Die Cuttin’ Divas #417 – Anything Goes

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!  Today is a start of a new challenge from Die Cuttin’ Divas.  This week’s challenge is “Anything Goes!”  The challenge will run from today, Tuesday, April 30th until Monday, May 6th. 

Here is my inspiration for you: 

A friend of a friend needed a banner for her son's Hot-wheels themed birthday party on Sunday.  Of course, I didn't take any pictures before handing it off so I do not have any closes-up shots, but, the letters are flames!  How cool is that?!  This is one of the funnest banners I have made!  

Here is what I used: 

I had used the checkered paper on another design team post a few years ago and I knew this paper would work.  Once printed I used my trusty old  Silhouette Cameo to cut out the triangles.  All of the other colored paper is from stock on hand.  

Digital Delights

Fabulous Fifties Digital Paper Pack (checkered paper)

 I am not gonna lie, this was inspired by an esty post.  I asked the customer what font she wanted to go with and "Firestarter" is what she sent.  DaFont is AMAZING place for free fonts!

He is Risen!

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Normally I wouldn’t post on Easter Sunday, but we are all home with colds.  I decided to finally finish this banner I started last year. 

Here it is all finished!

Here is a close up of the Lion, Lamb, and the Cross

From Jaded Blossom I used the Fancy Topper Die and from KaDoodle Bug I used the Lion (Cutesy Zoo Animals) and the Lamp (Cute Farm Animals).  The cross I designed myself with the Silhouette.  The font is an old Creative Memories cartridge, Traveler at 4".

Thank you for stopping by and Happy Easter!

"I love you" banner

My goal this year is to use my Jaded Blossom fancy die topper and make a banner each month.  I was a little slow in getting January’s banner posted but not February’s and March’s is already in the works. 

I am going to enter this banner in the Jaded Blossom February Challenge, “Crafter’s choice”.  Enjoy and I hope this inspires you do something different

Back to School Banner

I am really into making banners.  This is one I put together to celebrate Genevieve going back to school.  Her school colors are red, black and white.  I was actually able to put it together in about 2 hours!  Enjoy. ~~ Katie Sr.
