March Spring Banner

Updated on September 15, 2023

Today, I am sharing my March banner for my ‘12 Months of Banners‘ series. March means spring and I wanted to create a fun and bright spring banner to match the season. I have challenged myself to try a new technique each month with my banner. So, for this month, I created my banner using two different since banner shapes on each banner section. I really love the way this one turned out.

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

Supplies needed:

We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board
Patterned papers from Pebbles Paper Pad: Best of
Paper trimmer
White Cardstock
2″ Scallop Punch
Gold Thickers
Yellow Twine
Adhesive
Adhesive squares

To create this spring banner, I started by choosing some papers that felt like spring to me. They were simple patterned papers with either polka dots or a chevron pattern. I chose shades of pink, teal, green and yellow to match a beautiful floral paper I found in the paper pad. I cut each of the six patterned papers to 4″ wide using my paper trimmer.

Using the banner punch board, I created a flag shape at the bottom of each banner piece by lining up my paper at the 4 vertical white lines. 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.

I then trimmed each banner piece to 6″ long using my paper trimmer.

To create the smaller banner shapes, I followed the same steps for the floral paper as above, except I first cut the paper 3″ wide. Once I had cut the flag shape in the bottom of the banner piece I trimmed each one to be 5″ long.

I attached the smaller floral banners to the patterned papers using adhesive.
