Reeds are the most delicate landscape here – tall thin stems with seed heads that look like they are swaying. A ribbon banner crosses the design, leaving room to letter a name, a date or a short greeting by hand.

What’s Inside
- Reeds · With Banner — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Reeds · With Banner. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. Six or eight slender stems rise from a waterline, each tipped with a narrow seed head, and most of them lean slightly in the same direction. That shared lean is what suggests wind, and it is the only thing you need to get right. A ribbon banner crosses the design, leaving room to letter a name, a date or a short greeting by hand.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Bathrooms, minimalist rooms, quiet corners and tall narrow windows.
