Banner Decoration by September Guest Designer Ellen Hax

Happy Monday! I'd like to introduce our guest designer for the month of September - Ellen Hax! 


Ellen is going to wow you this month with her incredible coloring skills! We have been a fan of her work for some time and can't wait to share her projects using Newton's Nook Designs stamps! Check out her first amazing  project below and come back each Monday this month to see fresh inspiration from her! 

Hello Newton-lovers!! I'm Ellen and super excited to be the next guest for Newton's Nook Design!! I'm 25 and at the point of many changes in my life (1st job, learn to drive, thinking about buying a house,...). Of course I love be creative in my spare time. This hobby started when I received a copic marker box that I got as Christmas present from my boyfriend two years ago. Probably he regret the present, because I'm seriously addicted to it now! hihi!!

It's time to show you my first project. Next to cards I also love to make other paper projects. Below I show you step by step how I made a paper banner for a friend.

1. First cut a banner and use alpha stickers to spell a name, word,...
2. Than use a mini flag banner and make a small whole in a paper straw. You can sew your own banner or buy it like I did. Make a knot at the outside or use washi tape to stick the flag banner on the straw.
3. The most fun part is coloring of course. I used a kitty from the Newton's Holiday Mischief and from the Newton Unwinds stamp set.
4. The last step is to glue things down; I used a glue gun for it.

This is the end result:

Isn't it perfect to decorate your craft room or use as a cake topper? I had so much fun with it and I really hope this was inspiring!! See you next Monday.
