Holiday Hoopla with Taylored Expressions

Taylored Expressions is hosting a Holiday Hoopla today and I'm excited to be a part of it. You should have arrived here from Charmaine Ikach's blog. If you didn't (or if you get lost along the way) you can head back to the beginning at Taylor's blog for the full list of participants.

There are 22 designers showcasing Christmas/Winter/Holiday stamps sets from TE with samples that include all sorts of projects from cards to gifts and beyond! We want to inspire you to get your holiday crafting and card making into high gear! Be sure to stick with me all the way to the end of the post to get a coupon code for 25% off holiday stamp sets at Taylored Expressions!

The set I'm showcasing is Season's Sweetings and I love it because not only was it one of my very first TE purchases, but it has my favorite sweet treat - Cuppie!

I created another holiday banner. I had so much fun making the Halloween one, I decided to go all out for Christmas.

Here are some close ups I was able to do with my photo tent.

If you like this and want to create one it's SUPER easy. Here's what you'll need:

pennant shaped dies
cardstock
printed paper
ribbon
small hole punch
chipboard alpha letters or stickers
glitter
images of your choice
glue/dimensionals

If you don't have pennant shaped dies (I used ones from TCP), you can do whatever shape you want really. I picked up naked chipboard alpha shapes at my local craft store, but you can also use stickers, die cuts of printed paper, alpha stamps.... the sky's the limit! After you cut out your pennant flags, you will need to assemble the cardstock and patterned paper. Assuming you've already put glitter on your chipboard letters, you will glue them to your flags. You will then need to "link" the flags together with ribbon or twine, by punching small holes at the top of them - one in each corner. Then simply weave your ribbon through so that the ribbon is only showing at the back. And finally decorate however you want!
