Banners can be used for everything! They can be small on a card or scrapbook page or large for party décor. My son's goddaughter is having her first birthday this weekend so I made this photo/selfie frame for it. As you can tell, I had a lot of fun making it & it was a huge hit during the party!
It was really hard to take a picture of the frame itself since it's 3x4 feet. The cuts ranged from 10" to 3.5".
I purchased a cut file from Miss Kate's Cuttables of carnival snacks. She has the cutest SVGs and many of them are free. Check her website out here.
I also used the Nifty Fifties cartridge for the soda bottles, the Create-A-Critter cartridge for the animals, pedestals, peanuts & balls and an assortment of fonts for the letters.
This was the first time I looked for carnival-themed cuts and was happy to find out that I had a bunch in the Create-A-Critter cartridge.
The triangles for the banner were cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge. You could use basic shapes to cut them, but I liked the rounded corners on these triangles, plus the holes were already set.

So glad your post answered my questions...I was wondering how large this project was. Great job, I am sure if made for a fantastic party.

Awesome project for your son's Goddaughter's birthday party. So cute! Who can resist a carnival or circus? Great choices of cuts and thank you also for including the range of sizes. It's sometimes hard to tell that with only photos. Janet BBTB2
