POW! Celebrate Freedom this Independence day with a DIY 4th of July Banner

DAZZLE POW! DIY Freedom July 4th banner

I am IN LOVE with Banners. We have a 4th of July party every year and I am so excited about these new decorations for this special day! These fabulous CANVAS banners are in the New 2014-2015 catalog and I am thrilled. They can be dressed up for any holiday and deliver just the bam, pow, wham that the 4th calls for. When you dress it up with June's paper pumpkin kit - Pinwheel Party and our new star framelits and red sparkle paper, it's fouth-fabulous!

Here's the simply created banner kit that I used to create it. It comes with letter stencils, 4 design stencils, stampin spritzer x2, 18 CLOTH pennant banners, and jute twine for multiple banners!

Here are some close ups of the beauty
