Decorate Your Tree with the Slice

The Slice is a GREAT tool to use when trimming your tree. These ornaments are easy to make and very affordable. We used Making Memories' holiday paper and Slice Fa La La Design Card.

To create these ornaments for your own tree, follow these simple instructions:
1. Choose a design from the Fa La La design card.
2.Cut your design three times (same size and same shape).
    TIP: Cut the designs from multiple pieces of patterned paper
3. Lightly fold the shape in half.
4. Glue two shapes together (glue from the outside only until the fold) to make ornament.
5. Apply adhesive to the third shape and apply to the ornament.
6. Use a jump ring or wire to create loop to hang ornament.
7. Embellish with ribbon.

July's ....7 Days of Christmas

Holiday Silverware Setting

Supplies Used: Noel Paper, Noel Holly paper, Noel Joy paper, Noel Cheer paper, Noel Ornaments paper, Noel Rejoice paper, Noel Traditions paper, Noel Noteworthy, Noel 12 x 12 cardstock stickers, Bo Bunny double dot ribbon, Bo Bunny buttons and bling

Designer's Note: Use a stocking template to trace onto patterned paper. Adhere two of the stockings together using a strong liquid adhesive to form a pocket. Place silver ware into each stocking and place on each plate at the table. Or stuff the stockings with a treat for each of your guests. Use left over ribbon and holiday decorations to decorate each stocking.

Amazing Banner....

Check out  this amazing Magic of Oz banner, also by Hilde. She is well known for her fabulous banners and this one is no exception! This banner is so gorgeous! It would look amazing in any room of the house!

"When I saw this collection I knew I was going to make a banner. I decorated each tennant with paper first and then added my embellishments. I wanted to have a tennant with the main characters of the Wizard of Oz. So together with the chipboard with the word they are looking for in the famous movie,  I thought this would be a perfect banner for a kids room! I love the colors of this collection! I added dots around the banners to highlight them. Lots of layering to create dimension. The chipboards are covered with Smooch spritz." -Hilde Janbroers
