Mini Birthday Banners

You know my mom and I love banners! So, it should be no surprise that we made mini birthday banners for many of our family member's upcoming birthdays!

We thought the colors and patterns in the It's My Party DSP Stack was perfect for both the ladies and the guys in our family. There are neutral colors mixed with greens, yellows, and pinks, making it a fantastic balance for everyone.

 First we determined which patterns from the It's My Party DSP Stack would work as the background to the letters. Then we punched the banner pennants and stamped one letter on each banner pennant to spell Happy Birthday.

The Back to Basics Alphabet is the perfect size and font for the banner punch. It is not too big or too small. The font is clear and not too fussy. I can see making banners for graduation, retirement, and inside cards for a pop up banner!

Next we added coordinating patterned banners between Happy and Birthday and on each end for more embellishment. Finally, we glued the banner pennants to a length of Basic Black Baker's Twine, placing glue only on the top of the back of each pennant.

On the banner photographed above, we added a Melon Mambo cupcake to the center banner pennant. So adorable!

My husband still has his banner up even though his birthday was in the middle of March! He said that his banner was a fun surprise to show him how much I cared. He won't let me take it down. He got very sentimental! He is too sweet!

Out of all of the products retiring this year, my mom, my aunts, and I are the most sad about the banner punch, Back to Basics Alphabet stamp set, and the It's My Party Suite. Luckily, we all have these banner making goodies!

If you like our banners and would like to make your own, I suggest ordering soon so you don't miss out! I would love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!
