I love taking one small tool or product and finding a ton of different ways to use it on my card projects. That is what we are doing today with the Three Banner Punch. You can use the punch as I did, or create your own banners and use them in a ton of creative ways which I will share below. I’m also highlighting the new Stampin’ Up Phrases & Frames bundle, which is truly gorgeous. Let’s get started.

Stampin’ Up! Phrases & Frames Bundle
This is a gorgeous stamp and die set for making lovely greeting tags with stunning frames. The die set pairs with our new impressions plate to both cut and emboss.

I also used the Three Banner Punch for today’s projects. This is one of my most-used punches. It creates these cute little banners, which I’m sharing a lot of different ways to use. Keep in mind if you do not have this punch, I shared some tips at the beginning of the video for cutting your own banners by hand.

Ideas For Using Banners To Decorate Your Card Projects
Let’s take a look at the cards that I created. We will talk about each one individually, and I’ll share how I used the banner punches in different ways on each card.

Layered Frames Card
Banner Tip – Use two tiny banners to create the look of a ribbon hanging out beneath a card element.

Hanging Banner Card
Banner Tip – Use twine and several banners to make a hanging banner.

Simple Frames Card
Banner Tip – Make long banners, score them 3/4″ and 1″ from each end, and fold to add dimension.

Another Frames Card
Banner Tips – I used banners in two different ways on this card. I used three banners near the top corner for a fun decoration, and I also used two of them sticking out horizontally from the greeting tag.

Really enjoyed this video, Anna! I have this punch, but you showed tips & tricks that I hadn’t even thought of; my brain is old . Thank you for sharing your time and creative talents with us!
I really enjoy your videos, and the things you say to make us think about our lives. I have not used a lot of banners, but after your video I probably will use more. I appreciate you.
Loved the black and white ideas.
