Baby Shower Banner for a Boy


Hello everyone again!

It's been a while that I didn't post here. Well, I am busy.

Remember my It's a Girl Baby Shower Banner?Well, while I am out of town or in Florida with my husband there's one customer asking for a version of banner for a boy. 

There's lot of design in mind that I want to create but this one that has a collar is the one that I want really to make. I was challenge. Good that I have scratch papers for my samples which cut and fold and sizing if it is good for banner. When I got the right size then I said this is the correct size pendant for my banner. But I noticed I will have only 2 cuts for 12 x 12 cardstocks. So I think again how I will do it. What I did the collar was not included on the polo shirt on cutting it. In my Silhouette Cameo program, I edit my design. Cut the collar on  it and put some wholes or circles as my stitching guide. So on the 12 x 12 cardstocks instead of 2 polo shirts I have now 3 cuts of polo shirt in 12 x 12 cardstocks and 1 piece of collar only. After my Silhouette Cameo cuts all the shapes including the collar I fold it and use the DMC thread to sewed on the shirt and the collar. In my design, I wanted to include the sewing design/style/technique. So I sewed the collar and shirt plus the sleeves. It is so cute on personal. 

Let me say, in this design I want to incorporate the the polo shirt design, stitches technique and the assorted cute button. 

It come up like this. These are so cute. I used the DCWM cardstocks. Special patterned and glittered or dry embossed cardstocks.


Each pendants measures 7.74 " and 5.50". I used the nylon dot ribbon size 5/8" only.
I really love this banner. My version for Baby Boy.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting
