N - O - E - L

I have been in the holiday spirit since this weekends snow flurries. I grabbed some of my stencils and thought this would make a wonderful wall hanging.

First, I chose the 4 sides of patterned paper I wanted to use. The paper collection is from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses Collection Pack. Simply LOVE it!!! I then traced the letters onto the patterned paper. To put the paper on the letters I used modge podge so I didn't have to worry about the paper coming off. Once it was dry I used a file to smooth the edges down.

Now for some inking. I used creamy caramel ink for the edges. If you are going to ink your edges make sure you do this before you put your embelishments on!

Decorating your letters. I used ribbon, brads, flowers and some of the FABULOUS stickers that come with the Eskimo Kisses paper kit. The santa on the letter "N" came with it. Doesn't he look so cute!!! :)

Putting it all together was a breeze! I punched holes at the bottom and/or the top. (depending on what letter I was doing). Tied them together and there you have it. A cute, fun and easy to make holiday wall hanging.

This would make great gifts for family, friends, co-workers and for all of your holiday gift giving exchanges. The letters I used were about 2-3 inches tall. You could make 3-4 wall hangings with 1 sheet of 12x12 pattern paper. In this paper kit you'll have enough papers and stickers to make wall hangings, holiday cards, gift tags, and layouts!!!

HOHOHO!!! Happy Scrappin'
