Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Speaking of fun, we hang out with acool crowdin Phoenix! LOL!! What a great group shot!

How cute was Beth’s mini pumpkin book on Savvy Saturday?! Seeing all those pumpkins lined up like that inspired me to do a banner! So today, we will be making a cooler seasoned one - SNOW!! There, I said that “S” word!I will be dedicatingthis project tomy friends who experienced their first snowfall last week and you all can keep it there for awhile too. I am in no hurry for the white stuff. LOL!

Inmy stash of Spellbinders™ die templates, I will be usingS5-019 Labels Eight, S5-017 Snowflake Frameabilities® and S4-223 Create-A-Flake Two Shapeabilties®. **Please note: that S5-017 Snowflake Frameabilities® and S4-223 Create-A-Flake Two Shapeabilties® are two of a bunch of die templates that will be manufactured up until the end of this month (marked “Limited Time Only”). So better pick yours up real quick because once they’re gone, they’re gone!

First, we’ll start with the base of the banner (the panels)so cut/emboss four S5-019 Labels Eight die #6 (smallest size being #1) withMy Mind’s Eye Colorful Christmas Collection. Then I choose colors from Core’dinations Core Color cardstockthat match perfectly with MME’s Colorful Christmas Collection and cut/embossed four S5-017 Snowflake Frameabilties® (the largest frame). After embossing all four of the S5-017 Snowflake Frameabilities®, I sanded the embossed areas.

With wet adhesive, I adhered each frame to each panel and let dry. Then I used a retired font set and cut out the letters “S”, “N”, and “W” in silver glitter paper I had in my scrap pile. I centered and adhered each letter to each panel. For the “O” I thought it would be fun to use the S4-223 Create-A-Flake Two Shapeabilties® in various colors of blue and white glitter papers. So I cut/emboss the entire set since I knew I will use other pieces in future projects. I picked out one piece from each color and adhered each layer. With the last one, I used foam adhesive to give dimension.

On each panel, I usedTattered Angels GlimmerGlimmer Chips Frosty Memories along withCrafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Cuts - Winter Wonderland to embellish a little more. I love how things just fit together! Here’s the “S” panel to give a close-up of all that were added…notice the globs of glitter gluethat were added as snow on the “S” (remember to give it time to dry).

In the end, I punched a hole on each side of each panel and threaded some twine (not to distract from all the colors) to connect and it is ready to be displayed!

So hope you have a banner day!
Thanks for visiting!!
