We have a beautiful stone fireplace in the family room of our home. I love it so much, that I will never put any type of artwork or other decor above the mantel as I want that to be the focal point of the room. I think adding anything else would take away its natural beauty and that would be a shame. I do like to dress the mantel up for the holidays and seasons though, but often come short on ideas. But the Chalkboard Banner Simply Created Kit from Stampin’ Up! has completely changed that for me. I can easily create festive decor for all sorts of occasions!
The Chalkboard Banner Simply Created Kit has everything you need to create fun banners for every occasion. There are 15 banner pennants in chalkboard-coated chipboard, 32 die-cut paper pennants, 5 tissue paper pompoms, 10 feet of jute twine an chalk. The chippboard and paper pennants measure 4″ x 6″ each.
I wanted to dress my mantel up for Spring, so I spelled out H-a-p-p-y S-p-r-i-n-g on the chalkboard coasted chipboard and choose some coordinating paper pennants, along with the pompoms. Then I put it all together, hammered a couple of small nails into the mantel, tied the twine on and voila, a beautiful “Happy Spring” banner.
After the banner was up, I added a daisy floral wreath and a DIY spring flower basket that I made. A canvas print from our wedding sits in the middle. I love the look and can’t wait to decorate the mantel for other occasions!
