February Heart Banner

Updated on October 4, 2022

Today, I am sharing my February banner for my ‘12 Months of Banners‘ series. February makes me think of Valentine’s Day and love, so I decided to create a heart banner for this month’s banner. It is mostly pink and white with touches of gold. It is perfect to go with any Valentine’s decor.

I want to thank American Crafts with supplying me with the products for this series. This post contains affiliate links.

Supplies needed:

We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board
Pink and white heart paper from Pebbles Paper Pad: Best of
White textured cardstock
Paper trimmer
Crush Collection Ephemera
Red and white twine
Cricut Explore
Evolution Advanced
Heart embossing folder
Gold eyelets
Eyelet setting tool
Adhesive
Adhesive squares

For this banner I found some adorable pink paper from the Pebbles, Inc. paper pad that was a rosy pink color with little white hearts all over it. I used one 12″ x 12″ sheet and cut three 4″ wide strips from the paper.

When creating crest banner shapes, I line up the bottom of the paper along the blue horizontal 7.5 line and in between the two white vertical lines labeled with a 4 (since my banner is 4 inches wide) on the banner punch board.

Close the cutting arm, and use the cutting blade to trim down first from the left and then from the right along the top guide.

Pull the paper out and trim the paper to approximately 5 1/4″ long. Punch holes on the top edges for the string to go through.

Cut out the heart shapes on white textured cardstock using the Cricut Explore. You will want to choose 6 project copies so you have two hearts for each banner piece.

I ran the larger heart shapes through the Evolution Advanced with a heart embossing folder.

I attached the larger heart to the banner using adhesive. I then attached the smaller heart shape using adhesive foam squares.

I added gold eyelets to the holes at the top using my Crop-O-Dile.

I felt like the banner was still missing something so I added some pieces from the Crush Collection ephemera pack using both adhesive and foam squares.
