Fall Leaf Banner

Today’s  Cooking with Cricut  Giving Thanks Blog Hop is all about Thanksgiving Decorations.
Fall Leaf Banner made with Cricut
I love Fall decorations.  The warm, rich and cozy colors of the Season really get me in the Fall mood. For this Hop,  I decided to make a Fall banner to hang in my dining room.
I used a variety of Cricut cartridges to make this Fall Leaf Banner banner.
 Cricut Cornicpoia
To make the basket look 3D, I cut it twice. Once using the regular cut then again using the blackout option. I stuff some paper wedges inside the basket and added pop-dots on the fruits for dimension.

The banner leaves are cut at 7 inches and the Fall font is cut at 3 inches. I used raffia to tie the banner together and then embellished the letter leaves with buttons.

  3. I love your banner, especially the leaves under the font. I’ve wanted to try a banner, but I never thought I had a place for one – the china closet is perfect.

  15. Wow Holly, your banner is incredible, love it! The cornucopia is great and thank you for sharing how you made it look more dimensional. And I did not realize that Paper Doll Dress Up had that cut, I will have to look at that! I love the leaves as the background and the papers are great.
    Thank you for playing along in our Harvest Cricut Crawl this week at FCCB!

  35. Hi! Your banner is super cute! I am trying to make it but having some trouble. I cut the colored leaves 7” by 7” and the patterned leaves 5.7” by 5.7”. The patterned leaf is not fitting center inside the colored leaf. What am I doing wrong?
