Wouldn't you love to create a keepsake banner that you could use for every celebration that you could display with pride and know that you put it all together for less than $30? Well you can! And it's SO EASY!
The Build a Banner Kit comes with (almost) everything you need to create a banner that you can customize to any occasion OR one that says “CELEBRATE” or “WE GATHER TOGETHER” or “WE ARE FAMILY” or any saying up to eighteen letters long that you can use over and over, at every event, starting a new tradition and always having a perfect item to show your love and pride at your events.
The kit contains 18 white canvas pennants with button holes precut for your string, thick white twine for stringing, 26 alphabet and 10 number stencils, 5 image stencils and 4 masking stencils to create endless combinations and a Stampin' Spritzer. The ONLY thing you need to add to this kit is your choice of color reinker for just $3.50 US and your total outlay for something you could use for generations would be $26.50. Seriously? That's AWESOME?
Now of course, you could always really jazz this kit up with stamps, colors, ribbon and embellishments; at the totally reasonable starting price you can add items that have a special meaning to you, your family or your intended recipient of this beautiful banner and still be able to create something lasting and meaningful for less than you would have to pay for a completed project. In the interest of #TBT here's a photo of a banner that a member shared on Stamping Family; she made this as a commissioned project at the price of $75!
And the added bonus? Any leftover canvas pieces make absolutely adorable accents to any project AND those stencils are reusable! Have you checked out all the cool stenciling techniques you can do? And with stencils costing anywhere from $5 to $10 alone, you can see why these have me so excited – it's like getting extra tools for “free”! You would have every single letter of the alphabet to use on any other craft project plus the numbers PLUS the cute backgrounds and masks. Gee, now that I think about it, maybe this is a stencil kit with free banner pieces!
So check out the Build A Banner Kit for just $23.00 on page 155 of the Stampin' Up! catalog and start planning out how you will create your own keepsake banner to show how much you cherish your family events – and show off maybe just a little as to how crafty you are!
