Here are the details for the banner:
I used the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge (my all time favorite) and stretched the swirl1 design on page 25 of the handbook using Cricut Craft Room. I was even able to make a layer with a decent shadow -- woo hoo! Each background piece for the banner is 5" wide x approx. 6 1/2" long.
Scalloped ovals: Elegant Edges cut at 5 1/4"
Letters: Storybook Cricut cartridge cut at 4 1/2" and then embossed using my Cuttlebug
Top borders: Various border punches and Bazzill Just the Edge strips
Tree: Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge cut at 5 1/4" (I added some Stickles to the leaves.)
Pumpkins: Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge cut at 1 1/2" and 1" (embossed with my Cuttlebug)
Flowers: Recollections (most of them anyway, two were made with my Cricut - see below)
Butterflies: Martha Stewart punch
Leaves: Spellbinders die
Grass: Fiskars border punch
Bible verse: Computer generated and punched using a McGill punch
Rolled flower: Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge cut at 5" and one cut at 6 1/2". I decided the 5" rose was a better size cut. It was easier to work with. I have a closeup of this flower below.
I also submitted this for the current "pumpkin" challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut!
I think that's about it! I hope you like it as much as I do. Click on the pictures for a better look. Thanks in advance for any comments you leave. Be inspired!
