June Summer Banner. Create a fun and festive banner for summer with the We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board and Pebbles, Inc. paper.
Today, I am sharing my June banner for my 12 Months of Banners series.
I have been waiting to use the flip flop and mermaid papers from the Pebbles paper pack. They are so cute and definitely feel like summer to me!
We have been spending a lot of time in our pool to beat the heat, and I think we all may be turning into mermaids. Ha!

How to Make a Summer Banner
Supplies:
- We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board
- Patterned Papers (Pebbles Paper Pad: Best of)
- Cardstock
- Adhesive
- Paper Trimmer
- Adhesive Squares
- Twine
- Cricut Machine
Create Pennant Banner Pieces
Start by cutting solid pink, yellow and green card stock with a paper trimmer to 4 1/2″ wide.
Using the banner punch board, I created a pennant shape at the bottom of each banner piece.
Open the cutting arm and line up the paper at the number 4.5 vertical white lines. Line up the bottom edge of your paper with the horizontal blue line that says 7.5.
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.
Trim the length of the banner shape to 5″ long.
Repeat this process so you have 2 green, 2 pink, and 2 yellow solid color pennants.

Create Patterned Pennant Banner Pieces
Next, you will make pennant shapes out of your patterned cardstock.
This time cut your paper to 4 inches wide, create a pennant shape at the bottom of the paper and trim the overall length to 4 1/2″ long.
Attach Banner Pieces
Attach a patterned piece of paper to each solid-colored piece of cardstock to create a layered banner shape.
Punch holes in the top corners of each banner piece using the punch board.
Add SUMMER Letters
I cut letters that spelled out ‘SUMMER’ with my Cricut on white card stock. The font I used is called Bebas. The letters are 2 1/2″ tall.
Attach the letters to the banner pieces using adhesive foam squares.
Assemble the Banner with Twine
The banner needed a little something extra, so I used pink, yellow, and green twine to match the three solid colors of cardstock to string the banner together.
To make the twine show on the front of the banner, I started by coming up with the twine through the back on the left, across the front, and then down through the hole on the right.
The colors are perfect for summer and remind me of being in the water. I think this banner will be perfect for the pool party we will be throwing next month!
