Are you ready to party? It's party time for two weeks at Simon's Monday challenge! I made a party banner and favor, which could be used for a Christmas party, a celebration of winter, a sledding and hot cocoa party, or just a fun get together. Join us in the party and make something to share!
(Photo heavy post)
Party Favor
I just love this Crate Paper Snow and Cocoa line! I inked around the edges with High Dive and cut a strip of blue and layered patterned paper onto it.
I cut small strips of paper and wrapped each chocolate, then put them into a cellophane bag which I attached to the paper strip.
Make a fun topper for the candy, and voila - you have a fun and easy party favor!
Banner
I had a hard time getting a photo of the banner in its entirety, so I will be sharing each piece so you can see the details.
I started out by making my banner bases out of cardboard. I measured and cut each piece. I know there are also die cuts you can use to make a banner.
As you can see, I used a lot of embellishments to pretty up each part of the banner. Somehow as I work, my workspace gets smaller and smaller - does that happen to you?
Here you can see the before and after bling...
Now, for each letter in CELEBRATE...
Isn't this such a fun line for a party?
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Happy Winter Solstice!
Happy Winter!
So, come on over and join the party! I can't wait to see what you share!

ReplyDeleteThis came out so pretty!! Another year I should make a Christmas banner. I'm usually making cards and working on my December Daily, so other Christmas-related crafting doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable party favor and banner, Maura! I love the way you embellished both :)

ReplyDeleteOh Maura! We can absolutely never go shopping together because I'm convinced we would be reaching for the same things the whole time!! I adore your taste in materials (I, too, adore this line) and I love seeing what that crafty mind of yours conjures up. This banner is delicious- every letter so thoughtfully framed and highlighted and I love the mix of bling and nature!
