Hi everyone,  just want ed to ask everyone's opinion, hope it's not to much of a silly question, but is anyone still into making banners for layouts, cards, ect. I was thinking about buying a set of large banner dies from Paper Smooches on here, personally, I'm still on the banner bandwagon, lol, do you think i should buy the set?

I still LOVE banners. I have a punch and i have a cart for the cricut that I use. I'd say GO FOR IT!!!!

I love banners!! I don't know what it is about them, but I can't get enough!!  they make me happy!
I vote yes, buy the dies.

I'm with Joannie, go for it. I think banners are awesome. I will make a banner out of just about anything and I believe they can be the perfect touch needed on a layout.  Check out some of the banners I have added to layouts if you would like to.

Oooh, which cricut cartridge cuts banners? 

I'm definitely still on the banner bandwagon! I thought about investing in dies, too.  There are some cute ones out there.  I have a couple banner flag  punches I use on a regular basis.  I found this idea on pinterest I thought I'd share.  maybe most of you cherries already know this trick, but I've been making all my banners this way since I saw it.  I use a 1 1/2" inch square punch, and this trick will work for skinny or wide banners.  Not sure what dies you have in mind, because I know there are some cute ones in different styles, but thought I'd share.

Great trick! I use kind of a digital version of that method when I scrap digitally, but if I make a paper project I usually just hand cut them. I'll have to remember this! 

I love banners too.  I have a few punches and dies. Stacy, thanks so much for sharing that idea.  I'm going to give that a try!!

I too vote YES!!!. I love banners, and should use them more often

I have a large banner punch and a small one. I love them. 

I LOVE banners! I have banner dies and banner punches and banner stickers that I use with twine and pop dots, and I use digital banners a lot on my digi pages!

Yep I still love and use banners too.  Love the trick you shared

I have two sets of nesting triangle dies. One an equilateral triangle and the other is isocoleis.

I still love banners!

I also still use my banner stamps and punches.

I'm not tired of seeing banners yet.  there are so many shapes you can use to make them look different.

I still use banners, and I say go for it!!  New supplies are so much fun!

Two cartridges I have from Creative Memories that have both pennant shapes and banners are "Holiday Frames and Tags" and "Tiny Treasures".  You can also find them on CTMH's "Artbooking" cartridge and on "When I was a Kid."  There are some pennant shapes on "Straight from the Nest," "Carousel," "Country Life," "Create a Critter 2," and "Small Talk Frames and Tags."  These are just the ones I know of.  You might find them on a cartridge under layers or icons and have to play around with the real dial size or hide some cuts if you use a gypsy or CCR.  Good luck finding some banners hopefully on a cart you have!! If not, I'd suggest the Small Talk Frames and Tags--it's a newer one and needs the universal overlay.  And, I do love my Artbooking cartridge!
