Banners Card Set Tutorial by Maya


Hello, Samantha Walker fans! 
This is Maya, sharing with you a simple card set.

I like giving card sets as gifts. I am always looking for simple and cute designs that can be mass produced easily and are not too bulky.


To make the card, ppen the Samantha Walker Bunting Borders cut file  in Silhouette Design software and reduce the width to 6". Do not forget to click "Lock Aspect Ratio".

Ungroup and drag all banners expect one outside the canvas. Duplicate the shape as many times as needed and arrange on the cutting mat. Cut and repeat the same process with other banners.

I used new 12x12 sheets of paper so I cut all colors separately. If you are using smaller pieces of paper you can cut all banners at the same time.


I used beautiful papers from Samantha Walker Traditions Collection from Carta Bella and American Crafts pearl cardstock


After everything is cut, the fun part begins.  Layer the banners using dimensional adhesive. I like that each card looks a little different. I finished the cards by stamping a sentiment from Samantha Walker "Buntings and Banners" stamp set and by adding a thin line of glitter to the top banner.



I made a band for my card set using the label from the 12 piece tag set.

I cut the inner oval from different patterned paper and added a wood veneer bird and few glittery dots.

I wrapped the band around the stack of 6 cards and 6 enveloped and secured with adhesive on the back. All done!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
