Holiday Inspiration Week 3 | Banner & Christmas Cards

Good Morning!  I hope you have all been enjoying the projects that the Design Team has worked up over the past few weeks! It was a nice change to create these altered projects that can be used as home decor over the holidays!  

Today, Leslie and I are going to share with you a couple more projects. I have created a JOY banner and Leslie is sharing three adorable cards!

I created this JOY banner by using some canvas triangles. I sprayed them with red mist and let them dry. Just a tip, they take QUITE a while to dry - so, be prepared to let them sit for a while!  I then cut out some paper triangles using the "Christmas Cheer" collection. I stitched these together and distressed the edges. I then took some chipboard pieces and coated them with Versamark ink and then sprinkled some gold embossing powder on them. I shook off the excess powder and set them with a heat gun. I layered a snowflake and a punched pinked circle and then glued by letter on top. I used gold paint and placed some dots on the snowflakes and brushed some on the outside edges of the pattern paper. After putting all these together, I adhered the paper triangles to the canvas triangles by stitching along the outer edge of the paper triangle. I used my glue gun to adhere the chipboard frames to the triangles. Lastly, I ran a thick piece of ribbon through the grommets on the corners of each triangle while leaving enough on the ends to either tie somewhere or pin up.

Here is Leslie with her project!

I decided to make 3 tiny cards (they’re 4” x 4” squares) with the same “winter” theme.

One is a 3D tree, one is a snowflake and the other is a snowman that I cut on my Silhouette Cameo.
You can use these as gift cards for packages or place cards for a Christmas party, dinner or get together.
