Now that the Christmas decorations have been put away, January can feel a little bit dreary. Why not brighten it up with a brightly colored paper banner?! I'm super excited about this very very easy way to make your own fabulous papel picado banner! How easy is it? As easy as downloading the FREE cut files I designed and cutting them out with your ScanNCut!
Watch the video for the how-to:
I love the way it turned out!
I hope you'll make your own! If you do, be sure to post it online and share it with me using the hashtag #balzerdesigns!
Thanks for stopping by!

I love all your info about Scan n Cut, it has all helped me to get started, but I am having so much trouble with my Canvas account. I have done some layouts and saved them to the cloud, but the system will not let me back in! I’ve checked and re-checked and tried ‘Forgot Password’ but it keeps saying ‘no such account exists’. You are the only person I can contact directly. I apologise if this is inappropriate but I am SO frustrated; I only set up my account 6 days ago. Is there any advice you can offer on how I should proceed please?
