Wanna great way to make custom embellishments? And, oh yeah, bonus, you get to use up tons of scraps! My crafty friend, Irene (YT: Craftyirina) is a master at making up little embellishments from scraps of papers, doilies, little flowers, paper clips, etcetera. I, on the other hand, am easily bored and have a hard time making more than a few of any one thing. LOL Ā These little banner embellies, however, were really fun and easy to make so I think I’ll be making more (although with different embellie focal pieces to keep my interest).

20150420_153329I printed out a few meaningful words and cut them into banners, used scraps from my scrap box to cut out larger banners, an EK Success circle scalloped punch, bits of paper doily, and a Creative Memories circle punch to assemble some fun and easy decorative embellishments that can be used on cards, layouts, or any kind of paper project. Ā The main focal point of them were the hand made dogwood flowers that are so fast and easy to make with the Diemond Dies Dogwood Flowers dies. Ā If interested in how to make these realistic flowers, please check out the video HERE.

The following is a video share of the project (PS: I also included an extra light Steampunk styel one as well as a little doggy themed one):

The Steampunk banner embellishment is being entered into the following challenges:
