Seasons Greetings Banner


 This is the third of the banners I recently made.  Just like the "Give Thanks" and "Spooky" banners, this one was fun to make and went together easily.  I just did all of the steps assembly line style.  Took patience and time, but I am so pleased with how they all turned out!  I'm thinking now of making a banner for my stamp room!  Just need to figure out what it should say - maybe "create".  If you have a better idea, please share!

Some highlights in the details:

The letters were cut from white felt using a Sizzix alphabet.

The circles behind the letters were punched from red and green glitter sticker paper.

The DSP came from several different packs of SU papers - just mixed and matched coordinating colors and patterns.

The polka dot tags were from a bucket of holiday chipboard gift tags purchased at Target a couple of years ago (I bought them because the little clear bucket the were packaged in was so cute!)  They came with ribbons on them, so I just tied them into bows.

The gingerbread men are cupcake toppers, also purchased a few years ago.


The snowflakes are SU's felt flurries.

The candy canes and joy banners are little wood decorations from, you guessed it, a purchase several years ago!  See, I eventually use my stuff, when I remember what I have, where it is, and have the perfect project!
Off to stamp some more!

I love this, Paige. Do you have a display of your work in your stamp room? You could do the word SAMPLES.
