Storybook Cricut Cartridge Sample - Birthday Banner

I love making my own birthday banners and now Storybook makes it easy for everyone! 

Start by using coordinating papers, making sure the letters contrast enough with the background you are using.

Materials:
Coordinating Cardstock
Dots adhesive or glue stick
Ribbon
  
Step one:  Cut out 13 Daisy (T's Shift) using the Blackout Feature at 4".

Step two:  Cut out 2 Clover (M's Shift) at 4".

Step three:  Cut out HAPPY BIRTHDAY at 2.5" using the Shorty Feature.

Step four:  Glue on letters using adhesive in center of scallops.

Step five:  Thread ribbon through holes.

Now you are ready to celebrate! 

These would also make a fun birthday gift for a friend.  I love a gift I can use again and again.
