Happy Birthday Banner

Here's an idea you can use next time you're planning a birthday party for someone special - embellish a fun birthday banner just for the occasion!

Supplies I Used:

• Banner: Clear Scraps
• Clear Mini Cupcake Shapes: Clear Scraps
• Chipboard Bird and Flower Shapes: Clear Scraps
• Ribbon: Creative Impressions
• Chipboard Letters: My Little Shoebox, Junkitz
• Patterned Papers: My Little Shoebox
• Die Cuts: My Little Shoebox
• Flowers and Flower Centers: Accent Scrapbooking
• Other Embellishments: Magic Mesh
• Marker: Zig Painty Pen
• Paper Edgers: Fiskars
• Adhesives: Scor-Tape by Scor-Pal, Glue Dots

I used a pages from the Clear Scraps cupcake mini album as a template for tracing around the Junkitz cupcake paper, and then I added both the cupcake shapes and the cut-out papers to the banner. The smaller cupcakes aren't ordinarily part of the banner, but I wanted to make my banner a little longer so I added them.

I love using my Clear Scraps acrylic shapes as templates! They are amazing! I wrote an earlier blog post with more ideas for how to do so. I hope you will find it helpful.
