Anything But a Card......a Halloween Banner of Cute Spooks!

It's an ABC (Anything But a Card) Day over at Catch the Bug, and it's my turn to create something! :0) I always have a difficult time coming up with projects for ABC Day. I don't have any little ones at my house (my son is 21, and just does not appreciate good paper crafty stuff, ya' know?!). I never know what on earth to do with my goodies once I'm done with them. Hubby keeps every card I give him, and if I start giving him 3D paper objects.....well......I just have no idea where the man will pile them up! lol! Anyhow, it's always a tough day for me to create for my DT assignments, but I am giving it a go!
With Halloween being my favorite holiday of the year (yes, even more-so than Christmas!), and making svg files one of my favorite things to do, I decided to create this Halloween Banner with some svg files that I made using some of the Bugaboo Stamps Halloween Bobblehead images!
I just LOVE the Bobbleheads, and paper piecing these together was so fun!

Note: Cutting files for this project were created with special permission from the copyright holder of each image. Copyright belongs to Bugaboo Stamps.

The other pieces of my banner were created from a Silhouette Studio file. I cut my patterned paper, then adhered it to card stock that was also cut to the same shape. This gave each flag a little more strength, so they won't tear or bend easily.

I blinged up some of the parts of the characters with some Stickles, as well as doing a lot of inking and gel pen work for details.

Here's a closer look at each of my paper piecings on this banner:

Baby Shower Banner & Free SVG (revisit)

Hi, everyone!
I've been on hiatus from card making, working on a banner for my sisters baby shower this week! I finally have it completed, and ready for it's trip to her party! :0) I used my Scalloped Pennant SVG, which is a file I had given away a while back, that I am giving away again, in case you missed it. Please note: the file contains the scalloped banner, and it includes lettering for the word "welcome", both a top layer and a shadow layer for each letter. You can see the font for this here. The file does not include any of the other elements shown on this banner, or the original posted fall banner.
I used papers from the DCWV Nursery Baby Girl Stack. I didn't create my own elements for this one, they are stickers from K&Company that I picked up on sale at JoAnn. I used my ribbon punch to cut the slots for the ribbons.
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the file!

Free SVG Alphabet Banner File

Happy Friday!!!
I hope you are all having good weather, and have some wonderful crafting time to go along with it this weekend! I am on the road, again to Michigan, so I am away from my computer and crafty stuff for a few days. :0(
Before I left, I did put together this SCALLOPED FISHTAIL ALPHABET BANNER for you! :0) I had a request for a "Welcome Baby" Banner, but figured I may as well make the entire alphabet. I think I am going to use this banner design for my son's upcoming graduation in June. I originally was planning on using my Scalloped Pennants Banner from last fall, but I think this one will make a nice "Congratulations" Banner! :0)
Anyhow, here is a pic of the shapes. It has a scalloped base layer, a blank top layer, and top layers for each letter of the alphabet. Thanks for stopping by today! Please leave some love if you download, and come back to let me know what you think of the file once you've had some time to play! :0)

A Completed Pennant Banner for Fall & Free SVG File

Finally, a chance to sit in my favorite chair this week! :)
I had a storm of activity the past three days, beginning with towing a trailer to IN (my first time towing anything). Everything went just fine, and I feel "accomplished"! lol!
I went to Kyle's school to watch his soccer game on Monday (they tied 2-2), and I had dinner with him before taking him back to campus. During the day, while he was in classes, I had a meeting with the Director of Development. I'm making a TON of paper decorations for their Spirit Week (more on those later) and for the Founders Day Dinner. The first project I have finished is the Pennant Banner that I showed you in the Sneak Peek Post. I am SO happy with the way this turned out!

This is the banner, shown full open. It is stretched across 6' in this picture, and it is meant to be draped in front of the reception table at the dinner. 

Below are some additional photos, shown close up for detail.

(Clicking on the photos will open them up in a new window, larger for a better detail image)

All of the flowers are from the 3D Mums and Fall Flowers SVG Kit from SVGCuts.com. The Scarecrow, Farmer and Crow are from the Autumn Cuddly Friends SVG Collection, also from SVGCuts.com.

On the Sunflower, I used a black gel pen, let it dry, and then a white gel pen, for the seeds in the middle. 

I used several of my Cuttlebug Embossing Folders on this project, including the Textile, Swiss Dots, Argyle. I'd love to give you the list of all the papers, but many of them are papers I have had for years, and don't know where they came from. The pennants are all Stampin Up Earth Element colors.

For the scalloped pennant shape, I created the file with SCAL Each pennant can be cut on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. I also made the letters into SVG's, and you can have the pennants and letters as a FREE download, so you can decorate it and make it your own style. :)
