The pennant is made by cutting three inch Whisper White squares to a center peak at one end.
This picture shows the Real Red frame part of the die cut surrounding the inside part of the Whisper White die cut. A word balloon! The "strings" on the balloons are natural hemp twine attached with mini glue dots. The yellow balloon is the second to the largest circle on the Circles #2 Die. We used Varsity Alphabet and Real Red ink to stamp the words.
I used the Oval Frame Die twice, once with Real Red cardstock and second with Whisper White cardstock. The inside part of the Real Red frame became a balloon as you can see in the photo above. The blue balloon is made with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch (page 19 of the Holiday Mini catalog). A couple of quick strokes with the White Gel Pen gives the balloons a touch of life.
