today I am featuring the
simply created build a banner kit and the
Christmas banner accessory kit these are such cute and fun products let me show you
what's in them
you get a cute little paper that shows you what to do
inside this you get three stencils you have
Chevron stencil polka dots and stripes
and then this is a shield
I'll show you how to use it in just a minute and then have a whole set of alphabet
letters
which you can chose to use any one you want and then you get 18 banners
there are three different styles you get six if each style
and then the jute to put
up when you're finished now in the Christmas banner
kit you get some pre-scored rosettes
rosettes and all kinds of goodies just to
make your banner look amazing and when it's all finished
it looks like this
this one says joy and then
another example of what you could do is noel now of course it's up to you can
have the banner say whatever you want so let me show you how to do
the spritzing in the kit you also get a stampin spritzer
so I have put pool party in mine
and you just put a little bit of reinker and then either alcohol or water
I've put alcohol
because it will dry faster but either one will work
and then you might want to just
remember how much you use in case you need to you put more in later or do a
refill
and get about the same there now the other thing you want to do is
lay out your pennants beforehand and decide which one if you are going to spell noel
which is going to be the n and then the o and so on so that when you're
you don't run out of the banner style that you like so let's do stripes for
this one
just lay the stencil right over the top like that
and now we're going to do some spritzing my number one rule of spritzing
is to make sure that the nozzle is pointed away from you
so that's really the only thing you need to watch and
make sure to cover your area pretty well just in case you don't get exactly where
you are trying to go and I'm gonna do a test spritz just in a trash can
just make sure it's working and then you just spritz over the top
and
kind of wait for a second for it to soak in and then you can do a little bit more
spritzing does pool on the stencil a little bit
so you need to kind of
watch that when you remove the stencil don't spill it so there we go it's pretty
well covered
just slide that off that and then you can just take that and run it right under the
water if you want to so that's the first step
next we're going to put the shield on so now we're protecting everything
we've already spritzed
and I've got the N so put that over the top
that I have a separate Stampin' Spritzer that I've put basic gray ink in and
you can either dump the other one out or if you have a spare one on hand that's
great too
so basic gray test spirit
now I just darker colors are
a much bigger commitment in my mind
so there we see we've got our
and all perfectly created there let's take a look at the
finished version one more time so now you can
see and have a better appreciation for what you will be able to create
cute designs sky's the limit with what you can spell
enjoy have fun
