Introducing The Banner Builder Collection!

Good morning and welcome back to Day 3 of our Holiday 2025 new release introductions! Our release will go live on our website at Noon EDT on Saturday, October 4th, but I will be going live on Instagram this evening at 8pm EDT to answer any questions you might have about today's introductions. Let's get to it!

This whole collection came about after I dreamed up a banner I wanted to hang in my house for the holidays. So i did what anyone would do (right?!) and I designed a whole banner creation system, of sorts. This collection includes three shapes of layer-able banners, each with motifs and design elements that can be added to the banner shapes.

First up, we have the Banner Builder: Burgee Die (retails for $50). This is a flag with a slightly tapered, twin pointed shape.

Create your own celebratory banners with the Banner Builder Collection! The Banner Builder: Burgee features a swallowtail design and a trio of embroidered frames ideal for highlighting either the Monogram Alphabet or Banner Builder Alphabet letters. This die includes two sizes of flags that can be used independently or layered to incorporate even more color! Mix and match the accessories in the Banner Builder Collection to create truly unique keepsakes for any occasion!

Next up, we have the Banner Builder: En Pointe Die (retails for $50).

The Banner Builder: En Pointe features a gently pointed design, a decorative window frame ideal for highlighting either the Monogram Alphabet or Banner Builder Alphabet letters, and a ray design with a heart and star that fit perfectly in the center.

And the third flag shape in the is the Banner Builder: Scoop Die (retails for $50).

The Banner Builder: Scoop features a rounded design, a decorative window frame ideal for highlighting either the Monogram Alphabet or Banner Builder Alphabet letters, an embroidered leaf design with a flower, and a cutout laurel design.

I have also really wanted a new alphabet to use for personalizing projects. This Banner Builder system felt like a perfect opportunity to put together a new alpha. After a little fiddling, the Banner Builder Alphabet (letters range from $4-$7 individually, full alphabet retails for $125) was born!

This casual lowercase alphabet is ideal for adding monograms to ornaments or spelling out a happy message on a banner. Each letter comes with both a layering shape and “holes only” die for easy placement. Purchase as a set or individually as your needs arise.

And we couldn't do a new alpha without putting together new numbers and symbols. We present the Banner Builder Numerals & Symbols (retails for $4-$7 individually or as a full set for $75). 

These numbers and symbols coordinate with the Banner Builder Alphabet. Each character comes with both a layering shape and “holes only” die for easy placement. Purchase as a set or individually as your needs arise.

I can't wait for you to see what the ladies have done with this collection! Let's check in with them to see what they have up their sleeves!

Audrey created a festive wall hanging with one of the Banner Builder shapes. I love the idea of creating little decor pieces like this that can be changed out with the seasons. See more of her projects HERE.

Lisa created this charming decor piece in beautiful greens and teals. I love the unique, double flag design that she used! See more of her project over on her blog!

I can't get enough of Mary's incredible garland. Every time I look at it, I see more and more details to enjoy. Make sure to check out Mary's Instagram to see all of the details up close.

I am so excited to share my Banner Builder project, the project that started it all! I chose to use the Giftwrap Color Story today. I love the cheerful, playful colors in this palette and I thought they lent themselves well to the greeting on the banner.

I started by using the Banner Builder: Burgee Die to cut the flags. I used Tundra for all of the small ones and repeating Giftwrap colors for the larger backgrounds. I also cut an ampersand using the Statement Alphabet Ampersand Die.

I used the Banner Builder: Scoop circles to create a focal point on the first five flags and cut the word "merry" using the new Banner Builder Alphabet. I sewed the letters to the flags and then went to town with beads and sequins.

On the second set of flags, I used a Banner Builder: En Pointe starburst design to add pattern to each flag. Then I added the word "bright" using the Monogram Alphabet letters. I decorated each "bright" flag with a star (also from the Banner Builder: En Pointe Die) and a generous sprinkling of sequins.

When it came time to string the flags, I separated each one with a 2.5cm wool felt ball. We will now be carrying this size of ball along with our 1cm balls in a range of 14 colors. I used the Tundra, Pixie, Katydid, Cardinal, and Poolside balls. Some of them aren't an exact match to the felt colors I used, but they still work well (especially if the "near matches" aren't directly next to each other).

I am so excited about this banner. I decorate our family room with a tree hung with reproduction vintage ornaments and those fun, vibrant colors are going to look fabulous with this banner hanging on the fireplace.

I also wanted to make some small wall hangings with these little flags. I love creating little decor pieces that can become part of a collage of other artwork on a wall. These will make it easy to whip up small seasonal items that I can incorporate into my decor.

This first one is a Banner Builder: Scoop flag decorated with the Pawprint Die. I used Sapphire, Tundra, and a little pop of Rouge to create this flag. The Pawprint can be added to any solid surface using the placement die, so this was a snap!

On the back, I spelled out a family pup's name using the Accessory Alphabet. These flags are generous enough that 4-5 letters should fit well. I used a 3/16" dowel and wooden beads to create the bar for hanging.

I also wanted to create a little monogrammed piece for our niece. She has been showing more interest in decorating her room, so I thought she might enjoy this. I used the new Dancing Lights Color Story.

I used the Banner Builder: En Pointe Die to cut the flag. Then, I used the leafy design element from the Banner Builder: Scoop to cut a botanical element into the smaller flag. There is a layer that you can use to add and additional color behind the leaves.

I added her initial using the new Banner Builder Alphabet (I can't get over this font!) as well as a flower from the Banner Builder: Scoop Die. A few beads and sequins rounded out the whole piece nicely. On the back, I used the Keepsake Dates Die to add the year and the little heart from the Banner Builder: En Pointe Die for a small decoration. I hope she likes it and it will fit in with the vision she has for her room.
