
Anyhoo, Tangerine Tango for the back pennant, groovy sparkly spider web fabric from local craft store (1/2 off!!) , Tangerine Tango again for the scallops, Tangerine Tango ribbon through jumbo eyelets (applied with the Crop-a-Dile of course) and then I made my letters from coasters with the Sans Serif dies and my BigShot. WHOA! Watch out, I’m getting creative, it’s going to get scarey hahahaha 
After I had the letters in hand I took some Black Craft Ink to them with a dauber (something I learned from eyeing smarter people observing my colleagues at Convention 2008). Imagine that, I learned something because I had to sit with unknown people for make and takes! Hmmm, might have to do that again next year
For those who know me, well you know I wear as much or more ink than my projects usually. The dauber is the excellent solution to this problem. I had minimal damage afterwards and NONE on my clothes HURRAY! After they were dry, which wasn’t long because with the dauber you actually get the ink down in the coasters/chipboard better, I then attacked myself them with the Tombow glue and then the Black Chunky Glitter. I love how they look and the mess really was minimal. I’m no good with glue so of course I was wearing quite a bit of that but that’s my fault not the the glue!
As for the no sewing - MINI GLUE DOTS BABY! Positioned pretty evenly around each pennant and virtually invisible I think I’m pretty smart! I used mini glue dots for the letters to the scallops and then the big pop up glue dots for the scallops to the fabric. I’ll let you know tomorrow if I find them in the floor.
Off now to finish up projects for our team meeting tonight. I have some cute little projects for the gals to make after we talk just a small bit of business. Stamping is more fun anyway!
