Ok. So let's go big with my first project. I'm showing the new Christmas Circles stamp set (one the first banner piece), but the star of this show is the adorable Scalloped Bags & Tags Creator Confetti Cuts. There is so much you can do with these dies, lots of cut bags and the tags, and I decided on a banner with the set. It was so fun to create. I started with picking and assortment of patterns of paper from the new Winter Solstice 6x6 pad. These papers are SO ME! the colors are gorgeous and the prints are awesome. Once I picked my 5 (I started this thinking I was going to spell out MERRY, and then went a different direction when I couldn't narrow down my stamp choices. lol. Too many to love!) patterns I cut the scallop panel and then stitched around the edges for that homemade feel.

I'll take the next series of photos to show you a close up of each banner piece. I decided to decorate each one differently with an assortment of RC holiday goodies. First up the new Christmas Circles in Piggy Bank ink. I cut them with the coorinating circle die and added the scalloped border in Lime Green card stock (I hid the tab under the holly). I added layers with the Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts in Sand and Cloud White card stocks. I added some Holly Confetti Cuts, I ink blended Olive ink onto the holly leaves and cut the berries from Cloud White and Salsa card stock.

I used Sand card stock and the rounded rectangle die from Kindness Cards Confetti Cuts and added the tall candle from Christmas Candles stamp set. Sentiment was stamped in Midnight ink. The pine boughs are stamped in Olive ink and I added some sparkle with some Red Stickles glitter.

I cut the largest circles from Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts and stamped a sentiment Seasonal Sentiments from in Olive ink. I guess now, would be a good time to mention I added some Old Paper Distress ink to all the edges of all of my pieces. I love the vintage feel it gives to the projects.

This next banner piece shows off the Kindness Cards Confetti Cuts again and I topped it with Snowflake Trio and a festive red bulb from Merry & Bright. I adore this dotted paper from the Winter Solstice paper pad.

My finale banner piece from the Scalloped Bag & Tag Creator Confetti Cuts shows the cut Triangle Trees stamp set, in piggy bank and sentiment in Olive ink. I mounted those onto a Circle 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts. I used buttons and twine and some olive grosgrain ribbon to tie the banner together. It was a quick project to pull together once I decided on the elements I wanted to use.

Switching gears completely from holiday to everyday.....let's talk COFFEE! Yep, there is an a great new coffee set and coordinating Confetti Cuts called Drink More Coffee! I used my favorite sentiment from the set. Isn't is awesome. It makes me smile.

I created my own background paper with repeatedly stamping the coffee stamp in Midnight ink onto Sand card stock. I then layered that with a Dark Roast and added the completed layers to a Premium Polar White card base.

The main image panel started with the Stitched Rays Cover Panel and some ink blending with Bumblebee ink and a touch of Rust. I then used the Round Top Tags Confetti Cut to cut out a tag and then added a strip of pattern paper from Every Little Bits pad. I stamped the sentiment from Drink More Coffee in Rust ink and added stripes to the mug in Rust, also. I used the Drink More Coffee Confetti Cuts to cut out the cute little mug.

Here is the list of projects for today's Hop!

So much Inspiration.
