God Bless Kyler Banner


I preparing for little Kyler's Christening I wanted to create some simple, yet elegant decorations.  For this banner I turned to Lettering Delights.  They have two perfect SVG collections that were just perfect!  I used the Accordion Fold Rosettes and the Pennants to cut the perfect size every time, quickly and easily. (There is a picture at the bottom of the page of the size and what it looked like before I cut it out).   Along the edge of each pennant I used the Tim Holtz mini rosette die and pleated it to create a beautiful trim along the edge. The lettering if from the Cricut Storybook cartridge.  I cut the white shadow twice.  I placed one white shadow letter on the rosette and added dimension with foam tape raising the rest of the letters up a bit.  The finishing touch was a clear dangling teardrop gem that I added to the bottom of each pennant.   I hung the entire banner over the curtain rod going out to our back yard.





The Accordion Fold Rosettes from Lettering Delight come with 18 different rosette patterns so I had plenty to choose from.  I like this one and made it nice and large so I could fit my letters on top of it. 

 I put the pennants on on it's side so I could fit 2 on each page saving time and paper.
