Teresa Collins eBosser 'In Time for the Holidays' Blog Hop!

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog! I hope you are enjoying all of the fun projects along the way!! I am sharing with you my advent banner using the TcEbosser and pieces from the Teresa Collins collection Santa's List! You can see some of my supplies above: The Teresa Collins Ebosser and Stars embossing folder (sold separetly), star shaped dies & scalloped die cuts (spellbinders), side b of the music notes paper, Packaging from collection I had saved, sequins, washi tape (shown below), Doilies, white paint, ribbon and music sheets.

The first thing you will want to do is run all of your tags through the machine using the Star embossing folder. I then cut the bottoms into banners and painted around all of the edges in white. Which is totally optional but I love the look of a bead of white paint around the edges of paper. 

Then I cut out all of my stars using a star die and I cut through EIGHT SHEETS at once!! I love how strong this machine is!!

I never throw away pretty packaging. I had a lot left over from kits I had made and I just knew I would find a use for them! I cut out the bottom left where it says Christmas using a scallop die with the machine. Then for the upper left where the Santa logo is I just used a small circle punch. 

I used another die and cut 25 of them using the machine and white card stock, then added the numbers from the side B of the music notes paper from the collection.

To start your assembly of your tags alternate between washi tapes along the left edges of your tags.

Add your scalloped circles (yes, I painted around them too!) then add a strip of your washi tape.

Add your star music notes (and yes, I painted around them too!!) let your stars hang off of the right edge. Then add your layered numbers to the left of your stars. 

Next, cut your doilies in half and add them to the back of the left side. Then add your santa's using pop dots overlapping your numbers and stars. To finish them off add a couple of sequins and add a little white ribbon bow to the top.

I added them to a thin white ribbon then hung them above our chimney. 

I hope you enjoyed the project!! I know my family is liking the new addition to the mantle this year!

In case you missed it *TC - Celebrate* Happy Birthday Banner

The Happy Birthday Banner was on Teresa's blog Wednesday and in case you missed it, here it is again.  If you have not seen the Celebrate line just you wait, it's a m a z i n g!!! Just at a glance I was smitten with the blues, reds and oranges. 

I was straightening up my paper mess and as I was organizing I discovered, this line has a few different looks to it, like I said the fun blues, reds and oranges. Then I noticed the creams and whites... My mind was flying, what could I do to show you JUST HOW VERSATILE this line is. Ahhhh, the excitement. I stared and stared and the next morning woke up with this great idea and I was in my scrap room before the coffee was done! (That says A LOT!)

Here's what I came up with:

Once I figured out the shape I wanted it to be I cut all my pieces, distressed all the edges and started layering:
My first layer was the back of the Blue Birthday Party paper

Then I layered it with the Happy Birthday Transparency

I then cut a circle and a strip from the back of the pendants paper. I used a scallop punch for the bottom strip and adhered it to the lined paper (the first layer).

I cut strips out of the Definitions paper, I did do this creatively to make sure I had the words I wanted at the the top of the strips. Then I pleated the paper to make a "Lolly" gluing them to a piece of chipboard so they wouldn't pop up.





















Then added the individual Banner letters to each piece.





















I then put doilies on the tops and bottoms to give it the lacy look and connected them with large brads.

And there you have it. I love it! I hope it inspires you to see things for more that what they seam to be at first glance too. Have a great weekend! ~C
