Chalkboard Banner with Cricut {tutorial} & Party Idea Blog Hop

This post is not sponsored, but affiliate links are used. Thanks for supporting Ginger Snap Crafts. :)

Good morning! I am excited to partner today with some of my favorite bloggers to bring you tons of fun party ideas made with our Cricut machines. :) Fun, right? I think the most important party decor is the banner. Am I right? I love hanging happy birthday banners, good luck banners, congratulation banners, etc. for any party or occasion that I host. That’s why I love this Chalkboard Banner. It’s super cute, and you can change it up depending on what occasion you are celebrating. Let me show you how easy is was to put together. :) (Annnnd you’ll want to scroll down all the way to the bottom of this post. I have links to all the other party ideas there! So fun!)
