Romantic Banner Cards How-To
1. Download and print banner template. Cut out the phrase banner you would like to place onto card.

2. Trace decorative paper to front of card. Martha traced decorative paper 1/4 inch smaller on all sides than card in order to create a border effect.

3. Add Positionable Mounting Adhesive (PMA) to back of decorative paper. Decide where you want the banner to go; using a utility knife, make two slits in paper for the banner ends. Trim decorative paper to desired size for card. Insert banner ends into slits, then stick decorative paper to card.

4. If desired, add glitter details to highlight the design or picture on decorative paper. Dab white glue on details using a fine point bottle or fine point brush, then sprinkle with glitter. Tap paper slightly to remove any excess.

    Can PMA be used on fabric?

    EXCELLENT! I HAVE BEEN MAKING CARDS FOR GIFTS. BOXING THEM UP WITH MATCHING ENVELOPES THIS MOUNTING PMA WILL MAKE THINGS GO SO MUCH EASIER. THE GLUE AND THE GLAS CRYSTALS ARE BETTER THAN THE EMBOSING PWDER AS WELL. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHEN I FINISH ONE BOX WITH THIS TECHNIQUE, I WILL SEN YOU ONE. THANK YOU NIECE FROM CT.
