Spellbinders Holiday Blog Hop

Welcome to the first day of the Spellbinders™ Paper Arts Holiday Hoppin’ Blog Hop!  Spellbinders, along with Creative Impressions are showcasing their newest products just in time for your Holiday crafting and gift giving.  Lots of creative ideas are in store, as well as prizes galore!  Each participating company has generously donated towards the prize package listed on the Spellbinders Blog.  A total of two identical prize packages, one for each day, November 18 and 19 will be given away!  To enter, just leave a comment on a participating blog!  Comments in the first 48 hours of the post are eligible.  One commenter each day will be randomly selected as the winner.  Winners will be announced on November 22, on the Spellbinders Blog!
Today I am using Spellbinders S4-289 Wonky Squares die template and Creative Impressions products.  I have made a christmas banner and on each triangle I have used the Wonky Square Dies.  See if you can identify them. 

 My favorite is the flower I have made with it.  I Also used Creative Impressions fabulous ribbon including Crepe Ribbon, Organdy Dots, Curling Grid ribbon, Stitched ribbon, Mini Checked and Swirl Organdy.  I combined Spellbinders Snowflake die with Creative impressions Felt Snowflakes and love the dimension it creates.  The felt leaves and flowers are also Creative Impressions.  Do you see the Flower the cardinals are resting on?  Its made from the Autumn felt leaves that Creative Impressions sells.  I used Glimmer Brads to hold the snowflakes and the flowers together.  I love using Spellbinder Dies on my projects.  This was very fun and easy to create!

    The rest of your blog rocks, too. 😉

  15. Nice banner! This hop is too long. wish they would split it and do 1/2 of the designers one day and the other half the next day. Just a suggestion. Happy Holidays!

  22. Sorry I had said I liked your card, it is your banner I liked, but I was looking around your site at your other cards and they were on my mind, Loved the pumpking card and a few of the snowman cards, great job on your coloring with your copics.

  23. Love the flower you made from the wonky squares. I also like how you used the leftover cardstock and made a background for the P. Very creative ways to use the die.

  24. What a great idea! You just gave me more ideas for the Wonky Squares – die cut a letter in the middle of one, I like that idea!
    I don't think that I have seen your site before but I want to say that you do beautiful and creative work.

  25. Lovely banner!! I love the way you combined so many colours and so many different elements onto your banner. It' really unique!
